Strategy notes
Surveyed deposits, stable foundations and a completed local grid support deeper extraction. Core Mine construction is unlocked by Continental Power Exchange and requires 5,000 population. Raw effect deltas: +0.6% common mineral recovery, +0.6% rare mineral recovery, +0.24% fuel recovery, +1.2% construction output, +0.36% trade, -1.8% common mineral capital cost, -1.2% rare mineral capital cost. Existing consumers and combined-effect bounds apply. Fixed extraction infrastructure remains exposed to raiding and supply shortages.
Player hints
Complete every prerequisite before adding research progress. Surveyed deposits, stable foundations and a completed local grid support deeper extraction. Core Mine construction is unlocked by Continental Power Exchange and requires 5,000 population. Passive modifiers retain their existing global scope; local mining modes affect only Ground, Core and Asteroid Mines.
