How to Use Mining Drone in Pixel Starships

If you're an avid player of Pixel Starships, you know how crucial resources are for your progress in the game. One of the most efficient ways to extract resources is by using a mining drone. In this guide, we will take you through all the steps to use a mining drone like a pro.

To use a mining drone, you must first find a planet with a mining mission. You can find such planets by checking your galaxy map. Look for planets that offer iron or gold mining missions.

Once you find a planet with a mining mission, complete the mission to unlock access to the mining site. Completing the mission will also give you an idea of what to expect at the mining site.

Once you reach the mining site, it's time to deploy your mining drone. Click on the "Deploy" button and choose your mining drone from the list of available drones. Your drone will then start working to extract resources.

If you are lucky enough to find an excellent spot, you can get another drone by using just one. This means that you can extract resources at an even faster rate. However, keep in mind that deploying multiple drones can be expensive, so make sure you have enough resources to cover the cost.

After deploying your drone, the system/mission will show a timer indicating when resources can be collected. This timer usually takes around 12 hours to complete. So, be patient and let your drone do its job.

You can check the status of your drone by clicking on it and looking at the progress bar. The progress bar shows how much resources have been collected and how much time is left until the timer is up.

After the timer is up, it's time to collect your resources. Return to the drop spot where you deployed your drone and click on "Collect" to retrieve all the mined resources.

Remember that as your level increases, so does the number of mines available for access. Look near Sol and go top for better results.

Now that you know the basics of using a mining drone, here are some tips to help you optimize your resource collection:

Different drones have different capabilities and costs. Some drones are more efficient than others, and some are more expensive to deploy. Make sure you choose the right drone for the job.

You can upgrade your drone using resources and credits. Upgrading your drone increases its efficiency and reduces the time it takes to extract resources.

Before deploying your drone, make sure you check the mission requirements. Some missions require a specific type of drone or a certain level of drone upgrade.

Make sure you have enough resources to cover the cost of deploying and upgrading your drone. Plan ahead and prioritize your resource allocation to maximize your resource collection.

Resource collection takes time, so be patient and let your drone do its job. Don't rush to collect resources before the timer is up, as you will only collect a fraction of the resources available.
