Extract surface fragments from asteroids with mining lasers, collect them with limpets, and refine useful commodities.
This procedure is planned as part of the Mining section build. It will provide a practical checklist for the task described above, with equipment requirements, ordered steps, checks, and common problems once the underlying mining reference pages are in place.
