The benefits of them are:

* they mine 24/7 "virtually" if you fuel them
* they store your mined Ores even throughout a server wipe
* they are not immersion breaking after a 1+ year test phase on HWS. Especially with our decision to use Auto Miner Cores for them to fuel
* it is fully optional if you want to use them or not
* they help you especially in lategame or in "stuck" situation

So the details are:

Ingame chat commands:

am:? Provides you with useful information regarding the Auto Miner.
am:info Displays your current fuel level and shows how to view your current miner levels and resources
am:buy:IR Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Iron Ore
am:buy:COP Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Copper Ore
am:buy:COB Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Cobalt Ore
am:buy:MA Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Magnesium Ore
am:buy: pR Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Promethium Ore
am:buy:NEO Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Neodymium Ore
am:buy:SI Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Silicion Ore
am:buy:SA Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Sathium Ore
am:buy:ERE Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Erestrum Ore
am:buy:ZAS Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Zascosium Ore
am:buy:BC Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Blue Crystal
am:buy:GO Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Gold Ore
am:sell:ORE Allows you to sell or downgrade a specific Auto Miner where ORE stands for the one you have.
am:get:ORE*AMOUNT or am:get:ORE*Amount#ORE*Amount#... Allows you to get a specific amount of one of your mined resources or even more individually.
am:get:all Allows you to recover all mined resources at once. (Make sure you have inventory space).
am:fuel:Resource/All:Amount/All Allows you to fuel all mined resources at once or fuels up your Auto Miner with an amount of fuel from your inventory for specific resources if you want.

Example 1: am:fuel:iron:all -> fuels up only your iron auto miner with all Auto Miner Cores your have in your inventory

Example 2: am:fuel:iron:7 -> fuel up only your iron auto miner with 7 Auto Miner Cores from your inventory (if you have them)

Example 3: am:fuel:all:7 -> fuels up all of your resources in your auto miner with 7 Auto Miner Cores from your inventory (if you have them)

Example 4: am:fuel:all:all -> fuels up all of your resources in your auto miner with all Auto Miner Cores from your inventory (if you have them). It will split equally along all of your resources. So if you have 10 resource auto miners and 20 Auto Miner Cores in your inventory each resource would get 2 Auto Miner Cores.

Attention: if you have 10 resource auto mineres and 21 Auto Miner Cores then 2 would go in each resource type but the last am core would go to the resource type you bought first.


Auto Miner Production
That list shows you how much you gain per AM Level.
Rare resources give less than common resources.
Common resources: Iron, Silicon, Copper, Cobalt, Sathium, Promethium
Rare resources: Gold, Pentaxid, Erestrum, Zascosium, Neodymium, Magnesium

Upgrade level 1 - 5 (1 rare resources) / hour; Price = Free
Upgrade level 2 - 10 (2 rare resources) / hour; Price = 40k CR
Upgrade level 3 - 15 (3 rare resources) / hour; Price = 60k CR
Upgrade level 4 - 20 (3 rare resources) / hour; Price = 80k CR
Upgrade level 5 - 30 (5 rare resources) / hour; Price = 100k CR
Upgrade level 6 - 35 (6 rare resources) / hour; Price = 120k CR
Upgrade level 7 - 40 (7 rare resources) / hour; Price = 140k CR
Upgrade level 8 - 50 (8 rare resources) / hour; Price = 160k CR
Upgrade level 9 - 100 (17 rare resources) / hour; Price = 180k CR
Upgrade level 10 - 150 (25 rare resources) / hour; Price = 200k CR

Auto Miner Cargo
The follow list shows you how much max Ore the Auto Miner can store per level:

Upgrade level 1 - 300 Max Ores
Upgrade level 2 - 600 Max Ores
Upgrade level 3 - 750 Max Ores
Upgrade level 4 - 1200 Max Ores
Upgrade level 5 - 1650 Max Ores
Upgrade level 6 - 1950 Max Ores
Upgrade level 7 - 2400 Max Ores
Upgrade level 8 - 3000 Max Ores
Upgrade level 9 - 6000 Max Ores
Upgrade level 10 - 9000 Max Ores

If you do not have enough Auto Miner Cores to run all of your miners, or run out of space in your AM, your AM will no longer produce ore.

Auto Miner Fuel

1 x AM Core per OAM per 3 days, flat. (No level graduation)

Example:

you have 3 level 5 OAMS and one level 10 OAM. >> it will cost you 4 AM Cores every 3 days to keep them running.
you have 7 level 10 OAMs >> it will cost you 7 AM Cores every 3 days to keep them running.

Look for AM Cores in POI’s, Instances and Missions soon.
