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

how do u set what ore they mine

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

it works as of 7/15/2025.

ich hab ein problem mit der mod, auf einer Entfernung von 40 Km ist der bohrer auf rot gestellt obwohl er genug energie bekommt, gibt es da ein lösungs weg ?

he is not updating this mod any more thats why we have other ones that are more updated with more functions

just tested.other ores and none are working for me. hopefully mod author is still active to update soon. i really like this mod

I have been enjoying this mod for many years. this last update to the game seems to made it unable to find gold though which is odd, I haven't found any other ore that it is struggling with.

is this mod broken? has stopped working for me even tho i had no problems before

Works on every Multi Player Servers i use them on just know anything past 300 range on the scan can get buggy so will not always find all the ore still been trying to find a better way to scan with out lag

Has anyone been able to get it to work on a hosted multiplayer server recently?

this very fast become my favorite mode in the game

After this one you will not need basic drills to create anymore, at least I am not using any more, Thank you very much, awesome

Tho are not Access points tho are for Speed or Yeld Modules i recommend speed its better

Are the two access points on the rear of the advanced drill meant to work with conveyors? Or are they for show.

i dont think so because its only on steam i have never upload to mod IO to see if it works

Will this work on crossplay server?

Still working, though sound only comes through one earphone. Might be a problem on my end but i fixed it by changing the mods sound files from stereo to mono using audacity. Had same problem with the mod "Bigger Explosions", did the same and it fixed it. Might be due to a game update.

@Simple Giant i been Wanting updated Models for the Drills but i cant do 3d models.

So as many know in space engineers ores spawn as different patches (Iron, Cobalt, Nickel etc.) How do I get a specific ore from that patch? It doesn't mine all of the ores underground, it just selects one and that's the one you're stuck with.

Hello, Math!
can myself or Elachi make new models for this mod?

thanks man i loved your version

For everyone who used the mod

Also Messaged steam to try and get the original one back Pray i can get it back plz.

Without wanting to sound rude (the dev is considered a master in the field), this mod has been abandoned for a long time.

Better to turn to this one instead :

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3189233806

Can anyone give me some advice on properly placing the advanced static drills? It seems no matter how I rotate or adjust it, it never lines up with the connection points of my pipelines.

To all those asking questions here :
Last message from the creator on his steam profile (January 2024) regarding this mod :

One day, probably re-doing it

Not to be rude, but it states mines the ores below them, so it will me needing to be above the ore patch. It is not a just p[lace anywhere and it mines around itself. it just mines what is the first ore it finds underneath it. So your also boned if you are trying to mine a deeper more valuable ore.

It does not need to touch the ore in question just be placed above it, It does not (last i checked) deplete the ore vein, but its does take forever to get the ore instead, and uses a lot of power to compensate. It will not leave a hole that will be needed to fill in.

You are unable to place more than one miner per location as it will start to reduce the amount of ore it will gather. YES you can place speed modules on the advanced one to help speed it up as with a yeild to incresse output.

theres like a criminal lack of any kind of information about this mod in its description

range? can i just place it at my base and have it mine everything near me?

does it have to touch the ores?

does it deplete the ore veins?

does it leave holes underground or does it fill them with stone?

Does this mod actually deplete ore veins, or does it act as an infinite resource node?

getting this error

Also, Discord link in description is *not* working.... (to the "Maths Mods" Discord server)

Nvm, i just had to put the drill directly on the ore (not above it but on it)

is there a limit to how many drills you can have? I've was trying to set up drills to harvest uranium and for some reason, the drills just didnt work, no matter where i placed them. My platinum mine only has 2 working drills. I have 30 solar panals and 2 batteries powering it, but it just doesnt work. any ideas?

Please fix the drill sound following me everywhere. :)

@JJ Please Read the whole page next time

@JJ i have Permission

Don't know if this is approved or not: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3189233806&searchtext=

Couldnt made it even louder.

SO LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!

once I start a drill, the sounds stays on me permanently, even if I disable it...

Generate passively

Does this mod use up the ore vein or does it generate ressources passively based on close up ore veins?

It took me way too long to realize the static drill scaffold when it's not built had a color indicator to show if it worked or not

These aren't working on asteroids for me. I might have to mess with it more, but does anyone know if they don't work on asteroids?
