Mines about 7 resources per single unit of coal used to fuel it. Covers and mines in a 2x2 area.
Mines 0.28/s of copper, coal or iron and .3675/s of stone. Burner miners create a lot of pollution per resource.


== Self-feeding ==
The '''burner mining drill''' is the first type of drill accessible to the player. It burns [[fuel]] to [[mining|mine]] the ore underneath the 2×2 area it is placed on.


Since v0.10.0 if placed on coal (any [[Fuel]], but only coal makes sense) the burner mining drill uses some coal to feed it into itself.
It mines about 7 items per single unit of coal used to fuel it, producing 0.25 items/s for [[copper ore]], [[coal]], [[iron ore]] or [[stone]]. Burner miners create a lot of [[pollution]] per item.


This makes it excelent to be used without power consumption (distant, low power), but it creates more pollution!
Burner drills are usually used until the player has built an [[electric system|electrical network]], at which point the larger and faster [[electric mining drill]] becomes more useful, though they can still provide some use as extra drills that take up less space.

Two burner mining drills can refuel each other when placed next to each other on a coal deposit as long as they're facing each other. Each drill fuels the other and coal gradually accumulates in their [[stack]]s, so you have effectively a storage of 100 coal (2 stacks, 50 coal, one in each burner miner, together 100). You can do this also for 4 or any other even number of miners.

Note that it takes slightly less than 3 minutes for the mining drills to completely fill each other's fuel inventory. Once full, the drills will sit idle until the accumulated coal is removed. It's possible to extend that time by having the drills output their coal into a buffer [[Chests|chest]] rather than directly into another drill's fuel stack.

The burner mining drill is the first type of drill accessible to the player. It burns fuel to mine the ore underneath the 2×2 area it is placed on.

It mines about 7 items per single unit of coal used to fuel it, producing 0.25 items/s for copper ore, coal, iron ore or stone. Burner miners create a lot of pollution per item.

Burner drills are usually used until the player has built an electrical network, at which point the larger and faster electric mining drill becomes more useful, though they can still provide some use as extra drills that take up less space.

Self-Sustaining Coal Mines

Both methods require no electricity.

Method 1

Two burner mining drills can refuel each other when placed next to each other on a coal deposit as long as they're facing each other. Each drill fuels the other and coal gradually accumulates in their stacks, so you have effectively a storage of 100 coal (2 stacks, 50 coal, one in each burner miner, together 100). You can do this also for 4 or any other even number of miners.

Note that it takes slightly less than 3 minutes for the mining drills to completely fill each other's fuel inventory. Once full, the drills will sit idle until the accumulated coal is removed. It's possible to extend that time by having the drills output their coal into a buffer chest rather than directly into another drill's fuel stack.

Method 2

This method can be used for any number of burner mining drills in a coal deposit. Place a burner mining drill, then place at least three transport belts from the output in a mirrored "L" like shape so that the third belt has a gap between it and the miner. Fill the gap with a burner inserter in a way that the inserter can insert coal to the miner. When placing this array of entities opposite of each other, ensure that no two burner inserters are trying to take coal from the same piece of belt or one of them might run out of fuel.
