Unlike mining lasers, they have a cycle time of 180 seconds (3 minutes); the table below lists their mining yield in m<sup>3</sup>/min (whereas in-game tools often list their yield in m<sup>3</sup> per cycle). | ||

Even the basic strip miner is a massive upgrade over mining lasers (the Strip Miner I mines almost five times as much as a Miner I). The tech 2 strip miner has a lower base yield than its tech 1 counterpart, but can fit mining crystals, which will give it up to 15% more yield (with tech 2 mining crystals). The Modulated Deep Core Strip Miner II is the only strip miner capable of mining Mercoxit, and the ORE Strip Miner is very rare, expensive, and not worth using. | Even the basic strip miner is a massive upgrade over mining lasers (the Strip Miner I mines almost five times as much as a Miner I).
