Logistics Mining Drill

A battery powered drill that inserts mining contents directly into an internal active provider chest. Any nearby logistics robots will take away the mined ores and bring it to where they are needed. Battery power is consumed after about 2 minutes, and must be recharged. Most useful with the Logistics Mining Hub.

Logistics Mining Hub

When placed near an ore deposit, the mining hub begins coordinating construction of logistics mining drills on the ore deposit via construction robots. As mining drill battery power runs out, it will automatically deconstruct them and replace them with any available charged logistics mining drill. Never bother laying down tedious electric mining drills or conveyer belt systems again.

Charged Batteries

Regular batteries can be charged in assembling machines. Charged batteries and electric mining drills are needed to create a Logistic Mining Drill.

Charging Assembling Machine

A specialized assembling machine that can super-charge batteries very quickly, at very high power usage. Unlocked with Automation-4
