Quarry Co.
Dig in. Literally.
Overview
Quarry Co. adds four sizes of quarry pits that let your colonists extract stone chunks and minerals from the ground. No more strip-mining the entire map for granite. Just build a quarry and assign quarriers. Spawned resources are automatically marked for hauling.
Buildings
Small Quarry (3x3)
- Cost: 30 wood, 10 steel
- Up to 9 workers at once
- Yields stone chunks, steel, slag, silver, and components
Quarry (5x5)
- Cost: 80 wood, 30 steel
- Up to 25 workers at once
- Same drops as small, plus gold, jade, plasteel, and uranium
Large Quarry (7x7)
- Cost: 150 wood, 60 steel, 2 components
- Up to 49 workers at once
- Great drop rates for rare materials
Grand Quarry (9x9)
- Cost: 250 wood, 120 steel, 4 components
- Up to 81 workers at once

- Highest drop rates for plasteel, uranium, gold, jade, and components
- Construction skill 6 required
How It Works
- Build a quarry (requires Quarrying research, 400 cost, Neolithic tier)
- Quarrying is its own work type in the work tab (separate from Mining)
- Multiple pawns can work the same quarry simultaneously (1 per tile)
- Each quarrying cycle produces a random resource based on quarry size
- Resources spawn unforbidden with a haul designation
- Toggle quarrying on/off with the gizmo button

- Workers per tile multiplier (default 1.0x, range 0.1-3.0)

- Minimum mining skill for quarrying (default 0, range 0-20)
