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.
Technology | Cost | Effects | Cumulative effect |
---|---|---|---|
Mining productivity 1 | ✖ 250 | 10% | 10% |
Mining productivity 2 | ✖ 500 | 10% | 20% |
Mining productivity 3 | ✖ 1000 | 10% | 30% |
Mining productivity 4-∞ | (eg. 2500 for level 4, 5000 for level 5) |
✖ 2500*(Level-3) 10% per level | 30% + 10%*(Level-3) |
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.
