⚙️Auto Miners
Ten gas-powered passive miners, their drill bits and outputs. · 24 items documented.
Auto Miners pull resources from the ground they sit on. They use the vanilla dew-collector backend: fuel them with gasoline, fit a drill bit, and they produce on a slow, balanced timer. Placement is geological — each miner needs its matching node or terrain.
- Drill bits are reusable and never consumed: Iron (Tier I miners), Hardened Steel (oil shale, and runs Tier I), Diamond-Core (everything, including silver and gold).
- Outputs come as bundles: 1,000 of the common resources, or a few nuggets for silver and gold.
- The Auto Miner Controller manages them.
A compact pallet containing 1000 units of Small Stone.
A sealed bulk pack containing 1000 units of Coal.
A stabilized bulk pack containing 1000 units of Nitrate Powder.
A dense bulk pack containing 1000 units of Scrap Lead.
A sorted industrial bundle containing 1000 units of Scrap Brass.
A magnetic bulk pack containing 1000 units of Scrap Iron.
A compacted pallet containing 1000 units of Clay Soil.
A sealed drum pack containing 1000 units of Oil Shale.
A deep-core sample containing four Gold Nuggets.
A deep-core sample containing three Silver Nuggets.
A reinforced bit that speeds up mining automation. Reduces craft time by 0% in Auto Miners. It is required to Function. Stacks with Other Drill Bits for a combined reduction of time to mine. Does not mine all resources alone.
Hardened steel bit for advanced boring. Reduces craft time by 11.1% in Auto Miners. Stacks with Other Drill Bits for a combined reduction of time to mine.
Precision-tipped and ultra-durable. Reduces craft time by 40.3% in Auto Miners. Stacks with Other Drill Bits for a combined reduction of time to mine. When combined with other drills, it impacts harvest time on all tiers of drilling.
