My survey ship found the following on Mercury:
Duranium 1,219,297 (0.6)
Boronide 2,752,945 (0.9)
Sorium 2,672,571 (1)
Gallicite 262,554 (0.5) .
As I understand it, an asteroid mining ship only works on asteroids and would not work on Mercury. Is this correct?
As I understand it, the Sorium can be refined into fuel. Does a harvester only work on gas giants? Or could I send a harvester to Mercury?
Let's say I build automated mines and a mass driver for Mercury. Let's say the automated mine is built before the freighter is built. Would the automated mine be working on Earth before I ship it to Mercury?
After the colony is mined out, can one move the automated mines and mass driver somewhere else? Or are these sunk costs?
