They typically also include a Luxury Resource Extractor as luxury resources can occur at any body.
 * Mining Stations are built at rocky bodies like asteroids or Barren moons or planets, and require a Mining Engine to harvest various minerals.
 * Gas Mining Stations are built at gaseous bodies, including Gas Giants and Gas Clouds, and need a Gas Extractor to collect available gases.
