I had hoped to see Crystal in the list of things it would reduce since gems also give crystal when harvested. Its a primary required resource after all so it'd be nice to have that reduced as well.

Where do I find the INI file to edit the settings?
Hunk683 28 Sep, 2023 @ 12:45pm 
Please add the option to work underwater

@rpovorov - I'd considered that when I commissioned the mod, but harvesting a corpse always seemed a little off... 159 hide from one Dodo was a bit much. lol

If I get time this month I might get around for an update

OP Drill doesn't harvest Dead Corpses.
Jeffrey C Drywater 7 Jun, 2023 @ 4:25pm 
I commissioned a mod called OP Drill & Sickle which works underwater and has some additional options.

I crafted the mining drill but it doesn't start
Cadence 27 Aug, 2022 @ 12:01pm 
The current Mining Drill functions like a pick, bringing in more flint and thatch and less stone and wood. And enhanced mining drill should have a button that switches modes.

@Jeffrey C Drywater the vanilla Mining Drill now also happens to work underwater, came to ask the same thing
Jeffrey C Drywater 16 Aug, 2022 @ 9:26pm 
@stone - Gasoline powered devices are traditionally difficult to operate underwater since they require air to function...
stone 14 Aug, 2022 @ 6:39pm 
Is their anyway this mod could be able to work underwater
CdrCanteets 8 Aug, 2022 @ 12:02pm 
Might be an odd one but is there a script text I can add to the ini to increase the range on the mining drill?
Vas 30 Mar, 2022 @ 4:24pm 
I guess it may not be exactly this mod causing the crash, however, we did rule out a lot of things. Multiple storage chests, this being the only item in one, he crashed the instant he looked in.

But if its not the mod, then it has to be something core game. I dunno though. I think those linux files may be important in some way.
Vas 30 Mar, 2022 @ 1:54pm 
Nope, its definitely the issue. His game only crashes when he looks into any storage containing this mod's mining drill.

He's encountering a lot of missing asset bugs from mods refusing or just not compiling for Linux. I had to avoid one mod I wanted because its author flat out refuses to support linux on purpose knowing full well that it crashes all Linux players who try to use his mod, as if he's like, anti-linux on purpose.

Then there's a bug caused by Wildcard with the Ice Wyvern Egg for some reason where on Ragnarok it crashes his game if he comes across one. His game is missing a lot of textures too. Wildcard has provided terrible support for Linux and almost to the point where they want Linux users to suffer.
Pelayori  [author] 30 Mar, 2022 @ 1:29pm 
@Vas Linux uses Windows mod versions afaik, so might not be the issue.
Vas 30 Mar, 2022 @ 11:17am 
I have a user who is crashing every time he accesses a storage containing this item. He is playing on Linux. Have you compiled this with Linux compatibility?

2058642740 is the Mod ID if anyone was wondering
demonmagicks 30 Jan, 2022 @ 4:33am 
Any way to include Crystal? Just a single crystal node over encumbers me because there's no weight reduction, and it's barely any crystal harvested.
DuploPhilip 19 Dec, 2021 @ 8:24am 
what is the Mod ID
DV-1stCav 26 Jul, 2021 @ 10:56am 
Thanks for the reply. I added a mod called custom harvesting and told it to give sulfur on the sulfur nodes via their configs. Hopefully that will work lol
Pelayori  [author] 26 Jul, 2021 @ 7:33am 
I don't know if there's any Game.ini setting, sorry!
DV-1stCav 25 Jul, 2021 @ 5:13pm 
@Pelayori I am just curious if you know of a way to set up a way to get sulfur from the sulfur nodes rather than stone when using the mining drill. Is there a game.ini solution to this by chance?
Pelayori  [author] 16 Jun, 2021 @ 5:21am 
@Omega, I am currently not modding. But will look into this some day. Thanks for the report
Omega 14 Jun, 2021 @ 12:46am 
It appears that your mining drill doesn't work on the new salt nodes present in the Southwest corner of the Crystal Isles map. The nodes give stone, flint, and salt. They can be mined with a pick or hatchet, but not the mining laser. Could this please be fixed? Thanks!
FedeRama 28 May, 2021 @ 3:36pm 
@Pelayori I tried the vanilla drill and gives normal exp.. But this again, gave me a lot..
Pelayori  [author] 28 May, 2021 @ 3:44am 
@FedeRama If I remember correctly there is no increased XP Boost tied to the drill.
FedeRama 26 May, 2021 @ 11:45pm 
The drill is giving me tons of exp every tick.. I went from 100 to max level, mining a rock for less than 1 second.. My rate in single player is x2 so that should be impossible.. Any way to lower this?

I apologize for my english writing through a translator. Do you have the opportunity to make a mod portable six-barreled machine gun, based on a light-thrower or Mining Drill? I have been looking for such a weapon for a long time, but modders only repaint the standard weapon and add damage, but i needs a machine gun with a large clip and a rate of fire , preferably on standard ammunition, with damage change in ini-configs . I play alone and sometimes I miss such weapons, especially in the caves. If you can make at least a rough version I will be grateful.

This mod is compatible with all maps as far as I can tell as I have it installed cluster wide on my own. Are you using any kind of stackmod on your server? Those change base game items and are not always compatible with other things.
XSmokinAcesX 9 Oct, 2020 @ 2:07pm 
hi im on ragnarok and in first persone when i click to start the drill it acts like theres no gasoline but i have 255 gasolin in my inventory why does it not whant to start is it compatible with ragnarok can it be used in rag or not ??
Bulk Biceps 27 Sep, 2020 @ 3:39pm 
Sounds like a bad install or mod conflict, works just fine on my cluster.

Thing I would like to see as an ini option is a weight reduction table added.
Jeffrey C Drywater 21 Sep, 2020 @ 6:57pm 
Doesn't do anything? Does it start?
deadmanking 21 Sep, 2020 @ 5:43am 
somehow when i try to use the mining drill it donsent use gasoline and dosent work. enybodie know what to do?
Jeffrey C Drywater 16 Aug, 2020 @ 3:08pm 
I am not sure how to use Discord. Some time back, I tried it and if I recall correctly, I was all alone in many of the rooms or no one was active. I will try getting on soon.

In the meantime, I beg of you to add a no overheat option. It takes effing forever to clean out some of these caves and gods forbid I should leave a single stone behind. If you'd like, take a look at my library and see if there's anything you want. I'd be happy to give to a game I don't play (there are a lot of them) in exchange for your efforts.
Pelayori  [author] 28 Jul, 2020 @ 4:30am 
@Jeffrey C Drywater I don't really have planned any updates but I can maybe add an INI option some day. There is a discord link to my development suite if you wish yo know.
Jeffrey C Drywater 27 Jul, 2020 @ 4:19pm 
If any future updates are planned, would it be possible to add an option to eliminate the overheating? Either way, your work is appreciated.
McHammergeil 13 Jul, 2020 @ 9:10am 
Can u macke this mod Also Reduce the Weight of Crystals?
BullseyeX™ 30 Jun, 2020 @ 5:19pm 
@Pelayori I am on Valguero map rn and I'm wondering why the drill only mines stone from sulfur rock but will mine salt like nothing, I'm trying to use this tool rather than a pick and don't want to carry both for just sulfur
TyrantLyzardKyng 24 May, 2020 @ 8:46pm 
When using this or the vanilla drill I can put gas in and power it up, but upon drilling into anything it just stays in the 'drilling' animation and effect forever. Never breaks the rocks/trees, never gives me anything from the source, etc. I have tried it while using the default settings and gone through about 10 gas straight and nothing.

Very Good mod, but you can't craft this tool without upgraded weight, because you can't hang so much items. But it still very good thing
Sigma Rizzler 29 Apr, 2020 @ 2:31pm 
Does not work with Stacks 2 and doesn't work when trying to mine anything other than trees/bushes on The Island (single player)
Pelayori  [author] 24 Apr, 2020 @ 1:48pm 
@Vas They are float because that's what ark devs made for drill weapon settings, and afaik I can't change them so just adjusting them. I will add the engram now.
Vas 23 Apr, 2020 @ 11:08pm 
Why are the multipliers round numbers rather than integers? Also a higher number would generally mean more. E.G. 3 Fuel Usage is 3x more fuel usage in normal circumstances. Its probably best to keep with the standards so that you don't end up confusing people, thats my input. :P I've still gotta enable this and try it out. Can you add the Engram code for this below your cheat spawn code? I use Engram Whitelist mode in my server because Blacklist doesn't work when you have to blacklist more than 100 items.
Pelayori  [author] 21 Apr, 2020 @ 3:13pm 
Hope you like the new settings! Thank you :)
