Solar Panels behave exactly like Mining Towers, but they collect energy instead of resources from the ground. They must be placed in range of a nearby sun. If so, energy items are produced, which can be processed to Powerblocks in the Foundry. | Solar Panels behave exactly like Mining Towers, but they collect energy instead of resources from the ground.

Dig Blocks
Any block you find on the map (with a few exceptions) can be erased and reused by a construction ship. To do so, get a ship with the building capability (ICON OF BUILD CAPABILITY) close to a block and switch to build mode. Erase the block. It will transform into a collectable item:

Inside a certain range, the ship will automatically pick up collectable items. If the ship does not collect your block, you need to move it closer to the item. As soon as the ship collected the block, it is fully available as a block, which you can move/trade/build.
Crystal
Crystal can be found on the upside of asteroids.
IMAGE OF CRYSTAL FIELD
There are four colours of crystal: blue, green, violet, and orange. Crystal can be used to process it in the foundry. Each colour results in a different Ship Core type in the processing. Ship Cores are required to build ships.
Crystal can be harvested. You need a ship with the harvesting capability (ICON OF HARVEST CAP) and at least one loading slot. Move that ship over the crystal field, it will automatically start harvesting, as soon as it is in range.

Mining Towers / Solar Panels
Mining Towers ...
Solar Panels behave exactly like Mining Towers, but they collect energy instead of resources from the ground. They must be placed in range of a nearby sun. If so, energy items are produced, which can be processed to Powerblocks in the Foundry.
