This mod is really cheaty but also really great :D.

Glory to core mining. Tho Im not gonna add it to my save. On some planets I have 50 of them. 10gw of power just to mine them cores lmao.

Oh i'm not even using it on my own save since it'll wreck the balance to a comical degree, another mod of mine (which i also do not happen to use myself) might be a more balanced way to balance core miners: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/se-core-miner-drilling-mud

Note that the 10gw power is only for active drills, if you cannot keep up the power will be managable, likely. :)

Im tempted to make a addod that adds one Big drill that consumes lubricant and iridium drills (they can be reused with some maintanance) to mine entire planet worth of core miners or have another recipy that will use Crio fluid to mine them with 80% of efficency on all drills.

All I need i knowledge of Lua, 3d modeling and factorio modding. If I only I get to it some day xD.

Tho your mod makes using them early game almost imposible considered 250 MV of power to power 1 is a lot.

yea me and a friend have discussed swappable drill bits at one point too but are still in the technical drafting phase on how to pull it off.

true, 250MW is a ton, but then again each miner you place you get full output from, better rush kovarex :3

how about a tech that changes the the drill? just add it to some space stuff(rocket silo or something?)

please make a new thread for new suggestions.
