# Mining

![](/files/mt7okXKb17qWCIPSllWG)

To ensure that the fleet and facilities have sufficient resources, in addition to seizing from other players, materials can also be mined from the Space Zone's resource mines. To exploit these mines, the player must send occupants and also own Miner Machines, which serve as reactors for the player's ships and structures. Each machine type has a unique mining capability and speed.
