# Mining Power and Tools In MMU, each NFT tool and PFP has a base mining power of 0.005. Adding a PFP increases mining power by 0.001. \ **You need at least 1 PFP Alien and 1 Tool to be able to mine and up to 1 Alien and 3 Tools.**\ Tools gain extra mining power if the terrain matches the tool: * Common: +0.01 * Rare: +0.012 * Epic: +0.014 * Mythic: +0.018 The reward amount is calculated as : ``` reward = mining_power * resource_amount_on_land ``` Different tools have varying efficiencies on different land types, so strategic use is crucial for maximizing rewards. Tools and PFP Aliens have a **24-hour cooldown** period {% content-ref url="/pages/cuSqd8AvfDRNzFQDmQzv" %} [Tool Purchase](/mmu/economic-system/tool-purchase.md) {% endcontent-ref %} ### **Phase 2 Update (TBD)**: Tool durability will be introduced, impacting how long tools can be used before needing repair or replacement. \ Additionally, the MarsTrader artisticart collection will provide bonuses to tools, such as increased mining power and reduced cooldown times. \ Buildings will also play a more significant role. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
