Modulated miners can be used without loading mining crystals into them, but they will perform worse (have lower yield) than their basic tech 1 counterparts. Mining crystals also modify the amount of capacitor used every time a mining module is activated; the crystals for common ore types reduce the amount of capacitor used (up to -20% for the Veldspar crystals), while the crystals for the rarer ores increase the amount of capacitor used (up to +100% for the Mercoxit crystals). This may become an issue when [[Mining Yield#Short-cycling|short-cycling]] mining modules (i.e. manually deactivating them before their cycle is complete, and then immediately re-activating them), as they use capacitor every time they are activated, and so you may need to wait a moment for your capacitor to recharge.

Generally, miners will carry a few sets of mining crystals in their cargo bays for the [[Asteroids and Ore#Ore variants|ore types they will encounter]] in their chosen mining area. Mining crystals take up 15m3 / 25m3 (for tech 1 / tech 2 crystals, respectively), and while the cargo hold of mining ships are not enormous, they are generally spacious enough to carry several tens of hour's worth of crystals. Organised [[Mining fleets|mining fleets]] often use the [[Orca|Orca's]] enormous cargohold to store spare mining crystals for the entire fleet.

In order to use the mining crystal you need to have trained its corresponding ore processing skill to III (IV for the Tech 2 crystal). For instance, to use Veldspar Mining Crystal Is, you need to have trained {{sk|Simple Ore Processing|III}}. Mining crystals only affect ore mining; there are no corresponding crystals for ice or gas mining.
