Extraction rates

Items per minute at 100% clock speed. Overclocking to 250% with three Power Shards multiplies the rate by 2.5, so a Miner Mk.3 on a pure node reaches 1,200 per minute, exactly the capacity of a Conveyor Belt Mk.6.

Building	Impure	Normal	Pure
Miner Mk.1	30/min	60/min	120/min
Miner Mk.2	60/min	120/min	240/min
Miner Mk.3	120/min	240/min	480/min

What Iron Ore is used for

Iron Ore is the first resource you mine and the one you never stop needing. Smelted into Iron Ingots it becomes plates, rods and screws, and with Coal it becomes Steel. Most players run out of iron before anything else, so build your first big factory next to pure iron.
