Metal Mine[]
A resource mining facility. The mining efficiency depends on the building level as well as on additional bonuses from other buildings and research.
In-game Description[]
The various metal alloys are one of the fundamental resources used to build spaceships and structures. Higher levels of metal mine equipment have considerably increased productivity.
Requirements[]
No Technologies or other Buildings are needed to construct a Metal Mine.

Bonuses[]
The following Technologies affect the properties in above table:
- Muonic Chemistry +10% to the production of metal, polymers, and radium.
- Pionic Accelerator +8% to the production of metal, polymers, and radium.
- Module Constructions +40% to construction speed.
- Composite Constructions +50% to building durability.
Initially the Metal Mine can be upgraded to at most level 8 (on resource planets) or level 10 (on Mars or Earth planets). This limit can be increased with the following Technologies:
- Vacuum Technologies +2 levels to mines on resource planets.
- Production Optimization +2 levels to mines on all planets.
- Vacuum Technologies II +2 levels to mines on resource planets.
Productivity is also increased when a Metal Plant exists on the same planet.
Note[]
Even before a Metal Mine is built, every spot available for one will already produce Metal at a rate of 12 Metal/hour (subject to the relevant technology bonuses).
