Because, why stand around a drill all day? You've got better things to do!

Speed based on a lv10 miner. (5.5hr drilling steel)
Output yield scales with vanilla difficulty.

• Basic AutoDrill
  a simple automated drill
  
  Bore Radius

  Standard, 2r (9 tiles)

  Avg. Cycle

  5.5 hours

  Output

  80% of vanilla

  Consumption

  80% of vanilla

  Efficiency

  0.8/0.8 (100%)
  
  
• Giant AutoDrill
  Extracts resources in bulk, sacrificing efficiency which depletes deep-crust mineral deposits quickly. Wasteful, but gets you lots of resources fast.
  
  • Can extract multiple stone chunks (average of 3.5 per cycle)
  Bore Radius

  Large, 4r (49 tiles)

  Avg. Cycle

  7 hours

  Output

  200% of vanilla

  Consumption

  300% of vanilla

  Efficiency

  2/3 (67%)
  
  
• Smart AutoDrill
  Utilizes advanced mining techniques as to not waste mineral deposits; highly efficienct. It's very slow but will yield far more resources over time.
  
  • can't cause infestation
    
  • can't extract stone chunks.
  Bore Radius

  Small, 0.5r (1 tile)

  Avg. Cycle

  12 hours

  Output

  100% of vanilla

  Consumption

  30% of vanilla

  Efficiency

  1/0.3 (333%)

Note: resource Efficiency determines how many resources the drill can extract from a mineral deposit before exhausting it. The Giant AutoDrill consumes more than it outputs and wastes potential resources in exchange for higher-volume output in the short-term, where as the Smart AutoDrill is does the opposite.
