Description
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).
Drill consumes 500 watts
Data/logic parameters currently incomprehensible to page contributor.
Region Ore distribution
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 Deep ore scanner tablet cartridge or using the Motherboard (Map) and a Rocket Deep Scanner Head.
Ore Distribution by Region and Position

Ore Distribution (Prior to 0.2.5903.26007 (terrain update))
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% |
