-To begin asteroid mining, simply create a ship with at least one mining module, create a mining colony on a suitable asteroid (via '''F9''' or through right click on the body within System View '''F3''') and move the ship there. On the summary page for the colony, a new entry, labeled ''Orbital Mines'' will appear.
-== Asteroid Mining Strategies ==
-Depending on what ships you have constructed, there are a number of ways to exploit asteroid mining.
-*Use pure mining ships to extract minerals and then collect the ores with freighters
-*Use mining ships with enough cargo capacity to take away the minerals once the asteroid begins to deplete.
-*Use larger mining ships with enough cargo capacity to move a [[mass driver]], a few mining ships can then use their mass drivers to move mining output to a single location with a system for easy collection.
