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.

either way i should be able to mine ALL ore's with the drill even if i had to place drill's all over the map to get a certain ore type's. that's the point i'm trying to make with out the ♥♥♥♥ hitting the fan.

SILENTDEATHYou could have simply checked the current region's available minerals and compared to the ones in the drill. Do not match.

mate you're the only one here arguing. no one else is. and so far no one is agreeing with you

That point was made numerous times when this update dropped. CG has said he is considering it but needs to work out how much ore to drill according to the level of ore found in that specific region.
Also, I wouldn't go destroy the drills. Just use them to drill other things for now. That way they are already in place if CG does add the ores to them.

yeah some one else suggested the water and berry thing but unfortunately i already destroyed them. well if it does become a thing at some point then i will look at that venture again but i'm not going to wast hour's and materiel's till then. the fact that this problem is a problem for a lot of people not just me means that it should be a thing and should have being a thing since the mining drill was brought to the game. but hey it is what it is and like many i'm just going to have to wait for it to become a thing.

Not arguing. I'm just showing how some people turn a feature request and spin it into a drama that they've created themselves based on a non existing mechanic.

Silentdeath it was completely common sense to craft mining drills for the new ores. Even I did it lol But I'm leaving them there :)

lol yeah i don't like hindsight very much. i can always rebuild any way when it does become a thing.

Cold Games should do more then consider this. A) promotes travelling / map exploration. B) adds ways to expand your bases and try new locations. this one thing can make such a difference. also they should reduce repair costs of make those mats farm-able eg cotton and such. That's my 10 cents

yeah well considering i built my base on the top lake and had 2 separate mining stations in 2 different area's way up in the hill's assuming that's what i had to do in order to mine for certain ore's since there is some what of a " mining Drill mechanic " there. then it's already worked and it's not even a thing yet and it's working in that regard lol. i don't mind having to travel to collect the mined ore's it just suck's when you can spend like 3 or 4 in game days for a low yield of 20 or 30 ore when i can set a drill and go off and get other time consuming task's done. i don't care if it still take's a chunk of time for the drill to do it's thing that don't bother me there is a metric crap ton of other thing's i can do while i'm waiting.
