[Question] Drill Head Internal Storage

[Bomoo]

Am I correct in assuming that the drill head "remembers" partial nuggets it's collected? Like the astrodude's deformer tool. Or do I have to carry separate drill heads for titanium and ilthium so I don't waste any?

Thanks.

That was a suggestion I had to solve the problem of partials becoming useless and it appears from videos I see that the drill head no longer uses the crane storage slots so it can be assumed that the drill head has an internal 'quantum compression' chamber for storage of partials now.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a definite answer rather than assumptions.

Here ya go, confirmation. It has internal storage. 3 items without problem.
It uses the crane 2 slot storage first, then when that fills up it drops it on the ground or uses the other storage pods on the rest of the connected rovers.

So I don't understand. Regarding that screenshot, does the crane 'understand' to use your truck's storage? Or does it drop everything on the ground as soon as its meager 2 slots are occupied.

Because certain buildings like smelter and fuel condenser do understand the storage addons attached to them and use them properly. Why doesn't the crane? Or does it

Yes, the crane understands extra storage or I should say the drill head, the crane is just an articulating arm with 2 slots of storage build into it, it doesn't do anything complex. It will fill up any empty slots, once empty slots are full then it starts dumping them on the ground like all other machines.

All right man, thanks. From now on I can be more comfortable with the drill then.

Also hi Bomoo xD
