Mining Machine
Mining Facility
The more veins covered by the mining machine, the faster the mining speed, and the same vein can be covered by multiple mining rings, but the more mining rings covered, the faster the consumption.

Summary

The more veins covered by the mining machine, the faster the mining speed, and the same vein can be covered by multiple mining rings, but the more mining rings covered, the faster the consumption.

Player Tips & Tricks

Here's a formula for determining how many veins you need to cover, to fill a belt:

V = (2 * Bs) / (1 + (0.1 * Vu))
V = Veins
Bs = Belt Speed (in items/second)
Vu = # of Veins Utilizations Upgrades completed

The Conveyor Belt Mk.I can carry 6 items per second or 360 items per minute. A Mining Machine that is covering exactly 6 veins will produce 180 items per second. Combining the belts from two mining machines will fully saturate a Conveyor Belt Mk.I with a full 360 items per minute. Note: Mining machines can cover the same resource veins, as shown in the picture below.

 
Two Mining Machines Fully Saturate a Belt

The mining machine harvests each vein covered by its harvest area at a rate of 30/s (without any technology researched). This rate is the same for all material veins. Each level of the Veins Utilization Upgrade increases the harvest rate by 10%, and reduces the consumption rate by 6%.
