(Added table for region specific ore distribution, and seperated out the older table from before the terrain update. I only have data for Dusk Valley on Venus currently (I'm not cool enough to know how to pull game files, but I have a tablet and a dream).)

Since update 0.2.5903.26007 (terrain update), deep ore generation is now tied to regions, with each region yielding a set ratio of ores, some regions containing only a single ore type for deep mining, with others containing two or three. The deep mining yield of a region can be detected using the [[Cartridge|Deep ore scanner tablet cartridge]] or using the [[Motherboard (Map)]] and a [[Rocket Deep Scanner Head]].

Description[edit]

Drills through terrain until it hits bedrock. Once inside bedrock 10 or 11 Dirty Ore is produced every 80 to 100 seconds[1]. Both values are random each time, by average 10.5 ore every 90s (7 ore per minute).

Two standard electric Centrifuges would be required to process the output of a single Deep Miner (not including the spindown/ejection sequence). One Combustion Centrifuge running on normal fuel at 520 RPM would be almost fast enough to process the output of 3 Deep Miners.

The Deep Miner consumes 500 watts while it is powered on.

Data/logic parameters currently incomprehensible to page contributor.

Region Ore distribution[edit]

Since update 0.2.5903.26007 (terrain update), deep ore generation is now tied to regions, with each region yielding a set ratio of ores, some regions containing only a single ore type for deep mining, with others containing two or three. The deep mining yield of a region can be detected using the Cartridge (Deep Miner) or using the Motherboard (Map) and a Rocket Deep Scanner Head.

Ore Distribution by Region and Position

A map of ore regions for each world has been created by AproposMath on Github, available here.

Ore Distribution (Prior to 0.2.5903.26007 (terrain update))[edit]

Prior to the Terrain update, most locations had the same ore-distribution table, Venus and Vulcan being the exceptions. The percentages may not add up to exactly 100% due to rounding, and your numbers may be slightly different due to the random number generator that selects what ore comes out of a Dirty Ore when cleaned.

Ore Standard Venus Vulcan
Iron 39.5% 40.0% 31.7%
Gold 5.7% 4.9% 4.2%
Uranium 0.6% 0.7% 0.7%
Copper 14.3% 20.6% 18.2%
Hydrocarbon 20.2% 19.8% 17.0%
Silver 2.9% 3.8% 8.3%
Nickel 3.0% 3.3% 7.7%
Lead 2.9% 1.8% 2.1%
Silicon 9.1% 4.3% 8.6%
Cobalt 1.7% 0.9% 1.5%
