Orbital Auto Miner (OAM)

The **Orbital Auto Miner** (OAM) is a custom HWS feature designed to streamline gameplay by reducing the need for manual resource mining. It helps late-game players focus on PvP and allows new players to accelerate progression.

:pushpin: What is the OAM?

The OAM allows you to autonomously mine resources via the HWS website—no need for in-game mining or placing Tier 1–3 Auto Miners.

  • Free Level 1 OAM: Start mining right away—just fuel it with Auto Miner Cores.
  • Resource Collection: Collect ores for free in EGS Zones, or pay a fee to retrieve them elsewhere.
  • Upgrades: Use commands like **am:buy:gold** to buy or upgrade your Auto Miners.

Use HWS Connect or the AM:Get command to retrieve ores.

:battery: Fueling Your OAM

Each OAM requires:
1 x AM Core image per resource per day.

  • After fueling, the “AutoMiner” counter may show 0, but mining still continues for 24 hours.

Using the Web Interface

Click the yellow square next to the ore type and enter how many cores to use.

Example:

  • 3x Level 5 OAMs + 1x Level 10 OAM
  • → Requires 4 AM Cores per day

:magnifying_glass_tilted_right: Where to Get AM Cores:

  • Found in POIs
  • Bought from HWS Traders or HWS Marketplace
  • Rewards in some PDA missions/quests

:package: Retrieving Mined Ore

To retrieve ore for free, you must be inside an EGS Zone! The main EGS Zone is located in the ECC planet’s HQ lobby.

How to Check If You’re in the EGS Zone

Look up at the ceiling in the ECC HQ main lobby to confirm.
