Deep Drilling Neoforged

The addon works alongside Create and adds a specialised drill that is the only tool strong enough to exploit Ore Nodes. Each Ore Node is placed rarely in the world, and the resource it yields depends on the biome where it generates. Several materials can come out of these nodes, and the drilling pulls them from the center of the earth.

Large drills are built from a base and drill heads, and modules can be added to them. Each head differs in durability, speed, resource quality and production cost. Andesite heads are inexpensive and can be automated, but they drill slowly. Copper heads are fast and durable but only produce building blocks. Brass heads are fast, have high durability and better resource output, but cost a lot to produce. Players who want to keep upkeep low can replace heads less often and aim for speed.

The drill heads require kinetic power, so Create Fabric must be installed; it is a required dependency. Deep Drilling Neoforged runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
