Mining Basic Upgrade
Basic Upgrade that greatly increases efficiency when crafting Mining recipes.
Notes
The Mining Basic Upgrade is a tier-1 efficiency module that reduces the resource cost and craft time of mining-related work orders when placed in a compatible crafting station's module slot. It is a low-level upgrade suited for early-game stations like a Smelter, where it provides a modest efficiency boost that can be stacked with higher-tier modules later. Placing one on a frequently used station improves material yields and speeds up production without requiring advanced infrastructure.
