A mine removes the resources contained within a plot for you to use or sale. The higher the [[survey]] concentration is, the better the production once you are finished building. A plot that has trace as a survey value will often not be worth the effort to build on.
Refineries are much more efficient converting [[Fuel_Ore|fuel ore]] to [[Refined_Fuel|refined fuel]].
===Mining Basics===
* Extraction
** Ore is the raw material that is extracted from the ground and heads to separation
* Separation
** This is the process where the raw ore that was extracted is separated into 4 buckets
*** Grade A - these are rare materials like precious metals or gems
*** Grade C - these are common materials like iron, aluminum, or silicon
*** Fuel Ore - contains fuel which can be further refined to produce [[Iagreous]]
*** Tailings - worthless waste material byproduct but limited to 33,000 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonne MT]
* Obliteration
** Uses a fusion process to remove tailings from accumulating and produce electrical power
