Extract and deliver ore contract

[Yamiko Hikari]

In career mode I got a pretty big contract which offers me 1 mln credits for 3000 units of ore from Minmus but I don't yet have the technology to mine and store ore. I wonder if I will temporarily receive ore tanks and drills if I accept this. Does anybody know? I know that "test some rocket part" contracts give you the required part if you don't already have it so maybe here it's the same case. I don't dare check it myself cause failing the contract in case they don't give me drills and tanks will be extremely detrimental

Those contracts will not unlock the ore drilling parts, sorry. But even if you do accept, they usually have pretty long time periods in which to carry out the task so it's not unlikely that you will develop the tech before time runs out.

Personally, I wouldn't accept any ore drilling contracts unless I already had a plan to set up a mining base on that world, and I never accept the ones that ask me to transport it back to Kerbin. Although, I've also never noticed a reward of 1,000,000 funds before either. And Minmus is the easiest target for a contract like that.

Thank you for answering! I'm not sure how rare such contracts are but this one was "exceptional" so I guess I won't be seeing such one in the nearest future in this save  (I ended up not accepting it at all)
