Editing Population and Production (section)

=== Mining/Maintenance ===
{{screenshot|[[File:Economy-MiningMaintenance.png]]}}

There are two sections on this tab. The Mining Report shows what your mines are producing and the [[Minerals|mineral]] stockpile levels for the colony. Below the mineral report, the estimated requirement of each mineral type for Maintenance Facilities is listed, based on ships currently in orbit.

;Mining Report

The number of [[mine]]s and the annual production is shown above the table, moving your mouse over this area will show how the production is calculated. Table bellow show in detail the state of mining for each mineral type on the selected body including mineral quantity, [[Accessibility]], annual production, the number of years until depletion, current mineral stockpiles, Recent SP(Stockpile), recent related Mass Driver activity, projected mineral usage, and reserve level. The columns on the Mining Report are as follows:

* '''Mineral''': Name of the mineral
* '''Quantity''': Amount of the mineral (in tonnes) available on the body. Note that this is shared across all colonies that might be on the body.
* '''Accessibility''':  The ease of mining of the mineral, which determines its annual yield. As deposits are mined out, their accessibilities decrease, though there is a lower limit.
* '''Annual Production''': The amount in tons of the mineral produced per year, based on the total production of the colony’s mines multiplied by the accessibility of the mineral
* '''Years to depletion''': An estimate of the length of time the current quantity of mineral will last given current production. Note that this only takes into account mining from the currently selected population. Other populations mining on the same body will reduce this time.
* '''Stockpile''': The total amount of refined minerals available at this population
* '''Recent Stockpile''': The change in stockpile since the last 5-day increment. This shows whether the stockpile is rising or falling, based on mining production and the use of minerals by factories, shipyards, etc.
* '''Mass Driver''': The total amount of minerals delivered or dispatched by mass drivers since the last 5-day increment. 
* '''Stockpile plus Production''': An estimate of the stockpile in one year’s time, based on the current stockpile plus one year’s production
* '''Projected Usage''': The projected use of this mineral based on the queues for ordnance, fighters, construction, shipyard tasks, etc.

;Estimated Annual Requirements for Maintenance Facilities

The second section on this tab shows a list of all ship classes currently using the population's maintenance facilities (if any exist) and what minerals will be used over the course of a year in supporting these ships.

;Mass Driver Destination

If the body has at least one, complete [[Mass Driver]], the destination of that Driver can be set here. By setting that destination, this planet will automatically send mineral packets to that body. 

'''WARNING:''' If the designated body does not have a completed mass driver, mineral packets may cause damage and loss of life.
