Deeper Drill
For people who don’t want to have to place deep drills in their living room.
Also for people who want to use Quarry but are playing multiplayer.
This mod adds "deeper drills", which are effectively deep drills without the placement restriction.
You can set bills to mine any resource that can be mined at a deep drill, and colonists with the Miner job will collect resources at the same rate as they would at a deep drill (though both yields and work time have been reduced, as drillers were neglecting self-care to finish long jobs).
Since deeper drills bypass the ground penetrating scanner restriction, they are unlocked at ground penetrating scanners, and cost 300 steel (up from 200), 6 components (up from 4), 50 plasteel and 2 advanced components.
They need 500 power (up from 250), have 0 beauty (up from -25), can’t catch fire, and can’t be uninstalled.
This is a pure XML mod, so it should be safe to add to existing saves, should be safe to remove (so long as you remove all the deeper drills), and is compatible with multiplayer.
If you want to use this to mine stone chunks, install this patch:
