Ore Mining Site

Tech Level 24. Once hand-mining every Ore node starts eating your map time, this station turns Mining Pals into a steady metal feed for your hearths.

The usual recipe is Stone ×50, Ingot ×25, Paldium Fragment ×20, and Ancient Civilization Parts ×5. It wants a Mining worker. SAN drain is commonly cited near −0.15 while the pit is active, and the output is Ore headed straight into smelting.

Park chests beside the site and route Ore into your Primitive Furnace, Improved Furnace, or Electric Furnace corner so Refined Ingot and basic metal never wait on a field trip. Pair it with Stone Pit early, then add Coal Mine when refined recipes start burning fuel. When throughput stalls, climb to Ore Mining Site II instead of planting a second Site I and hoping Transport keeps up.
