			== When to use surface deposit mining ==

			Surface deposit mining is used when a deposit is visible and targetable on the asteroid surface. The most common teaching context is core mining: after a successful detonation, the cracked asteroid exposes deposits that must be broken free before collectors can recover them.

			It can also appear as a targeted deposit task. In either case, the commander should treat the abrasion blaster as a precision extraction tool, not as a general mining laser.

	== Equipment ==		== Equipment ==

	A surface-deposit setup needs ~~an abrasion blaster~~, ~~collector limpets, a refinery~~, limpets~~, and cargo space~~. ~~A prospector limpet~~ helps identify asteroid contents~~, while a pulse wave analyser is~~ useful when searching for core-style targets.		A surface-deposit setup needs:

			* [[Abrasion Blaster]] — dislodges the visible deposit.
			* [[Collector Limpet Controller]] — retrieves the released material.
			* [[Refinery]], cargo space, and limpets.
			* [[Prospector Limpet Controller]] — helps identify asteroid contents.
			* [[Pulse Wave Analyser]] — useful when searching for core-style targets that may expose deposits.

			== Practical notes ==

			* If a core asteroid has just been cracked, look for remaining exposed deposits before leaving.
			* Deposits have to be targeted and struck cleanly; spraying the rock like a laser-mining asteroid is inefficient.
			* The technique depends on collectors and refinery space just like the other mining methods.
