Mining, crafting and shopping data for Stanton, Pyro and Nyx
Pick your ship, lasers, modules and gadget, then type in what your scanner says about the rock. You'll see straight away whether you can fracture it.
Example rock loaded. Replace it with your own scan.
Every number here comes from the game's own data files. The in-game item descriptions are out of date for laser power. For example, the Helix I's text says 3150 but the item actually delivers 3900. This page uses the real values.
A rock loses energy at decayPerMass × mass per second ( in the ship-mining settings). Each laser puts energy in at power × (1 − resistance). If you put energy in faster than the rock loses it, the charge climbs into the window and the rock cracks.
The check only covers power against resistance. It does not model instability or how hard it is to hold the charge window. A "cracks" verdict means you have the power to do it, not that it will be easy.
Where each ore spawns, read from the game's spawn tables. Pick an ore to see where it's most common, or pick a place to see what you'll find there.
Every crafting blueprint in the game files. Pick one to see what it costs, where to mine or buy each material, and how to unlock the blueprint.
Find where to buy or sell any item or commodity, cheapest first.
