Overview
Harvesting covers four gathering skills. Each skill has its own level, tool, resource, and dedicated page in the game. ## The four skills | Skill | Resource | Page | |-------|----------|------| | **Xeno Tracking** | Xeno | `/xeno-tracking` | | **Excavation** | Starstone | `/excavation` | | **Core Mining** | Neutronite | `/core-mining` | | **Xenobotany** | Glowvine | `/xenobotany` | Open any skill from **Harvest** in the main navigation. Only one harvesting skill (or battle) can be active at a time. ## How harvesting works 1. Open a harvesting page from **Harvest** in the navigation. 2. Press **Start** for that skill. 3. While harvesting is running, actions resolve automatically (see **Actions & Fatigue**). 4. Press **Stop** to end the session. Higher skill levels improve yields. Each skill also gains extra yield from your matching **base character stat** (Speed for Xeno Tracking, Health for Excavation, Defence for Core Mining, Strength for Xenobotany) on a soft curve up to +50%. ## Battle and stat synergy Your **battle level** helps harvesting (+10% yield per 100 battle levels). Your **base character stat** for that skill adds more on a soft curve (up to +50% at very high stats). Both are included in the **(+boost)** portion of each harvest tick, together with tool, credit/platinum resource, clan, VIP, and server bonuses. The number before the boost is your skill base for that action. ## Harvest drones **Harvest drones** gather one skill’s resource passively without spending actions. Deploy a 1-, 6-, or 12-hour run from a harvesting page, then **Dock** when it returns. Resource, component, and activity-mapped stat drops run at half of active harvesting; skill level and tools still apply. See **Harvest Drones** for efficiency, duration trade-offs, and which boosts help. ## Components Rare **components** sometimes drop while harvesting. Components are used for battle gear upgrades and other sinks. Check **Inventory** → Components. ## Related pages - [**X
