Stationeers developer RocketWerkz recently released a new update that introduced the Deep Miner and chute devices.
Deep Miner
In this update, developers added a new device called the Deep Miner. This device is constructed on the terrain surface and used to drill bedrock located at the bottom. The device will produce 10 stacks of Dirty Ore every 90 seconds but more if you go deeper.
Make sure you process Dirty Ore with the help of the centrifuges before smelting or else it will go to waste.
Chutes
Developers also added five new chutes that come in basic and digital versions. One of these is the valve, a basic directional chute that acts as a gate, and you can open it to allow items to flow through or close it to stop items from flowing. It also comes in a digital version that can be set using the dial.
