⛏️ Mining & salvage
Read a scan signature at a glance, see where each ore and gem spawns, find wrecks to salvage and where to sell, and pick the best refinery for your ore.
Each refinery's yield bonus for each ore, in percent: greener is a bigger bonus, red a penalty, a gold ring the best place for that ore. Point at a column for the station's full name.

Refining methods
UEX rates each method one to three dots, so several can look the same. Measured figures from players' reported refining jobs show here once UEX has enough of them.

More dots: better yield, higher cost, faster. Green is the good end, gold the middle, red the bad end. Yields also depend on the ore and the refinery: see each refinery's bonus above. Pick a column heading to sort by it.
