Double drill radius

Description
This mod doubles drill radius for large and small ships.

Large drill now need one more steel plate to build, as a quick and dirty way to check the mod is working (this is my first mod).

I made this because I was tired of drills exploding on contact : now they should dig fast enough to not touch anything (unless you are deliberately moving fast while drilling).

The mod overrides the drill block definitions, so any mod that modifies the vanilla drills will be incompatible with this one. Other drill mods (laser drill, etc) shouldn't get affected by this, unless they get ranges from the vanilla blocks.

you're welcome, always happy to see that my 20-minute hack from 5 years ago helps other people.

This mod saved me a lot of trouble using OctoMoose's Tunnel Boring Machine. Thank you! :D

have you tried loading a world with just this mod enabled?
Gato  [author] 18 May, 2019 @ 4:40am 
just tried in a test world, it loads fine. A few tips:
do you have other mods for drills? have you tried unsubbing and subbing again to redownload it?

It doesn't seam to be any difference in Primary Mode but does in Secondary Mode.
Is this normal?

Works like charme and makes mining way more comfortable. Awesome!

I am not sure but basically if they work with the vanilla drills they will work with this mod.
