====== Ore Miner ======
{{  unit_ore_miner.png  }}

The Ore Miner is a unit capable of picking up AC Ore and converting it to anticreeper storage for the Apex Ship.

===== Unit Stats =====
  * Requires 20 Energy to construct.
  * Fits in a box of 8 by 8 terrain pixels.

The Ore Miner is capable of picking up AC Ore within a 14 tile radius from its center.  The Ore Miner will pick up 1 tile of AC Ore every 3 frames (10 per second) and each tile converts to 1 packet containing 10 anticreeper.

===== Unit Usage =====
The Ore Miner gives access to anticreeper ammo to supply [[maker|Maker]] ships.  The Ore Miner requires no ammo to function, so it is effectively free after the 20 energy build cost plus a potential cost of getting access to a supply of AC Ore.

The question of when you build an Ore Miner is more a question of your ease of access to AC Ore and how useful anticreeper production would be.  Rushing anticreeper can be a good idea on some missions and a terrible idea on others, you will need to use your own judgement when to build your Ore Miner(s).

===== Spoilers =====
<hidden Help Tab transcript>
