How to Mine & Get Materials in Star Trek Fleet Command

Recommended Videos

You’ll need to gather plenty of resources if you want to upgrade your facilities, among other things. Mining is one of the best ways to gather new materials, particularly crystals and ore. If you don’t know how to do it, here’s how to mine and get materials in Star Trek Fleet Command.

As with most games, mining is usually the best way to gather precious minerals and other shiny rocks. There are tons of different crystals and ores to collect, and you can actually produce tritanium and dilithium at your station. However, you will need to send out your fleet to collect the other materials.

How to Mine

Once you begin to upgrade your ships, you’ll be able to send them out towards high-level systems. It’s here where you can find special areas that allow you to mine certain materials, depending on where you’re getting them from in Star Trek Fleet Command.

What you’ll want to do is head over to the Galaxy screen by pressing it on the lower right side of your screen. From there, zoom in and set a course to some of the more high-leveled systems. Their level is indicated by the number next to the system name, such as Entrunar [1], with one being the required warp level to access the area in Star Trek Fleet Command.

Once you’ve entered a system, you can set a course for nodes that will let you salvage these materials. You’ll have to search each node manually as there doesn’t seem to be any specific mining areas in Star Trek Fleet Command.

Here are some systems and their respective materials to help you get started in Star Trek Fleet Command:

  • Obilent – Raw Ore
  • Citi Laga – Tritanium
  • Bellas – Raw Crystal
  • Rigel – Dilithium Mine

If your warp level isn’t high enough, you can raise it by leveling your warp engine. To do this, you’ll need explorer or battleship parts which come from completing missions, events, fighting enemies, and drops from loot boxes in Star Trek Fleet Command.

That’s pretty much everything you need to know about how to mine and get materials in Star Trek Fleet Command. For more tips and tricks on the game, be sure to search for Twinfinite. Here’s how to move your station, if you don’t know how to already.
