Deep Mining Ore Deposit

Description

Deep Mining Ore Deposits are high-yield, infinite deposits of resources that can be found with a  Deep Mining Ore Scanner/ Advanced Deep Mining Ore Scanner and then mined with a  Biofuel Deep-Mining Drill or  Electric Deep-Mining Drill.

*Oxite and Stone Deep Ore Veins only spawn on prospects created after 05/02/2024.

Yield

Deep Mining Ore Deposits return a high-amount of resources, but take time to extract. Refer to the following table for the base time-per-ore for each node type per type of drill.

As of the Week 126 Update, Deep Mining Drills now have increased drilling speeds (up to 20%) based on area level. Harder areas increase drilling speed - refer to the Olympus, Styx, and Prometheus spawn maps for information on area levels.
