The '''mining rig''' is an autonomous robotic installation to unearth resources on [[planets]].<ref>[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/rhino-available-now-arx-early-access Rhino – Available Now Via ARX Early Access] - 2 Sep 2026 - Elite Dangerous</ref> The rigs [[Miner|mine]] autonomously until they are full of [[Raw Materials|raw materials]]. The rig is collected by the Rhino for further processing the materials with the [[refinery]] module. They must be manually emptied by the [[commander]] to resume mining.

The mining rig comes pre-installed with the Rhino. Up to 12 mining rigs are available on the Rhino. Only 6 mining rigs can be deployed simultaneously. Their replenishment in the field is available through [[synthesis]]. The number is displayed on the left side of the Rhino's HUD when choosing a hatch to release the rig.

== Use and interact ==

The deployment of the mining rig occurs with the Rhino. To deploy it, you must first use the [[Detailed Surface Scanner|detailed surface scanner]] to detect planetary mining deposits. They will be illuminated with a purple area, after which it is necessary to drive up to the deposit area and use the secondary fire control to deploy via the mining rig hatch. The mining rig is not installed immediately after a short press — to deploy it, you need to hold down the appropriate button or key. Once the rig has been installed, you must drive away from the installation site in order for the rig to be activated. Several rigs can be installed in one deposit zone, but the rigs are installed at a certain distance from each other which limits the simultaneous number per zone. However, rigs can be installed in different planetary mining deposit zones to increase material extraction.

After installing and activating the mining rig, it will appear on the Rhino's HUD above the target information screen and begins to work immediately. The rig fills its internal storage with up to 12 units. When the storage is full, you need to select the mining rig as a target and, through the left menu on the «Contacts» tab, select the mining rig itself and go to the interaction menu to select «''Prepare for mineral collection''», after which the installation will fold up. Then drive above the rig so that it's located under the Rhino. Then transfer the materials from the mining rig to the Rhino and the refinery will begin. If it is necessary to mine further, then you can simply drive away from the rig.

To install the rig, you must select the mining rig as a target and, via the left menu on the «Contacts» tab, select the mining rig itself and go to the interaction menu to select «''Prepare for installation reception''», after which the rig will fold and ready to be lifted aboard the Rhino. It is also enough to drive over the rig so that it's underneath the Rhino.

If the rigs are running and you leave [[instance]] area with your [[Ships|ship]] then all rigs will self-destruct. The same effect occurs when the game session is interrupted. So you cannot leave the area and return to collect the materials at a different time. You can replenish your stock of mining rigs through [[synthesis]].

On one side of the mining rig is a charging port for manual calibration. You can activate it by approaching the mining rig [[On Foot|on foot]] and calibrate it by using the [[Energy Link]].
