Unlike the various [[Mining|ore mining]] tools, ice harvesting tools always harvest one block of ice (with a volume of 1,000{{m3}}) per cycle; because of this, the best method of harvesting ice more efficiently is to decrease the ice harvesters' cycle times. | Unlike the various [[Mining|ore mining]] tools, ice harvesting tools always harvest one block of ice (with a volume of 1,000{{m3}}) per cycle; because of this, the best method of harvesting ice more efficiently is to decrease the ice harvesters' cycle times. | ||

Before the expansion, ice belts were permanent features in a system, with thousands of ice asteroids spread over hundreds of kilometers. This was changed to much smaller (10–20 ice asteroids each with 50–200 units of ice) dynamic belts which disappear once mined out, and then respawn four hours later. The [[Expansions#2021|Gateway release]] (September 2021) then increased the respawn time to six hours.}} | ||

Ice belts disappear once mined out, and then respawn 6 hours later.<ref>[https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-19-08 Patch Notes - Version 19.08]</ref> This timer does not work across downtime; there is always an ice belt after downtime—a new one or the leftovers of a not finished one before the downtime. Also unlike [[Asteroids and ore#Asteroid belts|asteroid belts]], ice belts are a type of [[Cosmic Anomaly]], meaning that they will appear in a different location in the star system every time they respawn, and can be found using a ship's onboard scanner, though they do not require [[Probe scanning|scan probes]] to find. | ||
Like regular asteroid belts, hostile NPCs periodically spawn in ice belts. The rats spawn ~20 min between waves. | Like regular asteroid belts, hostile NPCs periodically spawn in ice belts. The rats spawn ~20 min between waves. | ||
