As you can just scan for more ore, it typically isn't worth it to travel halfway across the map for a single deposit. Other than the [[power]] consideration, your deep drillers will have to travel a long way back and forth, and will be less secure against [[raid]]s. If you do need to travel, you might want to create a [[bed]]room and dining area to reduce walking time. The drill can be put in a room with high beauty, to please the miner. | As you can just scan for more ore, it typically isn't worth it to travel halfway across the map for a single deposit.

A | + | *The ground-penetrating scanner itself is not usable if there is a roof over it, though they can be placed in rooms if you need to regulate the [[temperature]]. A minium of 24 tiles is required for temperature regulation; the 9 tiles of open roof will make heating inefficient, but it is possible. Having a larger room with double-thick walls allows for more efficient heating. |
* Scanning is considered a Research task. Using a [[research bench]] or [[long-range mineral scanner]] will always be higher priority, and will be done first whenever possible. If you want pawns to actively scan for ore, you can either turn off any of your [[hi-tech research bench]]es, or set an [[allowed area]] that ''excludes'' areas with research benches. | * Scanning is considered a Research task.
