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 |
