- Always mine in a peaceful faction to ensure safety from players.
- Always make sure your faction has strong allies.
- Don't mine at the Mega Base during a War.
- When War is declared, quickly turn back to the closest base and despawn.
Safety
- Don't mine near Aliens or Pirates, and dock if one starts coming closer.
- Never mine at War unless your Warehouse is level one.
- If Mining at War, check the Minimap every 30 seconds; however, it can be very foolish to insist on mining during a War.
