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.

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.

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.)
