In EVE Online, moon mining (also known as moon harvesting) is the process of extracting valuable moon materials (such as R64, R32, R16, R8, R4, and R0 ores) from moons using Upwell Moon Mining Drill Platforms or Athanor/Ansiblex structures. These materials are used in T2 production, capital ship construction, and reactions. How Moon Mining Works Moon Scanning & Surveying - Use a Survey Scanner or Core Scanner Probe to find moons with moon mining anomalies (visible as "Moon X" in the probe scanner). - Each moon has a unique composition of materials, with rarer materials (like R64) being more valuable. Claiming a Moon - A corporation/alliance must anchor a Upwell Moon Mining Drill Platform (large structure) or an Athanor (smaller, cheaper alternative) on the moon. - Requires fuel (Strontium Clathrates) and defenses to prevent enemy attacks. Extracting Moon Materials - The structure periodically generates chunks of moon ore in a moon mining beacon. - Players must mine these chunks manually using barges/exhumers (like the Covetor or Hulk) or Rorquals (for capital-scale mining). - The chunks despawn after 24 hours if not mined. Processing & Using Moon Materials - Moon ores must be refined (usually in an Athanor/Tatara for best yield). - Used in T2 production, capital components, and reactions (e.g., Technetium, Promethium). Moon Mining Mechanics (Post-2018 Changes) No more passive income: Moon mining is now active, requiring players to mine the chunks. Moon Goo Types: - R64 (Rare): Most valuable (e.g., Cobalt Chromite, Titanium Chromite). - R32/R16 (Uncommon): Used in T2 production. - R8/R4/R0 (Common): Lower value, used in basic reactions. Drill Platforms vs. Athanors: - Drill Platforms (large) have longer cycles (7 days) but higher yield. - Athanors (small) have shorter cycles (1 day) but less yield. Key Strategies Defense: Moons are often high-value targetsuse POS guns, Upwell structures, or alliance protection. Efficiency: Use boosts (Orca/Rorqual) and T2 crystals for better yield. Market Awareness: Prices fluctuatecheck EVE Marketer or Jita prices before selling. Best Ships for Moon Mining Barges: Covetor, Retriever, Procurer Exhumers: Hulk, Mackinaw, Skiff Capital Mining: Rorqual (with Excavator Drones) Risks PvP Threats: Gankers and rival corps often target moon miners. Structure Vulnerability: Unprotected drills can be destroyed. Market Volatility: Moon goo prices can crash if oversupplied.

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
