Trust us, success in this mission is not complicated, even if it may seem challenging at first. Indeed, I can assist you with that. You are looking for guidance on completing the mining mission in your game.

How To Use Mining Drone In Pixel Starships

Based on your information, you already have the mining drone and have identified the task you must meet. To proceed further, you must locate a planet that offers a mission related to iron [iron mining] or gold [gold prospecting] mining.

You can deploy the drone once you find the planet and complete the mission. I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any further questions.

To play a mining mission, find a system and initiate the mission. You will be asked whether the spot is good or not. If you say yes, you rarely encounter a battle, but you will usually be prompted to deploy a drone. By clicking on it, you will use one drone and gain another drone.

The system/mission will have a timer showing when you can collect the resources from the mining, usually around 12 hours. You can keep deploying mining drones and getting fragments of minerals by revisiting the planet and other mines daily.

Tip: The number of mines you can access depends on your level. Those at level 8 and below are on the top, so look near Sol and go top.

  1. Locate a Mining Mission:
    • On your galaxy map, look for a mission called “Mining 101” (you likely already have this mission since you have the mining drone).
    • This mission will lead you to a specific planet system.
  2. Find a Suitable Planet:
    • Once you’re in the designated system, search for a mission titled something like “Iron Mining” or “Gold Prospecting.”
    • Click on the exclamation point associated with that mission.
  3. Deploy the Drone:
    • The mission dialogue will give you an option to deploy the mining drone.
    • Confirm the deployment and wait for the drone to complete its task.
  4. Collect Resources:
    • After the timer finishes, return to the spot where you dropped the drone.
    • Click on “Collect” to retrieve the mined resources.

Remember that you need a free drone to use for mining missions. Keep an eye out for the mining drone icon on your Galaxy map to track where your drone is deployed. Happy mining!
