Quarry Co.
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 (3×3)
- Cost: 30 wood, 10 steel
- Up to 9 workers at once
- Yields stone chunks, steel, slag, silver, and components
Quarry (5×5)
- Cost: 80 wood, 30 steel
- Up to 25 workers at once
- Same drops as small, plus gold, jade, plasteel, and uranium
Large Quarry (7×7)
- Cost: 150 wood, 60 steel, 2 components
- Up to 49 workers at once
- Great drop rates for rare materials
Grand Quarry (9×9)
- 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)
