Other than the fleets of AFK ice-mining Orcas, you really can’t AFK mine in high-sec nowadays. You don’t have enough capacity in most mining holds (forcing you to compress or jetcan), the rocks are quickly exhausted (forcing you to switch targets) and faster cycle times see you go through crystals much faster. ---

Depends on the definiton of “afk”. A Mackinaw that works with A-Type II crystals needs more than 11 minutes to fill it’s mining hold. With max-skills and max-boosts. If you target 1 roid per laser and another for the drones, roughly 25k m³ are harvested from the roids during that time, that will work not only in icebelts but also in most moon belts. So, while you can’t leave the game for _hours_ like with Orcas, you can mine on multiple accounts and watch videos, leave the room, do a workout, cook a meal or whatever you like while paying only absolutely minimal attention to the game once every ~10 minutes. My personal threshold is 1 player input action every 30 seconds, everything longer is basically “afk gameplay”. 10 minutes _definitely_ is. ---

> [@Syzygium](#): > > Depends on the definiton of “afk”. That it does. Your assessment is probably spot-on, although I suspect that if we’re talking high-sec mining that 11min will rarely be achievable (due to smaller rock size, etc.) In a small mining fleet I’ve rarely been able to achieve more than a few minutes away while mining “regular” belts (non-ice). Time enough to check the latest threads and waste most of it skipping through pointless comments and discussion… 🤣 [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/why-the-high-sec-mining-hate/516220.md?page=13) [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/why-the-high-sec-mining-hate/516220.md?page=15)
