Mining: Difference between revisions

Once you have chosen what kind of ore you would like to mine, you will want to maximise the quantity you mine over time. This involves choosing what [[Mining Ships|ship]] to mine in, what [[ORE_Basic_Ship_and_Skill_Guide#Fitting_strategies_and_mining_modules|modules]] to fit to it, and what [[Mining#Skills|skills]] to train; see those links for more details.

=== Ice, ~~Gas~~, and ~~Moon mining~~ ===

=== Ice, gas, and moon harvesting ===

So far this article has only talked about mining asteroids containing ore, but there are in fact two more things in Eve that can be mined: ice and gas. While they share some similarities with asteroid mining, their mechanics are in many ways quite different, and are therefore covered in separate articles: [[Ice Mining]] and [[Gas Cloud Mining]].

~~Mining~~ moons ~~requires a POS (~~player-owned ~~starbase)~~ and is ~~[[POS and YOU#Moon_Mining|~~completely different ~~topic]]~~.

In addition to ore, ice and gas can also be harvested. While the actual harvesting mechanics are fairly similar, the ships, equipment, and locations differ significantly from mining ore. ''(Further details can be found in [[ice harvesting]] and [[gas cloud harvesting]].)''

While the process of extracting resources from moons is often referred as "moon mining", it involves the use of [[player-owned starbases]] rather than ships, and is a completely different activity.
