Mining and Silos

Miners or Resource Collectors are the backbone of every ship and the ants for every ship Captain to command. They gather the important Gas and Crystal resources in the Space Pirates game, and never tire. The only time they stop is when there are no resources to collect, or if they've collected the maximum amount that they can hold.

Gas Resource Collector
The Gas Resource Collector only collects the available Gas resources in the player's current resource field.

Crystal Resource Collector
The Crystal Resource Collector only collects the available Crystal resources in the player's current resource field.



All resource collectors start with a max Capacity of 500 units.

When the player upgrades the Resource Collectors the Max Capacity can increase. This is important as more resources will equal more weapons and other modules that the player can purchase and use.

Silos
Silos are where all Resources, collected by the player's Miners, are stored. If a silo is full the Resource Miner will continue to collect resources until it too becomes full.

Gas Silo
The Gas Silo only stores the collected Gas resources in the player's Gas Miner. It will only hold up to the Maximum capacity amount of Gas resource units.

Crystal Silo
The Crystal Silo only stores the collected Crystal resources in the player's Crystal Miner. It will only hold up to the Maximum capacity amount of Crystal resource units.



Both silo that has a Max Storage of 500 resource units.

Upgrading the Silos can allow the player to store a higher total amount of resource units. To help the players see this change, the Silos will physically change every time they are upgraded.
