When using a mining module (eg a mining laser or an ice harvester), the ore/ice/gas is only harvested at the ''end'' of the module's cycle (so if a module mines, for instance, 100 m3/min of ore, and the module has a 60 second cycle time, then at the end of each 60 second cycle, 100 m3 of ore are deposited in the ship's cargo or ore hold). Unlike most other active [[module]]s in ~~Eve~~, mining modules can be short-cycled; i.e. their cycle can be interrupted, and a new cycle can be begun immediately (most other modules will always complete their current cycle before shutting off).

If you short-cycle a mining module, it will deposit an amount of ore in the ship's cargo or ore hold, proportional to the length of time the module was active. For instance, if the above-mentioned 100 m3/min mining laser is shut off after 45 seconds (compared to a full cycle of 60 seconds), it will mine 100 * (45/60) = 75 m3 of ore.
