EDFM // Mining

An abrasion blaster breaks visible surface deposits from asteroids.

Draft

This article is still being written and may be incomplete.

Uncertain: Exact per-variant outfitting statistics and deposit behavior still need direct Live-game verification.

The Abrasion Blaster is used to dislodge visible surface deposits from an asteroid. It is commonly carried for core mining, where a cracked asteroid exposes deposits that must be knocked loose before collection.

Draft: This article is still a work in progress and may be incomplete. You can help improve it by adding or expanding its content.

Mining role

Mining role
Breaks exposed surface deposits from an asteroid.
Used by
Notes
Often carried with a seismic charge launcher because cracked core asteroids expose deposits.

The abrasion blaster supports Surface Deposit Mining directly and often follows a successful core detonation. It does not replace a mining laser for ordinary fragments and does not collect anything by itself; collectors and a refinery still complete the loop.

  • How to Core Mine (Draft) — Identify core asteroids, place seismic charges, crack the asteroid safely, and collect exposed deposits.
  • How to Mine Surface Deposits (Draft) — Break surface deposits from asteroids with an abrasion blaster and collect the resulting materials or commodities.
