No information menu with EXM drill

[redswampfox]

I've been trying to use the EXM drill on the Legau EXM 300A and I can operate it but I don't have an information window telling me drill depth and material. Is there a keystroke I need to use that I haven't been able to find or am I bugged? Any ideas would be helpful, at this time I'm out of my own.

Go into 3rd person view and maneuver the camera to the side view of the drill, there is a sign that reads out depth and the material, similar to the sign on the dumptrucks that tell you the load amount %

How do you attach the drill attachment to an excavator?

[ZomBeGone]

You have to place the attachment on the ground, then move the excavator to line up with how it is attached, then go into the "i" menu (i am pretty sure, same as fueling). There should be a button to attach it.

Now if I can figure out the drill controls i'll be golden.

You probably want to remap the controls. When I used the excavator I used a combination of keyboard and controller. I used the WASD to move, and laid the controller on the desk and used the two joysticks to control the excavator. (i hate the controller)
For the loader, I mapped the keypad keys to control the bucket and WASD for moving.

I was very unimpressed/disappointed by the excavator and the dozer, so I tend to use just the loader and tunneler with conveyors and explosives. I hope they fix them on the next big update.

It was there for me to find all along, but the way they write the menu sometimes causes me to miss things "rotate tool 1/raise drill attachemetn" etc

You move the boom as close to the drill hookup point as possible and hit Q I believe
