Troubleshoot Low Mining Output

Check Rotational Power Supply

Your mining rig requires consistent rotational force to operate. Verify that your kinetic network is connected properly to the Miner Bearing and that your power source (water wheel, windmill, etc.) is generating sufficient speed and torque. Low output often means insufficient rotational power—increase your network's RPM or add more power sources.

Verify Mine Head Configuration

Confirm that your Mine Head is properly placed and connected to the Miner Bearing. If you've expanded it with iron blocks, ensure they're positioned correctly and not obstructed. Check the Miner Bearing's tooltip for live production rate numbers—this shows exactly how much ore per cycle your setup is extracting.

Optimize Deposit Location

Some underground areas may have fewer ore veins than others. Use the Deposit Scanner to confirm you're positioned over an active deposit. If output remains low despite adequate power, relocate your rig to a richer deposit zone. Consider building multiple smaller rigs across different deposits rather than one large rig in a poor location.
