Same node, same base yield — a faster tool just breaks it quicker. Auto-fire tools (Jackhammer/Chainsaw) hit the hot-spot mini-game every swing for ~+33% bonus; manual tools get the base unless you nail every marker. Ore Tea boosts the total — Basic +20% · Advanced +35% · Pure +50% · Super Serum +400% (event-only, the strongest). see Teas →
Yield with tea (Stones)
| No tea | 750 | — |
| Basic Ore Tea | 900 | +20% |
| Advanced Ore Tea | 1,013 | +35% |
| Pure Ore Tea | 1,125 | +50% |
Tea % applies to whatever you gather, so it stacks on top of the hot-spot bonus (drink before mining). No pie boosts ore — Bear Pie is a digestion buff; the Survivor's Pie only boosts animal harvest.
