Mining crystals are consumables loaded into certain Tech II mining modules to augment their mining yields.

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.

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 6m3 / 10m3 (for ~~tech 1~~ / ~~tech 2~~ crystals, respectively). Organized [[mining fleet]]s often use their mining command ships' enormous cargoholds to store spare mining crystals for the entire fleet.

There are only mining crystals for standard asteroid ores and moon ores, and none for ice or gas mining.

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.-->
