Mining and transport are two of the most important activities in Holosim. They allow you to gather raw resources and move them between bases to keep your fleets and crafting running.
Mining resources
-
Go to a starbase controlled by your faction: every starbase has its own available raw materials.
-
Check resources: click on the starbase and open the Details tab to see what can be mined there.
-
Undock your fleet: fleets must be undocked to start mining.
-
Start mining: select your fleet, click Start Mining, then confirm with Initiate Mining.
-
Monitor your cargo: resources are stored in your fleet’s cargo hold.
-
Stop mining when full: click your fleet, select Stop Mining, then dock at a base to unload your cargo.
Any ship can mine, but mining ships are more efficient and consume fewer supplies.
Transporting resources
-
Dock your fleet at a starbase with resources: load items from the base inventory into your fleet’s cargo.
-
Undock and set your destination: send your fleet to another faction-controlled starbase.
-
Dock at the destination: once arrived, dock your fleet.
-
Unload cargo: move the resources into the base inventory.
Any ship can transport cargo, though transport ships are designed for efficiency and larger loads.
