There is, it is called "Tool Shake", and is found in world advanced settings (or there abouts)

hey any chance there could be a setting where there is no drill shake because it damages my rotor for my drill rig

To answer the next question, the mod (as downloaded by steam) should (iirc) be somewhere near
$STEAMDIR$\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\1906186459

@H4rdan

$MODDIR$/Data/CubeBlocks_Tools.sbc

SensorRadius = The Primary (Mining) Radius
CutOutRadius = The Secondary (Destroy) Radius

**Offset = How far away from the drill to project the sphere to be cut or destroyed

The vanilla (original) values can be located in $STEAMDIR$\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Data\CubeBlocks\CubeBlocks_Tools.sbc

Where can i edit the value to increase the working radious?

@emerion

While the change can be made easily, it's not something I would use, so not really something I would publish/maintain. You can easily change the mod or create your own and change SensorRadius to a value you desire.

nice work, but is it possible to have a drill++ (x3,x5 worcking radius?)

@Kingofweirdos

I have made no changes to the in game icons. All i changed was the scan radius (the working radius), and the offset of the drills. If something isn't working, kindly check your load order in case another mod is overwriting my change.

I cant seem to get this to work with small grids, tbh im not even sure if any of the better vanilla blocks mods are working as I can't see a + symbol on the drill, grinder, welder, or ore detector. I remember using this a coupe of years back but I can no longer use it for some reason.

works as described, thanks!

its currently broken. Does not collect resources in the unmodded area but does seem to collect if you are standing far away from resource

super helpful. im cutting a bunker/silo into a mountain and this made my life so much easier. didnt even need to change anything on my grinder-craft, just download and go, instant easy digging
Raynor 30 Jan, 2021 @ 5:18pm 
Is there anything I can edit to make it dig deeper only?
Fishy 22 Jun, 2020 @ 9:41am 
ah thank you very much!

@Rakoth

IIRC "SensorRadius"
Fishy 22 Jun, 2020 @ 8:19am 
hey gate, quick question, which values do i need to edit to change the Radius the drill mines?
Gate  [author] 25 May, 2020 @ 9:44pm 
@flacidmember - Negative. This mod is just an XML edit, no script involved.
flacidmember 25 May, 2020 @ 4:34pm 
Would it be possible to have an option to revert the drill radius back to vanilla size in the settings?

Would be useful for drilling conveyor tube tunnels that you'd prefer to keep as thin as possible.

Holy crap, this makes mining SO much more enjoyable. Not just for more yield, but the feel is great. Awesome mode.
Gate  [author] 29 Jan, 2020 @ 9:58am 
@Xx_Kattivo_xX - Both grids.
Kattivo™ 24 Jan, 2020 @ 6:30pm 
Is this for large grid as well?
