Salvagers

Salvagers function similarly to weapons, but without secondaries or effects. Salvage systems are used to mine ores from asteroids, and to salvage overheating shipwrecks and abandoned stations.

Setting Up a Salvager

Every weapon system consists of at least two block types:

1. Salvage Computer — The controller. Assign it to a hotbar slot. One per salvager system.
2. Salvage Beam Modules — The actual firepower. More modules = more power.
3. (Optional) Storage — Link a storage block to the salvage computer to have the mined blocks go to the storage instead of your limited personal inventory.

Scalar Mining

Larger groups of salvage modules can salvage multiple blocks at once. For each doubling of salvage modules in a group, the radius salvaged increases by 1, starting with a radius of 1 at 8 modules in a group, and scaling up to a radius of 10 at 4096 modules.
