Mining productivity is a research that increases the resource output of mining drills and pumpjacks by 10% per level. Unlike productivity from productivity modules, there are no downsides. Any ore that is produced by the productivity bonus is free; it does not deplete the resource under the miner.

Output of electric mining drills

At mining productivity 350, a single electric mining drill can fill a blue belt. (Note: As of the Space Age DLC, mining drills are limited to feeding at a rate of 1/2 the rate supported by the belt.)
