Electric Drill Blueprint

So I have reached the point where everything is automated, except placing electric drill for resource extraction, anybody has a blueprint where it works for most sizes and able to add on, if the resource pile is wide etc.?

For belted mining, this is the one I typically use. It's 8 columns wide and has 336 miners on it, roughly in a square.

It's big enough to cover most ore fields, and if it isn't it's tileable.

It was basically just made from this small blueprint, tiled.

For bot mining, I use this. It's only 6 columns wide, but that's because of how far roboports can reach.

Thanks, pictures would be nice though, as I don't use mods.. I manually create blueprints. I will take a look.

Mods like Blueprint String or Foreman are invaluable. Can't play without them.

But I guess if you're going for achievements, I can understand.
Here are some screenshots.

I am going for the 20m electronic circuit achievement. How efficient is bot mining compared to normal mining? Doesn't it uses heavy on power?

Thanks for taking the effort to take the screenshots!

more solar panel require more electronic circuit boards.

Try to go for 1TWH of power good luck :)

Yeah, it definitely uses more power. You need quite a few roboports to keep all the robots charged, and you can more densely pack miners in so they'll be using more power.

The main thing is ease of use. Putting down a train station for bot loading and unloading is far quicker than belting one.

With belts you have to put your mining blueprint down, and a station blueprint, then combine all mining belts, balance them and join them to the station.
Bot mining you just put the miners blueprint down, a bot loading station, a few roboports between the miners and the station (for more efficient recharging) and that's that.

How many bots will it roughly need?

Depends on the size of the field and how much research you've put into robots. With (vanilla) fully researched speed and capacity, you'd need about 150-200 robots, maybe 250 for really big deposits.
With less research done, you'll need more bots.
