Extracts 1,000 Raw Resources. Consumes 1 Power. High Pollution on occasion. Note that even though Stripmining Complexes appear to produce an incredible number of resources, they are Raw Resources which are useless until converted into more interesting resource types such as Iron or Lumber. This takes significant industrial output and has an efficiency of only 10%. The Iron, Lumber and so forth must then be converted using more industrial effort into Items like Steel and Timber (at 33% efficiency), which could then be manufactured by your busy factory workers into Construction Materials or other Items. Stripmining Complexes and the Industries needed to support them will take a long time to pay off, but if you have excess industrial capacity already, they are a great way to feed your Empire's hungry need for basic raw materials.
