Large Mining Drill
The Large Mining Drill is a 7x7x7 pseudo-multiblock, which allows the player to extract bedrock ore.
Recipe
The Large Mining Drill is made in the assembly machine with the following recipe:
Usage
The drill is the only machine that can exploit bedrock ore, which it will never deplete. Though it cannot mine depth rock, it will break blocks in a 3x3 column underneath its center until reaching the bedrock layer, where it will start gathering the ore.
The Large Mining Drill needs power, an appropriate acid as well as a drillbit to operate. Through its GUI, the operator can enable a variety of features: walling (which will replace air on the side of the drilled hole with Sandbags), as well as Silk Touch, crushing, or Vein Mining the blocks found on the way to the bedrock layer.
Near the "miller" part of the machine is an output port for items, useful for integrating the drill in automation and connecting it to a bedrock ore processor.
Notes
- It has a base energy consumption of 10kHE/t.
- When using a steel drillbit, it has a base speed of 300 seconds per 1 bedrock ore.
