Miner Mk.1

The Miner MK1 is a structure used to mine natural resources including Iron Ore, Copper Ore, Limestone and Coal, from resource nodes found around the map.

It is unlocked after completing the tier 0 milestone "Hub Upgrade 4"

Mining speed
The formula for miner mining speed is:

(mining speed)=(miner level)*(purity modifier)*(overclock percentage)*60

Purity modifiers; Impure = 0.5x, Normal = 1.0x, Pure = 2.0x.

With an un-overclocked Miner Mk 1 you will get the following mining speeds:

Placement
The Miner Mk 1 can only be placed on resource nodes. Often resource deposits will spawn on top of resource nodes, they appear as large rocks on the resource nodes. The Miner Mk 1 cannot be placed on top a resource node that has a resource deposit, and you will need to mine away the resource by hand.
