[STEAM] How to get a better Mining Laser in SpaceCraft

[Steam 0]

Mining is money in SpaceCraft, and you’ll have to upgrade your Mining Laser frequently to stay on top. Once you clear the initial contracts, you’ll need a better Mining Laser to source more complex metals. Unfortunately, things can be rather confusing in the beginning. This guide will help you figure out the complete process so that you don’t get stuck in the space.

Best Mining Laser combination to use in SpaceCraft

All ships in SpaceCraft come equipped with the Simple Mining Laser. This is a default option that doesn’t require any maintenance or upgrades. It has a heating-up mechanism, so you’ll occasionally need to give it some rest.

The Simple Mining Laser is ideal for all crude and simple metal depots. However, you can’t use it to mine complex items like Malachite, Azurite, and so on. For this, you’ll need the Overclocked Mining Laser. That said, there’s a problem if you only use the Overclocked Mining Laser.

• Red: Your selected laser can’t mine it.
• Yellow: Your selected laser is weak, but it will take longer to break down the node.
• White: Your selected laser is strong enough to break down the node efficiently.

You can choose your mining laser based on what type of mineral node you want to mine.
