Mining Drill
A Mining Drill is a BCU-dependent utility item that mines for Bottles of Water and certain kinds of Ores within or near their own base.
Stored Mining Progress: When switching resource types in the mining drill, the individual progress of each resource type will be stored so it can be resumed from the same progress point later. Moving a mining drill will reset it's mining progress for each ore type.
Note:The mining drill was originally known as the Wellhead and only served to drill for Bottles of Water.
Interface
The Ore types are determined by what region you are placing this in the world.
- Some of less common ore/minerals will take longer to extract (50% speed). These will be 'highlighted' in the UI.
Crafting
Craft a Mining Drill inside the BCU craft tab.
Upgrades
The Mining Drill has two (2) upgrades available.
Without any upgrades, the mining drill allows the player to extract individual bits of ore or bottles of water at a certain speed and power cost per second.
