Salvage Systems

A salvage system is a fundamental part of any mining ship. It can harvest ore from asteroids and planets, and collect scrap from overheating ships or decayed stations. It is created by linking a Salvage Computer to one or more Salvage Modules, as well as to one or more Storage blocks in order to store mined items (they go to your inventory otherwise).

Fleet usage

If a fleet is given the Mine this Sector command, the ships are capable of mining, and there are asteroids in the sector, the fleet will begin using their salvage systems to mine all asteroids in the sector.

Limitations

There are a few limits. For one, Turrets operated with a BOBBY AI Module won’t make use of salvage systems. Also, fleets given the Mine this Sector command will only target asteroids, ignoring planets, decayed stations, or overheating ships. These must be mined/salvaged by the player.
