How do I use the drill(Not the Handdrill)

[Black Valor]

I am trully confused

You have to attach it to a small ship with sufficient power and movement capabilities.

When you're in the cockpit of your ship, you press G to open up the weapons menu, drag the drill to your hotbar, then use left mouse button to turn the drill on.

Move the drill head close to asteroids to drill them.

Could someone please explain to me how to use the weapons systems, I know it's propabley dead easy and not much different from the drill but I can't figure it out. I get them assighned and turned on and everything but they don't fire :(

what turret. large or small ship?

small ship works same as the drill only select the gun.
large ship fires automaticly at unindentfied or hostile targets. but it needs te be owned by you
( or your factions)


altough the lastest patch allowed us to manually control the (large ship) turret. but your ship needs an antenna. ( i think )

I was talking about the small ship (manual gatling and missile pods), I drag the wepons to the hotbar and select toggle on/off, turn them on but when i click nothing happens, I am in creative so they shouldn't need ammo (thats what the wiki says)

[Kartoshka]

Oh nevermind, i figured it out, i need to go to the wepons tab in the g menu instead of all blocks. but now i can only use one of the 2 rocket pods (both show up in the all blocks menu, but only 1 in the weapons)
