## Description

Once a [Deep Miner](/wiki/deep-miner) is inside bedrock it starts to produce Dirty Ore, which can be converted to regular ores using a [Centrifuge](/wiki/centrifuge) or [Combustion Centrifuge](/wiki/combustion-centrifuge).

Alternatively, Dirty Ore can also be acquired using the [Rocket Miner](/wiki/rocket-miner), returning ore via rockets from space.

## Composition and Mining Regions

Dirty Ore will be converted by the ore-mix of the deep mining regions below the Deep Miner in a 1:1. The mining regions of a planet can be uncovered by using a rocket with a scanner-head.

## Notes
