MINDUSTRY LARGE VS SMALL WALLS PORTABLE

Open the inventory Tab ↹ and Double the Portable Miner to equip it in hand. Manually approach it E and press the 'Pick Up Miner' button to remove it, including its contents. *Limited by Conveyor Belt Mk.5 speed which is 780 items/min.Īlternate recipes analysis for Miner is not applicable as there is only a single recipe to automate the production of Portable Miner.Ī 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'.Īs a Portable Miner is considered as equipment, not a building, you cannot dismantle it with F. (overclock percentage) = 162.5% Maximum ore throughput with Miner Mk.3 on every ore node Iron Nodes (mining speed) = 480 * (overclock percentage) The maximum clock rate the Miner Mk.3 should be set at on a pure node is calculated as follows: In contrast, the Miner Mk.3 can produce 1,200 units per minute on a pure resource node when overclocked to 250%. As it currently stands, the Mk.5 conveyors have a transportation rate of 780 units per minute. The Miner Mk.3 extraction speed on a pure node is limited by the throughput of Conveyor Belt Mk.5.

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).

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.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).

When aiming for a higher mining rate, using a higher mark miner is preferred over overclocking, as per the example below: Power Consumption by Miners vs Overclocking Speed (MW) Miners can be overclocked up to 250% speed, at the cost of greatly increased power consumption.

*Limited by Conveyor Belt Mk.5 speed which is 780 items/min.

Same mining speed applies to all kinds of resource nodes, such as Iron Ore, Copper Ore, up to Uranium, and Bauxite.

Miner mining speed by resource node purity

Mining speed can also be set by typing a desired number in the 'parts per minute' under the 'Target production rate:' instead of the sliding bar, or percentage.

Purity Modifier: Impure = 0.5, Normal = 1, Pure = 2 andĭefault Mining Speed: Mk.1 = 60, Mk.2 = 120, Mk.3 = 240 (Mining Speed) in items/min = (Purity Modifier) * ( Overclock percentage) / 100 * (Default Mining Speed) items/min During the startup period, it consumes power, but no ore will be mined. When placing the miner, point your gun at the node and the miner should be placed at the appropriate height.Ī Miner, once it receives power, requires 10 seconds to start up.

If covering foundations are higher and the miner is unable to find the node, alternatively to placing corner ramps, place foundations while leaving any portion of the node visible.

If desired to cover foundations higher, consider using corner ramps as they lack collision box, and thus allow clipping.

This is provided the foundations laid are not too high above the resource node.

You will still need to have the required number of Portable Miners in your inventory when upgrading, despite them also being a part of the returned parts.Ī Miner can be built on a resource node even if the entire node is covered by Foundations.

MINDUSTRY LARGE VS SMALL WALLS FULL

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.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.Take note when upgrading a Uranium miner, as the Uranium ore is strongly radioactive when carried.

However, its stored ores and Power Shards will be returned to the engineer's Inventory.

The Power Line and Conveyor Belt connected to it will remain connected.

MINDUSTRY LARGE VS SMALL WALLS UPGRADE

Aim the hologram of the higher-mark Miner at the existing Miner and to upgrade it.Once the higher tier of Miners are unlocked, you can upgrade (and downgrade, if you wish) the existing Miner in-place.Only one Miner can be built on each resource node.

MINDUSTRY LARGE VS SMALL WALLS CRACKED

If cracked boulders are present, remove them with a Nobelisk Detonator. Manually mine E out the resource deposit on top of the node, if present.Scan for the target resource node with Resource Scanner V.1.8 Maximum ore throughput with Miner Mk.3 on every ore node.
