2014

I get a critical error and it doesn't load.

Yes, it still works, but the textures don't so it doesn't look right.

Does this mod still work?

I can finally make a realistic-ish tunnel bore

ok it's up.

@SultonMRP I would say put it up, and if he says anything take it down, it looks like he has not looked on here for a long time

@Hex, I made updated version of ya drill mod including large grid version. Just want to see if it is ok to release it :3

Hey mate, it seems the drill no longer functions properly, it breaks the block behind it. would you mind updating it? id love for this to be fully functional

@Hex you around?

This one is dead, isn't it?

@kenja Cool

The drill still functions, it just needs some texture tlc, which I'm currently giving a copy of it.
Or, rather I'm doing an overhaul, as I intend to update the model to be more in line with the current vanilla look.

Wish this was updated.

this mod is long dead and gone.

Pls Update ... i love this Mod

anyone know what happened to the DX 11 version?

DX 11:

I love it... I love it to drill quadratic holes... I would love to see it as a DX11 mod... Plsssssss!!!.... :-D

glad you will updating to dx11 sooner or later, I love this drill for its accuracy it's the perfect tool for drilling tunnels into 'roids I want to use as a base.

Yeah I liked using these along the sides of my mining cube, but if possiable DX11, please

Work out those specifics yet?

Tri-sack

I plan on updating, but I first need to work out some specifics regarding the update.

Planing on updating to DX11? I love these for making Giant detachable drill heads.

Howdy Hex, I have posted a world with your mod in it, Here is the link, Can you or do you know how to automate this using your miniature drill?

Add in a API request on the keen forums if they are reasonable they usually get implemented within one or two updates

@Sierra I was unable to change dig rates and shake, all I was able to change was the area the drill mines out. I would have liked to make it shake considerably less, but it just wasn't possible.

I feel like the shake should be lower than the standard drill but it should have a slower dig rate (is that configurable?). I imagine this is useful for drilling drones, which will not be able to control shake as much so no point making it harder than it already is).

I'm interested in how a drill of this shape works from a technical perspective.

Seconded need a large block version this would make a great side cutter for my mole miner since it can be recessed flush with the armor and still have the cutting head exposed to widen the tunnel.

can you make a large block version 3x3x1or 2

Most AWESOME tunnel/mass excavator ever when used corectly

I particularly like how the drill meshes up nicely with the small-port sides of the medium cargo container. Kudos on this mod!

can you change the drill head shpe a bit more it wold be cool to have mine drill heds on the balls

I did not know that thank you very much for mentioning it i shall be building some test drillers for it soon.
If all works well you may have handed me what i needed for my attachment drillers and anti astroid base bombs.

It works fine as a tunnel digger, the area mined is in no way linked to the size of the drill head.

Looks great.
However you should reduce the size of the frame of the drill and increase the size of the balls.
Otherwise this will never work as a tunnel digger.

@Hex i think they will add that in the future but fot now here a suggestion:

make it a corner drill (it can drill forward and as an example left, size would be then 3x3x3 or 4x4x4

I can only have the drill point out forward, not diagonally. I'd like to add that kind of drill, but I just can't.

Any chance that you could make an angled version of this? I'd like to make a sphere-like ship covered in these drills and have it fully automated, bouncing around asteroids like a psychotic balloon, eating up the asteroid and ejecting the ore in to space (to be collected by a nearby gravity funnel).
mmmm, drone mining *drools*
It doesn't matter if the ship suffers from drill-shaking when the internally-enclosed thrusters are controlled automatically by sensors to make the thing continually move towards detected asteroid voxels. ^_^

a cant think of anything to use these blocks for they just dont work with there model for my plans sadly

I'm dreaming of a shaking free drill, so i can do cool stuff with them.

To be fair.. this is perfect on the sides of the ships.. main drills at the front and these as 'bumpers' :P

If the radius it drill is less than the block size kind of defeats the purpose of drilling..just my thought..nice work though.

could you make a large welder with really big range (or a welder ring ), would be cool for autoassembling a ship. the ring should have enough space to fit 4x4 blocks trough and weld them also.

only large ships/station

Smaller versions of the welder/grinder would be too difficult to see the ends of, and would lack the downside that this small drill has (shaking). However, if I come up with a nice idea I might make them.

Nice Mod! Do you have plans for a smaller version of the welder block too?

Good job keep up your work!

1. I actually checked the wrong CubeBlocks file when checking the price, it's considerably cheaper.
2. I'm already making the drill radius bigger, but not by much.
3. I can't separate it into another weapon, and it's easier to have it on "Drill" anyways.
