Mining Drill
Ever wish there was an easier way to mine for resources and archeology items without wasting time mining and digging around constantly? You’re in luck! With the Mining Drill mod you can just spend a couple resources to automate your mining and get a small chance to dig up artifacts too!
The Mining Drill will unlock once you unlock the "Drilling" skill in-game. Please make sure you unlock this skill before you assume the mod is broken. 🙂
Also, the items gained from the Mining Drill will be dropped on the tile the structure was placed on. So you will have to manually collect the items as they drop from each drill. This may change in the future if enough people request automatic collection instead. Let me know in the comments if you want this change!
Crafting Recipe:
Steel: 10
Electronics: 2
Bottled Oil: 3
30% chance of getting Junk which will just result in Sand.
*you get bonus Sand by placing the drill in a Desert biome!
60% chance of getting a Basic Resource. Every biome has a unique increase to certain drops. Some even have an added unique drop to that biome. More details in the charts below.
7% chance of getting a Rare Resource. Every biome (except Grass and Desert) have a unique rare drop.
1% chance of getting an Archeology Item. Every biome specific archeology item is included.
*(dig spot items only, no fishing archeology items.)
Q) Do Lighthouses affect the Drill?
A) Yes. The same way they would affect any vanilla game structure.
Q) Can I get all artifacts using the drill?
A) No. Only artifacts that can be found while digging. The other half would still have to be farmed via Fishing methods.
Q) I can’t see the Mining Drill in any of the build categories. Is the mod broken?
A) No. You must unlock the "Drilling" skill in-game before you can build the structure or see it in the Industrial category.

Hopefully this makes your mining grind much simpler in Forager. If you enjoyed this mod, all I ask for is a like so it can be shown to more Foragers and hopefully help them just as much as it helped you! Thank you for your time and support!
