Prepare your equipment
Hand mining needs a mining tool and a hand-mining battery. Batteries for an unmanned miner are not interchangeable with hand-mining batteries. Leave bag space for ore.
Mine in Crag Mine
Move into a mining area in Crag Mine and start mining with the tool equipped. Access to restricted deposits depends on the Chip War state and your mining eligibility; winning the war does not remove every individual requirement.
Process and collect the results
Take ore to the ore-processing NPC. Processing costs race currency and produces resources according to the ore type. Collect the results into your bag or sell them through the processing window before ending the session.
