More per action
Better gathering modules raise the base amount collected by each action.
Resource flow
Gathering
Gathering output is driven by the equipped gathering module, then adjusted by any ship subtype gather bonus.
Overview
Node efficiency
Gatherer ships add a subtype yield bonus after the module roll.
Different sources
Asteroids and stars use the same Mining progression and module-driven yield.
Rules
Gathering targets
Gathering works on sector resources such as asteroids and stars. Each target can hold one or more resource entries with current and maximum quantities.
- Opening a gathering target creates a short lock for the player using it.
- The lock prevents another player from changing the same target at the same moment.
- The target list is refreshed after extraction so the sector data stays consistent.
- When no resource remains, the action returns the current state instead of spending more work.
- Module required
- A gathering module must be equipped.
- AP cost
- 1 per gather action.
Yield formula
The final amount starts from the equipped gathering module roll. Mining level still tracks progression and XP, but it no longer multiplies yield.
- Gathering modules define the base action yield: 1-15 at tier 1, then 15-point ranges up to 90-105 at tier 7.
- Ship subtype gather bonuses apply after the module roll; GATHERER currently adds 20%.
- Selective Harvest can target one scanned resource when the target has visible scan data.
- Corporation sector income can reserve a share before the player receives the rest.
- Formula
- module roll x ship subtype multiplier
- Selection
- Random by default, targeted with Selective Harvest after scanning.
