Prospecting is the extraction of resources using a specially designed Tractor beam that comes from Capella. These beams may be used on Stars, Planets, and Moons. Certain commodities will only spawn on certain types of solar bodies.

While Prospecting you may find: Tin, Copper, Laconia, Metals, Nuclear Waste, Silicon, Umbra, Bindomite, Silver, Adamantium, Petroleum, Alien Bacteria, Bacta, Eridium (Super Rare), Jelly Beans, Dark Matter, Energon, Rubicite, Warpwnium, Promethium Crystals,Frozen Blob,Ablution Crystals And Shrinkonium. You may also find helpful Nanites, types of Radiation for Subspace builds, as well as Osmium, Rhenium, and Indium.

Effective extraction speed will vary from that listed - Extraction Power increases extraction speed above that listed (such that higher Extraction Power Tractors function relatively more quickly than their listed extraction speed would indicate). This is separate and independent of the ramp up in speed experienced when a given commodity has been extracted for a given period of time.

Prospecting Tractors

Prospecting Tractors TL Size Extract Rate Extract Power Range Strength Rest Length Constant Energy/s Vis Weight Source Description Comment
Panning Beam 0 10 1 every 5 seconds 1.0 400 39 4 20 1,500 2,000 Capella - 20,000 Much like older prospecting methods, this is not the most efficient way to go about it.
Digging Beam 5 15 1 every 5 seconds 5.0 400 39 4 20 1,500 2,000 Capella - 200,000 Slightly better than panning but still not that great.
Drilling Beam 10 20 1 every 5 seconds 10.0 400 39 4 20 1,500 2,000 Capella - 2 million A standard prospecting beam.
Deep Core Drilling Beam 11 20 2 every 7 seconds 11.0 400 39 4 20 1,500 2,000 Deep Core Drilling Beam Blueprint Dig a little deeper.
Sensitive Drilling Beam 15 25 1 every 5 seconds 15.0 400 39 4 20 1,500 2,000 Capella - 20 million A lot more precise than your run of the mill drill.
Deeper Core Drilling Beam 16 25 3 every 9 seconds 16.0 400 39 4 20 1,500 2,000 Deeper Core Drilling Beam Blueprint Dig even deeper.
Precision Drilling Beam 20 30 1 every 5 seconds 20.0 400 39 4 20 1,500 2,000 Capella - 200 million A drilling beam of the utmost precision capable of locating and extracting even the most minute traces of ore.
Deepest Core Drilling Beam 20 30 4 every 11 seconds 20.0 400 39 4 20 1,500 2,000 Deepest Core Drilling Beam Blueprint Dig extremely deep.
Akara Sarga 20 30 5 every 10 seconds 20.0 500 49 4 20 1,500 2,000 Subspace drop A strange alien beam used to extract resources from asteroids.
