The Basic Mining Unit S produces 50% of the output of a Basic Mining Unit L**.** Early game, S units are cheaper, and using more of them can match the output of an L unit.
| Description | |
|---|---|
| Base Rate | The amount of Ore being mined from the territory ore pool, without any bonuses applied. |
| Efficiency | The efficiency is a bonus applied to the Base Rate. It is affected by talent points (e.g. Mining Unit Manager) and calibration. 350% is the maximum. |
| Adjacency | A bonus applied for each adjacent territory that you own. 60% is maximum. |
| Calibration | Always 100% except when the mining unit is deployed from a blueprint. If deployed from a blueprint either pickup and replace the mining unit or calibrate it once. |
| Optimal | This shows how much of a mining unit’s capacity you’re using**.** For example, with max skills, a Basic Mining Unit L can mine 350L from the territory ore pool (100% efficiency). If it only mines 175L, that’s 50% efficiency. |
| Charges | Calibration charges that you regain over time. These can be optionally used to spawn ore that you mine with the Harvest Tool. |
Haven and Sanctuary are designed to be a place for new players to have some territory without any weekly tax upkeep and as such have smaller ore pools than all other planets and moons.

| Ore Tier | Ore | Max Litres per Hour |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bauxite | |
