What mining level do you need for waypoints?

[GameDoggo]

Or do you need a special item to pick them up?

Damage Reduction of 850, so at least 851 to pick them up.

There's a way to get them waaaaay before you can acquire that kind of mining damage. I'm not sure if it's intentional and it might be a turn off for some, so here's a spoiler:

You can pick it up with the basic stationary drills. Use two or three, though. A single one doesn't seem to tick fast enough to get it to break.

Wait, do you use a scarlet drill or a crude one?

Scarlet drill - as of now - seems basically pointless.

Just use crude drill for everything. Including this. Including ore mining.

I am like 60% sure being able to do this with the waypoint is not totally intentional? It seems odd. But maybe it is intentional, who knows.

Do as you wish :)

They drill faster, the wiki has[core-keeper.fandom.com] charts[core-keeper.fandom.com] that you can look at. Once you get some drills on a scarlet and iron boulder they end up paying for themselves pretty quickly.

Not sure, because basic drills often put out more than scarlet.

It's obviously chance-based because not all stacks are the same when I go to collect.
