Virtual Quarries

Virtual Quarries (VQs) are one of the core passive-income systems on BritsPVE, letting you generate resources while offline or AFK.

Overview

Virtual Quarries generate resources continuously and can be upgraded to Level 6.

Three quarry types are available:

• Mining Quarry (ore-focused)
• Pump Jack (crude oil)
• Wood Generator (wood)

Getting Started

1. Type /s to open the shop.
2. Buy Survey Charges.
3. Buy your desired quarry type.
4. Type /qr to open the Virtual Quarry interface.
5. Use Survey Charges to find strong nodes.
6. Place your quarry.
7. Keep it fueled with oil barrels.

Fuel requirement: all quarries consume oil barrels.

Upgrade Strategy

Progression Tips

• Early game: Start with a Pump Jack to create a self-fueling loop.
• Mid game: Add Mining Quarries and push to Level 3-4.
• Late game: Max all quarry types and farm Batteries for final upgrades.

Resource Path vs RP Path

Use resources when:

• You have surplus materials
• You want to save RP
• You are early/mid game

Use RP when:

• You can farm RP efficiently
• You need to preserve crafting materials
• You are late game

Output Comparison (Level 6)

Type	Per Minute	Per Hour
Wood Generator	5,000 Wood	300,000 Wood
Mining Quarry (Metal Ore)	637.5 Metal Ore	38,250 Metal Ore
Mining Quarry (Sulfur Ore)	637.5 Sulfur Ore	38,250 Sulfur Ore
Pump Jack (Crude Oil)	467.5 Crude Oil	28,050 Crude Oil
Mining Quarry (HQM)	416.5 HQM	24,990 HQM

Multiplier note: Mining Quarry and Pump Jack both reach 8.5x at Level 6.

Quick Reference

• Access quarries with /qr
• Buy quarry items and Survey Charges via /s
• All quarries require oil barrel fuel
• Survey nodes before placement
• Start with Pump Jack for fuel economy
• Max level is 6
• Multipliers: Mining (8.5x), Pump Jack (8.5x), Wood (5x)
• Upgrades can be paid with resources or RP
• Batteries are needed for end-tier upgrades
