The two meta 1 gas cloud harvesters have lower fitting requirements than the meta 0 module, however, even an average-skilled pilot should have no problem fitting a [[Venture]] with two meta 0 gas cloud harvesters. The tech 2 module has 50% more yield than its tech 1 counterparts, and is therefore a very worthwhile upgrade despite the long skill training time (and the slightly more demanding fitting - although it should still not cause problems for most miners). The Syndicate harvester (obtainable from the [[Intaki Syndicate]] LP store), is very rare, expensive, and almost never worth using unless you need every last drop of CPU fitting for other modules.

=== Mining laser upgrades and ice harvester upgrades ===

Mining laser upgrades are low-slot modules which increase the ship's ore mining yield (~~more~~ m3 of ~~ore~~ mined per minute). They use a moderate amount of CPU, but their notable downside is that they increase the amount of CPU used by the mining lasers / strip miners installed on your ship (commonly referred to a "CPU penalty"). For example (assuming no skills or other factors), a Strip Miner I normally requires 60 TF of CPU, but if you install a Mining Laser Upgrade I on your ship, it now requires 60 + 10% = 66 TF. You can mitigate this penalty by training the {{sk|Mining Upgrades}} skill, which reduces it by 5% per skill level.

Mining laser upgrades and ice harvester upgrades are low-slot modules which increase the ship's ore and ice mining yield, respectively. Mining laser upgrades increase the amount of ore mined per minute (m3/min), and ice harvester upgrades reduce the cycle time of ice harvesters (allowing more ice to be mined per minute). They use a moderate amount of CPU, but their notable downside is that they increase the amount of CPU used by the mining lasers / strip miners / ice harvesters installed on your ship (commonly referred to a "CPU penalty"). For example (assuming no skills or other factors), a Strip Miner I normally requires 60 TF of CPU, but if you install a Mining Laser Upgrade I on your ship, it now requires 60 + 10% = 66 TF. You can mitigate this penalty by training the {{sk|Mining Upgrades}} skill, which reduces it by 5% per skill level.

Note that neither the yield increase nor the CPU penalty are subject to [[stacking penalties]]. Mining laser upgrades only affect ore mining yield~~; the corresponding modules for ice mining are called [[#~~ice harvester upgrades|ice ~~harvester upgrades]]~~.

Note that neither the yield increase nor the CPU penalty are subject to [[stacking penalties]]. Mining laser upgrades only affect ore mining yield and ice harvester upgrades only affect ice harvesters, but otherwise, these modules are nearly identical, and are therefore shown in a combined table below.

The meta 1-4 variants are progressive upgrades over the basic ~~Mining Laser Upgrade I~~, giving ever-higher mining yields and lower CPU penalties; the only downside to using them is their slightly higher CPU requirement. ~~The~~ tech 2 module is in all respects worse than the meta 4 module (especially the enormous 12.5% CPU penalty); however, ~~if your ship can handle it, it may be worth using, as~~ the higher-meta modules are often ~~horrendously~~ expensive.

The meta 1-4 variants are progressive upgrades over the basic meta 0 module, giving ever-higher mining yields (or reduced cycle times, for ice mining) and lower CPU penalties; the only downside to using them is their slightly higher CPU requirement.
