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. You can find these nodes using the Resource Scanner.

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.
