A Miner is a type of resource extractor that automatically extracts solid resources when built or placed on top of a resource node. There are 4 types of miners available: Portable Miner, Miner Mk.1, Miner Mk.2 and Miner Mk.3.

Portable Miner (see below) is an equipment that has to be held in the hand slot in order to be placed on a resource node. Multiple Portable Miners can be placed on the same node, as long as there is space for them.

Miner buildings (mark 1 to 3) are constructed with the Build Gun instead. Only one Miner building can be built on a resource node, and the resource node must be free of obstruction caused by resource deposit or crackable boulders. Miner buildings require power to operate. They output mined resources to a connected Conveyor Belt, which allows the process to be fully automated.

Miner buildings

Building placement

Scan for the target resource node with Resource Scanner 模板:Key.
Manually mine 模板:Key out the resource deposit on top of the node, if present. If cracked boulders are present, remove them with a Nobelisk Detonator.
Place the Miner down. Connect Conveyor Belt and Power Line.
Only 1 Miner can be built on each resource node.

Building upgrades

Once the higher tier of Miners are unlocked, you can upgrade (and downgrade, if you wish) the existing Miner in-place.
Aim the hologram of the higher mark Miner at the existing Miner and 模板:Mouse to upgrade it.
The Power Line and Conveyor Belt connected to it will remain connected. However, its stored ores and Power Shards will be returned to the engineer's Inventory.
- Take note when upgrading Uranium miner, as the Uranium ore is strongly radioactive when carried.
- A Conveyor Lift directly connected to a Miner will become disconnected after the Miner upgrade, observe the flexible connector of the lift become retracted as an indication. Rebuild the Conveyor Lift.
In case the Engineer's Inventory is full when upgrading the Miner, the returned material will still be stored in the Dismantle Crate, which will be hidden below the Miner. Dismantle the Miner to find it.

Foundations

A Miner can be built on a resource node even if the entire node is covered by Foundations. This does not apply to Portable Miners.

Starting time

A Miner, once it receives power, requires 10 seconds to start up. During the startup period, it consumes power, but no ore will be mined.

Mining speed

(Mining Speed) in item/min = (Purity Modifier) * (Overclock percentage) / 100 * (Default Mining Speed) item/min
where
Purity Modifier: Impure = 0.5, Normal = 1, Pure = 2 and
Default Mining Speed: Mk.1 = 60, Mk.2 = 120, Mk.3 = 240

Miner mining speed by resource node purity
Miner Mark	Impure Node	Normal Node	Pure Node
Miner Mk.1	30	60	120
Miner Mk.2	60	120	240
Miner Mk.3	120	240	480

Miner mining speed by resource node purity
Miner Mark	Impure Node	Normal Node	Pure Node
Miner Mk.1	45	90	180
Miner Mk.2	90	180	360
Miner Mk.3	180	360	720

Miner mining speed by resource node purity
Miner Mark	Impure Node	Normal Node	Pure Node
Miner Mk.1	60	120	240
Miner Mk.2	120	240	480
Miner Mk.3	240	480	780*/960

Miner mining speed by resource node purity
Miner Mark	Impure Node	Normal Node	Pure Node
Miner Mk.1	75	150	300
Miner Mk.2	150	300	600
Miner Mk.3	300	600	780*/1200

Same mining speed applies to all kinds of resource nodes, such as Iron Ore, Copper Ore, up to Uranium and Bauxite.
*Limited by Conveyor Belt Mk.5 speed which is 780 item/min.

Overclocking

Miners can be overclocked up to 250% speed, at the cost of greatly increased power consumption.

Power Consumption by Miners vs Overclocking Speed (MW)
Miner	50 %	100 %	150 %	200 %	250 %
Miner Mk.1	1.6	5.0	9.6	15.2	21.7
Miner Mk.2	4.0	12.0	23.0	36.4	52.0
Miner Mk.3	9.9	30.0	57.4	90.9	130.0

When aiming for higher mining rate, using a higher mark miner is preferred over overclocking, as per example below:

Running a Miner Mk.2 at 100% has the same mining rate as a Miner Mk.1 at 200% with reduced energy consumption (12 MW instead of 15.2 MW).
Running a Miner Mk.3 at 100% has the same mining rate as a Miner Mk.2 at 200% with reduced energy consumption (30 MW instead of 36.4 MW).
Running a Miner Mk.3 at 50% has the same mining rate as a Miner Mk.1 at 200% with reduced energy consumption (9.9 MW instead of 15.2 MW).

Miner Mk.3 extraction limit

The Miner Mk.3 extraction speed on a pure node is limited by the throughput of Conveyor Belt Mk.5. As it currently stands, the Mk.5 conveyors have a transportation rate of 780 units per minute. In contrast, the Miner Mk.3 can produce 1,200 units per minute on a pure resource node when overclocked to 250%. The maximum clock rate the Miner Mk.3 should be set at on a pure node is calculated as follows:

(mining speed) = 480 * (overclock percentage)

(mining speed) = 780

(overclock percentage) = 162.5%

Rounded up to 163% for maximum efficiency.

This will overproduce by 2.4 units per minute, filling up the Miner's output cargo slot in 41 Minutes and 40 seconds.

Portable Miner

Can be set up on a resource node to automatically extract the resource. Very limited storage space.

“	We don’t want you to harm yourself mining for ore bare-handed	„
	~ Caterina Parks's assistant Steve

A Portable Miner is a small, portable version of a Miner. As the first available mining machine, it is used to semi-automate the mining process in the early-game. It can be crafted at the Equipment Workshop after completing the Tier 0 Milestone - Hub Upgrade 1. It requires no fuel nor power. It has no Conveyor Belt connections which means its mining process cannot be fully-automated.

Mining Speed

A Portable Miner mines at a speed of 20, 40, and 80 items per minute for impure, normal, and pure nodes respectively, although its interface will always say "1 per second".

Dismantle

As a Portable Miner is considered an equipment, not a building, you cannot dismantle it with 模板:Key. Manually approach it 模板:Key and press the 'Pick Up Miner' button to remove it, including its contents.

Usage

Open the inventory 模板:Key and Double 模板:Mouse the Portable Miner to equip it in hand. Then find a resource node with the Resource Scanner 模板:Key, such as an Iron Ore node. At any location on the deposit where you have the prompt to pick up ore, 模板:Mouse to deploy the miner. It will display a deploy animation, but will begin mining as soon as it leaves your hand.

It only hold one stack of ore (usually 100). When the miner is full, it will stop mining, displaying an animation and making noise, and you can interact 模板:Key with it and click 'Grab All' to take out the ores.

It is advised to place several Portable Miners in an arc shape so that the engineer is not required to move around when interacting with the next portable miner. As soon as the Storage Container is unlocked, build it next to the mining site for ore-buffering.
