Description
Static drills is a mod that will add 3 new blocks to the game

Each of these blocks have the ability to mine whatever ore type is below them


This is great for servers because it will increase server performance, decrease the amount of voxel edits, and encourage base and outpost game play.

Static drills work with all ore types modded or unmodded any place were there are voxels.

Drills will lose efficiency when they are near each other
(any drills that are mining the same ore type within 50 meters of another will greatly impact the performance of the drill. The exact % is dependent on the distance)

Drill has to be in a voxel to start mining and the colors are below,

Color codes:
Red = Nothing
Yellow = Full or unbuilt
Orange = Functional
Aqua = Detected ore


Works on both DS and singleplayer and works very well with the Pipelines mod!

Escaped Psycho not with this version you have to put the drill on top the ore for this version

Is there a depth limit? I'm using the Advanced Static Drill (or as I like to call it thumper) but cannot get it to drill Magnesium at a depth of 75.5m directly below two different Advanced Static Drill. It's just producing stone. I've used it to mine Nickel, Ice, Gold and Silver so far without issue. I've tried two different Magnesium deposits and moving the ASD multiple times and placing multiple ASDs... just yields stone. Anyone?

Ulthane with this version of the mod you cant select what you want to mine but my version you can. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3422654770 i Recommend keeping the range lower then 300 or it will not always fine the nodes

Does this mod still work. I placed right on top of a lake, but doesn't seem to mine any Ice.

This is a great mod, I only wish the models fit the game's artstyle better.

to convert it you can do it in an online editor, I have not touched this mod yet but saw the file conflict issues, if that is the only reason the mod doesnt work then its a SUPER simple fix i converted the audio files using an online editor at twistedwave com online

MediumDrillSlam.wav) from this mod, stating that it "must be in mono, got 2 channels".

if someone could fix this issue in this Mod, that is familliar with modding, then this mod would work so much better
