Faster auto-miner that requires Drill Bits. Drill Bits break after approximately 10 minutes and must be replaced.
Rapid Auto Miner
The Rapid Auto Miner is the advanced version of the Auto Miner MK1.
Unlike standard Auto Miners, which do not require electricity or consumables, the Rapid Auto Miner requires Drill Bits to operate. The type of Drill Bit installed determines the mining speed.
As a Drill Bit operates, the miner gradually increases its production speed. However, the increased mining speed comes with a major drawback: the Rapid Auto Miner does not produce gems.
Drill Bits
| Drill Bit | Drill Time | Drill Speed | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drill Bit | 10 minutes | 20 items/min (3 sec/item) | $120 |
| Turbo Drill Bit | 2 minutes | 60 items/min (1 sec/item) | $800 |
| Hardened Drill Bit | Infinite | 20 items/min (3 sec/item) | $1600 |
Efficiency Notes
The Turbo Drill Bit must be replaced very frequently, which makes it rarely cost-effective.
The standard Drill Bit can be worthwhile early in the game due to its low cost.
The Hardened Drill Bit is generally the best long-term option, as it does not need to be replaced.
Known Issues
- The miner occasionally skips a production cycle.
- Currently, this happens approximately once every 10 cycles.
- It is unclear whether this behavior is a bug or an intended mechanic.
