Building a huge mining operation is a job for machines, not man!
This wide-ranging project will design machines for automated excavation and construction in addition to improving the options available for traversing your base.
In addition to automatic excavation this project will seek to produce an explosive which can be used the clear out a large area.
We now have a wide variety of new machines available for automating our base. Use the Macerator to grind up useless rock in exchange for the occasional useful ore. The auto-excavator can dig out shafts above it while the auto-builder can construct long conveyor runs for us.
Use the lifts to safely travel between your surface base and deeper mines. Use the explosives to clear out large areas or destroy hostile targets.
