The 'Drill-O-Matic' Mining Excavator is a part introduced in version 1.0. With its introduction, players can use this part to extract ore from the surface of a planetary body. The Drill-O-Matic is the only part that is capable of any type of mining in the game. The drill must be connected to a holding tank in order for it to be able to extract any ore.
Uses
The primary use for the Drill-O-Matic is for mining. If a player positions the drill on an area with a nominal amount of ore beneath the surface, which can be determined by completing planetary scans, the player can use the drill to collect ore that can be turned into liquid fuel and oxidizer. A qualified engineer can increase the output of the drill and also run the drill on overdrive, but this will cause overheating.
Though not designed for this purpose, the drill can be used to lift up the part that it is connected to, though this can lead to the drill flipping over or breaking.
Product description
“ | Designed to help extract valuable resources from the crust of planets and asteroids, the Drill-O-Matic uses a rotary drill combined with an internal transfer auger to pull crushed regolith into holding tanks for later processing. When operated by a skilled engineer, you will be able to operate with better efficiency. | ” |
