To mine, pilots require three optional internal modules: a [[Cargo Scoop|cargo scoop]] to collect chunks, a [[Refinery]] to refine collected resources onboard into [[Commodities]] for sale, one or more [[Cargo Rack]]s to carry the refined Commodities, and 1 or more [[Mining Laser]]s, [[Abrasion Blaster]]s, [[Sub-surface Displacement Missile]]s, or [[Seismic Charge Launcher]]s. The [[Detailed Surface Scanner]], [[Limpet Controller/Prospector|Prospector Limpet]], and [[Pulse Wave Analyser]] can be equipped to more easily locate ideal mining sites and valuable asteroids. The [[Limpet Controller/Collector|Collector Limpet]] more efficiently gather raw resource chunks. Refineries have temporary bins that will store a refined product (after you've scooped it). Once each respective bin reaches 100%, the bin contents will then be automatically transferred to your cargo hold as a unit of 1, at which point it can be sold at a [[station]] or [[settlement]]. Rig mining requires the [[Rhino]] with a [[Mining Rig]].

Mining in a [[Planetary Ring System|planetary ring]] andor asteroid belt involves finding rocky and icy fragments that originated from shattered [[asteroids]], [[Comet|comets]], or [[moons]]. This involves five processes:
