Title: Sorium Harvester

How do you get these to work on say a Comet that has sorium? Or do you just mine like usual and then pick up the sorium?

I believe they only function on gas giants.

And note that they automatically refine it into fuel, so they don't produce any raw sorium.

What I'd do is drop a couple automines on the comet, then let it complete a revolution around the star. Collect the automines and minerals.

Just drop a mass driver on there and forget about it :/

But you want to pick up the mines eventually.
