Some locations specialise in a mineral, offering it in larger quantity and hosting at least one [vein](/wiki/crafting-guides/gathering-resources) of that type. Veins are best mined in groups of 5+ — each extra miner adds a yield bonus — and are slow, low-yield solo. For how mining itself works, see Mining.
