Core Keeper 1.2 Update: 3 Methods to Maximize Ore Mining Efficiency and an Auto-Smelting GuideLearn in detail how to efficiently mine ore veins in Core Keeper version 1.2, step by step. From simple early-game automatic mining to late-game automated smelting systems, we introduce optimal mining strategies that consider the finite nature of ore veins. Make resource management even more convenient through on-site collection or on-site smelting.
1. 💡 Basic Knowledge of Ore Veins and MOD Utilization
· Ore veins may seem infinite, but they are actually finite, with each vein yielding 1,800 ore.
· Once all 1,800 ores are mined, the vein is destroyed, so installing long conveyor belts to your base to create a permanent facility means the hassle of reinstallation every time a vein is depleted.
· Generally, it is more efficient to collect ore on-site or smelt it on-site.
· If you're open to using MODs, you can install the 'Infinite Ore Boulder' MOD to mine ore veins infinitely.
· Once all 1,800 ores are mined, the vein is destroyed, so installing long conveyor belts to your base to create a permanent facility means the hassle of reinstallation every time a vein is depleted.
· Generally, it is more efficient to collect ore on-site or smelt it on-site.
· If you're open to using MODs, you can install the 'Infinite Ore Boulder' MOD to mine ore veins infinitely.

2. ⛏️ Early-Game Automatic Ore Mining Device
· This is a simple automatic ore mining device you can build in the early game.
· Simply surround the ore vein with crude drills and place wires and a lever.
· Simply surround the ore vein with crude drills and place wires and a lever.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Required Items | 1 Lever 8 Crude Drills 2 Wires |
| Features | Slow mining speed and manual collection. Mining 1,800 ores with 8 drills takes approximately 20 hours. Low-cost to build, useful in the early game. |

3. ⚙️ Mid-Game Automatic Ore Mining and Smelting Device
· This is a mid-game automatic mining and smelting device you can build once you obtain Tin.
· Drills mine the ore, which is then collected by conveyor belts and automatically smelted using a robot arm and a furnace.

4. 🚀 Late-Game Automatic Mining Device Using Item Distributors
· This is a very compact automatic mining device you can build in the late game.
· It utilizes Item Distributors, added in the 'Void & Voltage' update.
· Once you obtain Octarine, you can craft an Advanced Automation Table at a workbench, and then craft Item Distributors there.

5. 🔗 Base Transport via Item Distributor Connection (Dream Setup)
· This is a 'Dream Setup' method of instantly transporting ore to your base by connecting Item Distributors.
· Connecting Item Distributors in a line allows items to move quickly.
· However, it's not cost-effective, and since ore veins are finite, you'll have to rebuild it after mining 1,800 ores.
· It's worth trying for players using the 'Infinite Ore Boulder' MOD.

6. 📝 Summary of Efficient Ore Vein Mining Methods
· In the early game, it's best to set up crude drills and leave them.
· In the mid-game, on-site smelting using a furnace and robot arm is efficient.
· In the late game, build a compact automatic mining system using Item Distributors.
· Considering that ore veins are finite, it's important not to build overly elaborate facilities.
