Deep Drilling

Overview

Deep Drilling is an addon to Create that adds rare "Ore Nodes" throughout the world, yielding different resources based on the biome.

_Boulders of crimsite (iron), veridium (copper), ochrum (gold), and asurine (zinc) respectively_

Construct large drills, augment them with modules and drill heads, then fuel your factory with unlimited resources extracted from the very center of the earth!

_Minimise the upkeep cost of replacing heads, obtain only building blocks, or maximise SPEED_

Features

• Ore Nodes generate in the world
• Each variant appears in only specific biomes
• This encourages exploration and the creation of multiple outposts to exploit each type
• A new specialised Drill
• The only tool powerful enough to exploit these Ore Nodes
• Requires kinetic power and...
• ... Drill Heads
• Each one has differing durabilities, speeds, resource qualities, and production costs
• Andesite is inexpensive and easily automatable without drilling, but slow
• Copper is very fast with more durability, but can only produce building blocks
• Brass is fast with a high amount of durability and better resource output, but costs a lot to produce
• Drill Heads can be improved with fortune, efficiency, and unbreaking enchantments
• Attach Modules for even more output
• Up to 5 can be placed onto a drill at once
• The Collection Filter is a near necessity, preventing drops from spewing onto the ground
• The Sludge Pump allows Drill Heads to function faster while taking less damage, but loses quality drops to wasteful Sludge
• The Drill Overclock greatly increases drilling speed but causes Drill Heads to take more damage
• _(definitely more to come: nuance and options are cool, objective metas are boring)_
