Tungsten plate

Gauss: Small wording tweak to suggest that only the Tungsten Ore component must come from Vulcanus and not that the plate itself must be made there.

The '''tungsten plate''' is an intermediate product made from [[Tungsten ore]]{{SA}} which can only be found on [[Vulcanus]]{{SA}}. It is used in multiple late game recipes as well as [[Metallurgic science pack]]s{{SA}}.

Mining

2024-10-29T00:54:58Z

Gauss: /* Drill types */ Added SA template to Big mining drill

{{Languages}}
'''Mining''' is used to extract resources from the world. Mining drills are the first step to automating manufacture, although most resources have to be smelted in a [[furnace]] for further usage.

== Mining speed formula ==
The rate at which resources are produced is given by:

Mining speed / Mining time = Production rate (in resource/sec)

To calculate the time needed for one resource-item use this formula:

Mining time / Mining speed = Seconds for one resource item

Mining speed is a function of the miner while mining time is a function of the metal or mineral you are currently mining (you can place a miner over a mixed field).

=== Mining by hand ===
When mining by hand, the formula is modified slightly:
(1 + Mining Speed Modifier) * .5 / Mining time = Production rate (in resource/sec)
[[File:player_mining_bar.gif|thumb|468px|none|Progress bar when the player mines by hand.]]
Expanded description:
(1 + Force Modifier) * (1 + Character Modifier) * (Character mining speed) / Mining time = Rate

=== Infinite resources ===

The output of the unmodified resource is the percentage yield of the tile currently used by the miner.

Output of unmodified field * ( Number of modules in miner * Bonus from module ) + Output of unmodified field * ( Number of beacons * ( Number of modules * Distribution efficiency ) * Bonus from module + Productivity research bonus + 1 ) = Raw output per second

(Raw output per second * Mining speed) / Mining time = Production rate (in resource/sec)

The mining drill or pumpjack will sum the production rate of all tiles below it and show that value in the tooltip.
