Configurable Mining Drills


Change mining speed & area size for all Mining Drills, pumping speed for all Pumpjacks by a factor. Energy use and pollution rate auto-scale to preserve game balance. Option for simpler uranium mining (not cheaty). Based on the mods "Instant Mining Drill" by darkfrei and "Mining Drill Bigger Area" by jackar. Has greatly improved mod compatibility.

This mod adds the option to multiply the mining speed and mining area size for all Mining Drills (including those from mods) by a configurable amount (as of v.0.3.0, a separate option for all Pumpjacks has been added). Power/fuel consumption as well as pollution rate automatically scale to preserve game balance. The mod has an option to allow simple uranium mining, where the need for sulfuric acid is instead moved to the uranium processing stage in the centrifuge (this solves the rare problem of uranium blocking the mining of other resources).

The mod is primarily a fork of Instant Mining Drill by darkfrei, with a smaller addition from Mining Drill Bigger Area by jackar.


Tips on other mods:

  • Cursed Filter Mining Drill by L0771 provides a filter tool for mining drills, which is especially useful for mining drills covering a large area (keep in mind that the applied filter disappears if the mining drill is replaced/upgraded).
  • Tiny mining drill by Brathahn is useful for accurately mining just one resource with a 1x1 mining drill. This mod has been updated to not change that size.

Read FAQ about compatibility. Greatly improved for other mods as of version 0.1.1.
