Applies to SSOR, voxel deposits and resource asteroids

To find an underground deposit or asteroid:
- Use your manual or vessel-based Detector to ping the area. Check for < Resource > markers and go closer than 300m or ping again to 'discover' it permanently
- Each vessel has a small default scanning range as well. You do not need to ping a detector in this range.
- The same applies to handheld drills and the survival tool and equipping one of these will show the location and type of the deposit.

Get any manual drill or use the survival tool. Hit RMB and switch to the appropriate mining mode.

Point at the ground (you'll see the drilling sphere as a blue outline) and start drilling down.

Tips:
- Use your Personal Drone (F5) for handheld Drill mining. This avoids being trapped in a mined-out hole. The drone has a range of 60m and will teleport the ore directly into your inventory.
- Park a vessel nearby and use the Logistics Network to connect to a container, mined ore and rock will go directly into it.

Vessel drills work the same as handheld drills, except they are fired from the pilot seat.
You can also equip drill turrets for vessels.

Note:
For vessel-based mining make sure you have your vessel equipped with a 'Container Controller (Ore and Wood)' and an appropriate amount of 'Container Extensions' to hold the ore - otherwise the drilled materials will drop on the ground or be ejected into space and float away.

Autominers can be placed on SSOR or voxel deposits. They need to be powered and you need to pick up the ore from their internal containers.

Tip: Use the connected toolbar for transferring large quantities of heavy/voluminous ore to a nearby vessel.
