How To Play
Core gameplay systems covering ship deployment, resource acquisition, refining, and production within the player-driven economy.
Asteroid Mining
Asteroid mining is the primary method of obtaining raw materials in Far From Home. Players must first transfer an industrial-class ship to the Hangar. Once transfered, the ship becomes available for deployment via the Star Map interface.
Industrial Ships
From the Star Map, players can select a destination sector and initiate a warp jump using FTL fuel. Upon arrival, the ship enters the sector’s resource zone, where asteroid fields become visible.
Each sector contains a unique distribution of asteroids. Scanning reveals the available targets, which vary by category and composition. Asteroids may contain composite ores or compound ices - materials required for advanced production.
Asteroid CategoriesAfter selecting a target, the ship uses STL propulsion to approach and engage the asteroid. The extraction rate and efficiency depend on ship class, extractor type, and asteroid resistance.
Industrial Production
Industrial production transforms raw materials into usable components, fuel, and construction parts. This process begins after a successful mining expedition, once extracted resources are returned to a station with active refining and manufacturing facilities.
ProductionShip Customization
Ship customization allows players to modify and enhance the capabilities of industrial vessels using modular components. Each industrial-class ship supports a range of upgrade slots based on its tech tier and hull class.
