Moon mining can take place only at refineries anchored within 250 km of a mining beacon and fitted with a Standup Moon Drill I service module, which appears on the outside of the structure as a '''''giant laser turret''''' aimed at the moon. A single cycle takes between 6 and 56 days depending on setup. The steps are as follows:

# Anchor the structure within 250 km of moon mining beacon. The beacon can be warped to from the right click menu in space. Only one refinery can be placed within range of the beacon.

# Set the length of the desired mining cycle. The amount of ore brought up with each cycle is directly proportional to the cycle time (~~20k~~ m³ per hour), so choose whatever works best for your schedule

# Set the length of the desired mining cycle. The amount of ore brought up with each cycle is directly proportional to the cycle time (30k m³ per hour), so choose whatever works best for your schedule

# Fire the laser at the moon. This will break off a chunk of the moon and allow it to be pulled away from the surface.

# The mining turret's tractor beam will gradually pull the chunk away from the surface. It will continue to move into position until the time you specified in step 2.
