Object description

Mining productivity is a research that adds a productivity bonus to pumpjacks and all mining drills, increasing their productivity by 10% per level. Unlike productivity from productivity modules, 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.

With the Space Age mod enabled, infinite research starts with level 3. This technology also never requires utility science packs or space science packs, making the research much cheaper.

Thresholds

The table below shows the number of mining drills needed to fully saturate both lanes of each belt type at key Mining productivity (research) 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) and shows drills needed to fill a belt whose lane capacity is 4× higher; the miner's output speed is unchanged.
