	The table below shows the number of mining drills needed to fully saturate both lanes of each belt type at key [[Mining productivity (research)]]{{SA}} levels. Miners deposit ore on one side of the belt only; values shown are total drills for both sides. The quad stacking column requires [[Transport belt capacity (research)]]{{SA}} and shows drills needed to fill a belt whose lane capacity is 4× higher; the miner's output speed is unchanged.

	Mining productivity is a research that adds a [[productivity]] bonus to ~~[[mining drill]]s,~~ [[pumpjack]]s and [[~~Big~~ mining drill]]s~~{{SA}}~~, increasing their productivity by 10% per level. Unlike productivity from [[productivity module]]s, there are no downsides, and mining productivity for drills and pumpjacks is not capped. Any ore that is produced by the productivity bonus is free; it does not deplete the resource under the miner.
