To mine on Ceres, the pilot must have at least one (1) [[Mining Grenade]] and one (1) [[Energy Processor & Power|Energy]] in their ship. When combined, the pilot's ship's energy powers the mining system, sending the grenade to the bottom of the shaft. Once detonated, the mining system then retrieves whatever items were revealed in the explosion. The pilot has the option to claim the items and store them in their ship (as cargo space allows), or reject the items. | To mine on Ceres, the pilot must have at least one (1) [[Mining Grenade]] and one (1) [[Energy Processor & Power|Energy]] in their ship.

Ceres has five (5) regions that make up its crust in addition to a Rhodium and Platinum core. Once the core is reached, pilot miners will be able to mine the valuable metals that make up Ceres' core. Once all metal accessible from that mining shaft have been depleted, a new shaft will need to be dug. | Ceres has five (5) regions that make up its crust in addition to a Rhodium and Platinum core.
