  • The Giant Excavator mines one resource at a time - pick it on the excavator's control panel. Its yields per diesel are Facepunch's own (December 2021).
  • Monument quarries and the pump jack have run on diesel since December 2022. Facepunch hasn't published their yields; the figures here come from community guides.
  • Server owners can change all of these rates; these are vanilla defaults.
  • Player-placed quarries and pump jacks are admin-only - you can't craft them in normal play.

Frequently Asked Questions

One diesel runs it for 2 minutes and gives 10,000 stone, 5,000 metal fragments, 2,000 sulfur ore or 100 high quality metal - whichever resource you picked. A full stack of 20 diesel runs it for 40 minutes.

Community guides put it at about 1,000 sulfur ore per diesel, running about 2 minutes 10 seconds each. Facepunch hasn't published the figure.
