The Complete Miner's Guide by Halada

6. Achieving perfection
There are many skills and modules that will increase your yield in this game. It is possible for a miner to max those skills and achieve what I like to call, "the Perfect Miner". A perfect miner is someone who has no other possibility to increase his yield. Here's a table with all skills and modules that can influence your yield.
| Skill/Item | Effect | Note |
| Mining V | + 25% to yield | |
| Astrogeology V | + 25% to yield | |
| Mining Barge V | + 15% to yield of barges and exhumers | |
| Exhumer V | + 15% to yield of exhumers | |
| Mining Foreman V | + 10% to yield | must be squadron commander for it to work |
| Drone Interfacing V | +100% to yield of mining drones | |
| Mining Drone Operation V | + 25% to yield of mining drones | |
| Crystals  T1 and T2 | +8,33% (T1) or +16,17% (T2) to yield | fit on T2 lasers only |
| Mining Laser Upgrades  T1, T2 and named |
+5% to yield per MLU, +9% for MLU2.Various named variants now available with different CPU penalty. | |
| HX-2 Highwall (slot 10) | + 5% to yield (requires Cybernetic V) | 100-250mil on escrow |
| Michi Excavation (slot 7) | + 5% to yield (requires Cybernetic V) | 350-500mil on escrow |
| Mining Foreman Mindlink (slot 10) | +50% to Foreman skill, +50% to Foreman Link effectiveness (requires Cybernetic V) |
must be squadron commander for it to work |
I deliberately did not list mining foreman links or gang modules, as they CANNOT be
fitted on a barge, nor battleship. Those gang modules will be covered in another section,
since there are many changes to gang bonuses since Revelations.
Mining Foreman V however is valid, since you can just form a squadron with an alt and
you both will receive the bonus, even if you are in a Hulk or a barge.
The mining implants do stack, however as you may have guessed, you cannot plug both
the Highwall mining implant and the Foreman mindlink at the same time.
The Michi implant is a COSMOS mission item, which explains why it is a little hard to find
and is more expensive. The Highwall implant is easier to come by and is a little more
affordable. Whether it's worth it for you to buy these or not, that's yours to decide.
