How do supplies work in regards to mining ships. I have a lot of mining ships and they still seem to be taking resources from asteroids, but I notice they have no supplies and the components use supplies.

You do not need any supply to do remote-mining, but your ships will travel at a nice speed of 1 afterwards. But I don't suppose you will need them to travel until a very long time, and a base would likely replace them before their mining location is depleted.

Since the miners deplete the reources, If I have a surplus I remove them so that I am not wasting resources. Since I only need to move them off, or on, a movement of 1 is fine. Is the depletion rate 1% each turn or is it more If I have miners with a lot of high level components?.

1% per turn of any resource you mine, regardless of the amount you mine. So it's more effective if you use larger ships/bases and better equipment.

And it is more efficient if you only mine one resource at a time.

I've never used remote mining before. It's not a favorite of mine. I just stick to regular colonising. I colonize every planet from small size upwards. Seems to be enough for me.
But than again, I've only played two PBW games. I finished one (well, I was finished) and I had to drop the other one.
