Default-world deposits and extraction
Counts come from the bundled default-world map. Randomized resource locations, purity settings and world seeds can differ. Well satellites are counted separately from ordinary nodes; each well also requires its pressurizer.
| Deposit type | Impure | Normal | Pure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resource nodes | 0 | 9 | 8 |
One extractor at the selected clock
Rates below are theoretical output before transport limits, in items/min. Purity multipliers are 0.5×, 1× and 2×. The clock is the miner or oil extractor clock; for well satellites it is the connected pressurizer clock.
| Extractor | Clock | Impure | Normal | Pure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miner Mk.1 | 100% | 30 | 60 | 120 |
| Miner Mk.1 | 250% | 75 | 150 | 300 |
| Miner Mk.2 | 100% | 60 | 120 | 240 |
| Miner Mk.2 | 250% | 150 | 300 | 600 |
| Miner Mk.3 | 100% | 120 | 240 | 480 |
| Miner Mk.3 | 250% | 300 | 600 | 1,200 |
A belt must carry the full output. Available belt capacities are Mk.1: 60 items/min; Mk.2: 120 items/min; Mk.3: 270 items/min; Mk.4: 480 items/min; Mk.5: 780 items/min; Mk.6: 1,200 items/min. A pure Mk.3 miner at 250% produces 1,200 items/min and needs a Mk.6 belt to export all of it. A slower belt limits delivered output even when the miner's clock is higher.
