dude this mod was so awesome, you should so bring it back

Can we get a 1.0 update?

@Atreidi, @Swatti
I've seen rumors on the A16 version of this mod that it works alright in A17:

UPDATE NEEDED!
Can someone take over this mod?

Does it work on A17?

A17 update please!

a17 on its way?

REQUEST: Ability to re-locate the drill. Its kinda pricey so i'd prefer no to deconstruct em.

@Ivannacookie The mod has already been updated this is just for the people that wanna stick to alpha 15 and want this mod in their games.

Here is the Alpha 16 version of the mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=822107128

hey man i love this mod and i don't want to be a pest but... (heres the pest part) when will this be updated or can we run this without the update?

@sans that one literally says in the description it's bsed off this one but even slower and can mine components.

there is a minor typo in the mod, when you do the mining plasteel order it says the pawn is mining plassteel

isnt this just the sustainable drill or does the sustainable drill have this mod in it because the sustainable drill mod has a nonsustainable version and it seems exactly like this

I don't know when I'm going to have the time to propery sit down and do some testing/work on my mods. Life is...not going well at the moment.

In the mean time, you can edit the RecipeDefs in Recipe_Production_CoreDriller.xml and change the workSkillLearnFactor. It's currently set to 0.2 (so, with the work set to 5000 the skill gain is 0.2% or 10). Setting it to 1 would make it 50. 100 would make it 500. Etc.

When my situation improves, I'll try to get some work done but right now I'm not holding my breath.

I know @Rev mentioned the minimal skill amounts, but 10 skill points for a full job seems a "bit" low.

Any chance you could link it either to 'work in progress' xp gain or 'xp per work amount' instead of a flat number?

very cool mod, thank you!

Whoops, I checked, but apparently still missed that. My apologies :P

That is correct. It's in the 3rd paragraph above. Since I'm not changing the core mechanics, the research screen isn't changed. I'll look and see if there's a non-intrusive way for me to add something about it, but I try my best to make my mods change as little of the base code as possible for maximum compatability with other mods.

Since I can't find any mention in the research screen, I assume you only need Deep drilling to unlock these?

Okay, thanks. Really appreciate.

@QuantumX - That's coverted in the FAQ, but short answer is Yes. Anyone's free to use my work. The more mods, the better. And if this helps your mod, then feel free to extend it.

@Rev - I'll look into doing something for that. In the mean time I suggest looking at one of the mods that don't allow a skill to fall past the current level once the XP drops to that. I'll see if I can figure out some better balancing for skills when I get a chance to come back to this mod and implement the features I have in mind.

I really love this mod. It's essential to long term play. But little annoying when I set mining zone, miners prefer to do real mining than drilling. 2500W wasted cause every miners are like to do so.

Well, if there's no way in game mechanic to prioritize drilling, I can bear with it. But the skill experience your miners get seems a little bit small.

My miner has 18 mining skill drilling plasteel, and he can't get more higher than what he already has. I did some math, and seems it's gonna go down to 17 in few days later (well, he has to sleep obviously).

Do you have a plan to boost it up? At least can't be lower than the miner already has?

Hey, i'm creating my own mod, and rather than create my own end game mining solution i would just like to provide an addon for my mod that will make your mod support my mods resources. Would you have any issues with me doing this? Obvisouly i could give credit to this mod for the actual work, as i'm only providing addition recipe defs.

Delete the PublishedField file if you're making a new mod. That's a file that Steam generates for the mod when you upload it.

if anyone could be so kind as to let me know what the PublishedFileId is, that would be amazing,I wanna try something similar to Emmote

Addon support for CorePanda, Powerless!, and Industrialisation can be found here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26355.0

nice mod, but could you make it so that the spot the colonist has to stand in front of the mchine and not inside it? that way you could build a chair for them to sit on

Really appreciate this. I also love how you've made it so easy to make recipe addons for it. I just duplicated your Glitter Tech bolt-on and made it possible to dig up Vancidium and Components just to make life a little easier.
Finally nice to have infinite resources.

Thank you for this mod. I do not want play Rimworld without this mod anymore. Without that mod, i can't play a long game, because of lack of resources.

nice to hear that so i can safely plung it down (once i got those components, always forgett to safe some for the component working table to make them)

You're ok with those stats. It crasahed when I was first developing the mod, but on top of what you have there I also had global mining speed 1000% and global work speed 1000%. That was before it was even released, though. Right now, unless you do something insane like 50000% mining/work speed you won't even come close ot the numbers it would take to throw errors, much less crash it.

so that mean the game crashes with a miner to skilled for it because he pulls to much? i´m playing with glittertech and the advanced protectics and bionics mod so some of my ppl are just insane with their half bionic body like 1800% research and 2300% construction speed

Iei!

You can indeed suggest it. And it sounds interesting. Let me chew the thought a bit and come up with something.

@Theubie may I suggest a modified Ground-Penetrating Scanner that links with the Drill to boost efficiency?

Rofl

A standard 5 skill pawn on normal mining and work speed pulls up very little. Your yelds are based on the in game mechanics for skills, so yeah high skills with bonus will get you more. I like playing on 1000% mining speed because I'm usually rushed to get through a game. My initial settings acutally crashed the game with a high skilled miner. They pulled out over 100k steel. :)

Love this, thank you! Maybe a bit to generous in produced amounts, but then again I am using high skill bionic miners.

Worked perfectly on my save with several mods.

The base game's deep driller has to be placed on a designated spot. When you place it, it mines out only what's there, and what is there has a finite ammount. This one can be placed where you please, and you can give it bills for the various minerals. It's yield is much less than the base game's yield per work cycle, but it is infinite.

Just curious, how is this different than what's in the base game?

just realized ive been working on this for 4 horus XD welp its now 2 am and there went my night hahahaha ohh man lol im headed off , hope this was all somewhat helpful. good tlaking with yah again brother and have a good night.

better then "we both like pizza" XD

hahaha thats awesome! thats a fun common interest!

ohh a nd to restate for clarity it turned out it was anyone working at the moment when the save was first created , not sure if I said that yet or was clear that it wasnt cleaning and huailng in perticuluar or work tab assignment related. just performing any job.

If not, the wife can. She's literally a writer by trade. Goodness knows she volunteers my services enough that I'm owed some payback.

yeah sry its alot to sort through but im updating you as I get more details so its kinda chaotic lol im sure you can peraphrase it all to less of a eye full

and you can always spawn a near identical pawn with same stats and traits and name lol esp if youve prepared carefully using the save pawn feature, if so you can literally just load the same exact pawn again right after.

Cool. When I get a chance to sit down I'll compile all this and update the FAQ.

if you go the death route use the pawn kill NOT the destroy option . there is nothing wrong with their organs and egar and if you destroy to end the count all that goes bye bye, if you absolutly must kill them to save time and save the save then jsut strip the effected pawns after words and try to move on ^.^

its slows it down to pause , i thought i siad that? if i didnt my bad , deff pause as soon as it booots, and activate debug mode on the main menu to save time and have the log opened when going in to the save. It does not stop it completely though unfortunatly , but downing them does stop the count so you wont have to rush to find all the specific injuries to ehal after downing them using the restore body part and heal injury options under Pawn: apply damage (death stops the count to lol )
