Automated Drilling!

Because, why stand around a drill all day? You've got better things to do! Speed based on a lv10 miner. (5.5hr drilling steel) Output yield scales with vanilla difficulty.

Includes Three AutoDrills

  • Basic AutoDrill a simple automated drill Bore RadiusStandard, 2r (9 tiles) Avg. Cycle5.5 hours Output80% of vanilla Consumption80% of vanilla Efficiency0.8/0.8 (100%)
  • Giant AutoDrill Extracts resources in bulk, sacrificing efficiency which depletes deep-crust mineral deposits quickly. Wasteful, but gets you lots of resources fast.
  • Can extract multiple stone chunks (average of 3.5 per cycle)
Bore RadiusLarge, 4r (49 tiles) Avg. Cycle7 hours Output200% of vanilla Consumption300% of vanilla Efficiency2/3 (67%) • Smart AutoDrill Utilizes advanced mining techniques as to not waste mineral deposits; highly efficienct. It's very slow but will yield far more resources over time.
  • can't cause infestation
  • can't extract stone chunks.
Bore RadiusSmall, 0.5r (1 tile) Avg. Cycle12 hours Output100% of vanilla Consumption30% of vanilla Efficiency1/0.3 (333%) Note: resource Efficiency determines how many resources the drill can extract from a mineral deposit before exhausting it. The Giant AutoDrill consumes more than it outputs and wastes potential resources in exchange for higher-volume output in the short-term, where as the Smart AutoDrill is does the opposite. --- I look forward to your feedback and balance recommendations!
