Usage[]

Drilling[]

To use a drill, it first must be powered with coal or petrified petroleum, either manually or via its conveyor input with a coal totem. Doing so will power the drill for approximately 30 seconds. Drills can only drill copper or gold deposits, and after placing it on top of a deposit and powering it, it will start extracting copper or gold ore respectively and output it from its output conveyor. It takes 5 seconds to extract a copper ore and 2 minutes to extract a gold ore.
