Minging Pack 9

Hello all,
While going through the tutorial on the site I got to Pack 9 Mining and I don't understand the statement :  "Mines come in various types – surface mines are very easy to set up, jut put the mining equipment in a ‘mineral rich’ location in your region and off you go!", I owe the region and grid and have never ran across anything that mentions That above.

Can someone help me out here, I have Living rocks that are starving

Thanks Nogar

basically you just choose an area of the region and put down the mine(s) creating an area that is rich in resources. I hope that helps.

Tks
