Surface Excavation

This article is a stub. You can help Elite Dangerous Wiki by expanding it.

A Surface Excavation is a type of Point of Interest that can be detected from orbit and accessed while On Foot or in a SRV.

A Surface Excavation site consists of several Automated Mining Extractors. These extractors can be scanned with a Data Link Scanner to show their content (e.g. Gold, Silver, Indite...). Shooting an Extractor releases a "Mining Fragment", which can be collected with the SRV. The fragments show up in the inventory as a ton of the specific commodity (e.g. Gold, Silver, Indite...)
