mining drill

[SILENTDEATH]

i just wasted so much time and materials setting up 2 mining site's to mine obsidian and lithium just to find out the mining drill's don't extract either of these ore's even when placed in the correct regions. so i ask can we please make this a thing make it so it mine's ALL ORE'S when placed in the correct regions for said ore's. thank you. that is all. now off to destroy about 4 or 5 hours of work all for nothing.

if the drills every ore why ever leave base?

Cold Games is considering this option.

Hi 'SILENTDEATH' ,

Learn to export your 'saveGame' files, and then re-patch your game to an earlier play-time..

This helps to insure against Early Access game bugs, errors, glitches, perma-death, and bad decisions..

Good Luck & Regards

Keeep them and set 1 to bottled water the best source of clean water and can be merged with blueberries to make berry water satisifies hunger as well thirst never expires.
Set anothe dril to iron ore then switch copper and switch to zink you need all these as well.

hence why i said that they still have to be put in the region that the ore is in and also add a long extraction time to the mining process to account for that.

I played this game for a long time, I never thought of mixing water and blackberries. Thanks.

SILENTDEATH, you made a dumb assumption and then tried to blame it on the developer. You could have simply checked the current region's available minerals and compared to the ones in the drill. Do not match.

For pretty much everything else? Not to mention that you can only mine one ore at a time on one mining drill and it's pretty slow even after upgrade. I find it a little strange to be concerned about players just staying at their bases as if you didn't get bored to tears after a few days.

Being able to mine the new ores would help to reduce the need to take the same route to the same regions and stare at the same rocks day after day whenever you need circuit boards. Especially when it comes to lithium. It's not an unreasonable request, especially not of we're talking about only mining in the correct regions, which would make it a late game feature.

ah no i had placed said drill's in the CORRECT AREA'S for what i wanted to mine ie obsidian and lithium and the description of the drill say's " to mine a variety of ore " to which obsidian and lithium are an ore and in no way does it say it can't mine certain ore's . so i should be able to drill said ore with said MINING drill. how is that making a ' Dumb " assumption. you're logic is flawed

When was this mechanic introduced other than in your imagination?
Again, you should have checked the map and the drill. Boom!

mate i really don't think you're reading what i'm saying correctly. BBYhighness get's it

and how could i not assume that when there is obviously a mining mechanic in the game for there to be a mining drill to begin with.

do you think i would spend 4 to 5 hours setting up 2 separate mining base's in 2 separate area's of the map to mine 2 separate ore's located in 2 different area's of the map and not make sure i had them in the right area's just for ♥♥♥♥'s and giggle's.
