A remote worker producing material and a route delivering it home are two separate stages. Check the remote chest before adding another miner: the resource may already be produced and waiting at the transport boundary.
Resource access
| Material | Route or gate |
|---|---|
| Iron and Coal | Zombie mining in the old mine after access opens |
| Stone and Marble | Western forest/quarry progression and the corresponding worker technology |
| Sand | Deposits southwest of the home area by the river |
| Clay | Deposits south, then east, of home |
| Copper | The renewable vein west of the base near the fishing pier |
The old mine is not an ordinary infinite node for the Keeper’s hand mining. Its automated worker route matters. Clearing the passage connecting the mine and basement also reveals related remote-work technologies that can remain hidden after only reaching the quarry.
What the quarry worker now does
Update 1.011 makes quarry workers bring Stone and Marble to their own chests, like other remote gatherers. Older advice to add a separate collector at the quarry is outdated for that step.
The patch does not say a quarry chest automatically supplies every surface workstation. Inspect the porter, its destination and storage space for the next leg. If the chest is full, adding another producer creates more backlog rather than solving transport.
Tool and destination checks
Give the gatherer the actual required tool. A pickaxe belongs at mining/quarry work, while sand and clay diggers need shovels. The worker’s existence at the location is not proof that it can begin the job.
At the receiving end, distinguish large-material stockpiles from ordinary chest storage and inspect the configured destination. The current Marble discussion contains both production and transport reports; a single recollection is not a universal fix for every route.
Once a material arrives underground, factory ports and conveyors determine where it goes next. Zombie suppliers covers the final surface-station input cycle.
