Upon landing on your home planet, you will be presented with a menu title by
the name of your race, along with the words "HOME WORLD."  This menu is the
main home world menu and  allows you complete access to the mineral silos on
the planet.  Although the ability to remove minerals from the planet silos is
an option here, you will rarely use that.  99% of the time you will use the +
button directly left of each mineral name to increase the amount of the
respective mineral.

In addition, this menu also grants access to the missile stores on your home
world where you can reload empty cargo spaces with any available missiles to
use in combat.  Directly below the MISSILE STORES section is the PLANETARY
EQUIPMENT section.  Under this heading, you can remove mining equipment and
defense shields, placing them in empty cargo holds for transport to another
planet.

Select the FACTORIES button to enter your home planets factories, where you can
build new ships and new components for those ships.  The REPAIRS button takes
you to the rebuilding station where your ship's damaged systems can be
repaired.

To leave the planet's surface, select LIFT-OFF.
