About Dirt Printer

Could it be more durable? or make it out of battery instead of popping like a balloon, it's pretty frustrating when I focus on the build and it pops into ashes, then I gotta start over the day again.

Yep, but I wish it could be more durable, and the charger unit takes time

I too am bugged with this. I love terraforming to the point I build 2 dirt printers so one can charge while the other is on use. Compressor has a much more durable bar.

I also use about 8 shovels because the compressor can't do what shovels do. And when they all get near the end I put on a chest of only shovels to get 8 more shovels. When all of them are at the end I repair all at once with a repair kit.

I'd also would like to suggest they make the wheelbarrow faster or easier to navegate. It's a pain and at this point I prefer to just use a bunch of shovels

I just made the Printer today and I was also really surprised at how quickly it depleted. I've been using the jackhammer for weeks before getting the charger and it never ran out (lasted through 3 trips to the deep mines), but the Printer is out of juice after flattening an area equal to just 1 or 2 advanced sprinklers.

I don't mind, really, since it's still way faster than shovels and wheelbarrow which I had been using/enjoying for a while. But it's also a lot more expensive and feels a bit stressful having to make sure I never break it.

It would be nice if it would just stop working at 1 durability or if there was a way to swap battery packs instead of recharging the whole tool.
