Signature Reference

Ship mining (Prospector / MOLE)

In ship mining the scan signature identifies the dominant mineral directly — one value, one mineral. Rocks additionally contain secondary minerals.

ROC & FPS mining (ground deposits)

For ground deposits the signature only indicates the size of the deposit — it does not identify the mineral. Each cluster is 100% one single mineral; which one depends on the location.

3000Small deposit (FPS / hand mining)

4000Large deposit (ROC / ground vehicle)

Possible ground deposit minerals

Note: signature 3000 is shared with capital wreck debris (890 Jump class) — context decides: planet surface = deposit, open space = debris.
