Mining Tips

Endurium Hunting: Found at ancient ruins. Mine at moderate altitude (between water and mountains). Ruins appear consistently - travel in one direction to find more.
Respawn Exploit: Minerals restock when you leave orbit. Find a 9.0+ CM endurium deposit, collect it, leave orbit, re-enter and land at the same spot to collect again!
Terrain: Mountainous areas have more minerals. Avoid waterline - nothing spawns too close to it.
