	Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a [[Mine Control Tower]] operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony. One ~~dug-out square~~ of height one is 24 - 42 units of loose material, and an accurate value is shown in [[#Density of Dumped Materials]].		Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a [[Mine Control Tower]] operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony. One designation block (16 building grid squares) of height one is 24 - 42 units of loose material, and an accurate value is shown in [[#Density of Dumped Materials]].

	The density of each material is shown in the following table. Density means an amount of materials for filling up 1 grid ~~x 1 grid x height 1~~. Note that every ore and some other materials depend on "Ore Yield" at difficulty settings on game start.		The density of each material is shown in the following table. Density means an amount of materials for filling up a volume equal to a single building grid cube. Note that every ore and some other materials depend on "Ore Yield" at difficulty settings on game start.

	The angle of repose is the angle of the slope created when the material slides. A high value means a steep wall or tall pile will be formed.		The angle of repose is the angle of the slope created when the material slides (calculated from avg. slope). A high value means a steep wall or tall pile will be formed.
