[Deprecated] Planetary Drill

Description
Deprecation notice: Newer versions are maintained by Mlie and can be found > here <

Ever wanted to drill ALL items that exist in the game, including items added by other mods? Now you can! Want to drill beer or corpses or explosives? You can!

This version also comes with an extensive dynamic settings menu so you can balance your own gameplay.


Technical info:
  • Uses both XML and C#.
  • Has no dependencies, doesn't even use HugsLib.
  • Can be safely added to an existing game.
  • Before removing this mod from an existing game, please make sure that you destroyed all structures from this mod first, stop any research in progress from this mod and that you are not ordering the creation of new structures from this mod. Also make sure that you destroyed any minified structures from this mod (if any) and that you do not have any pawns with a work-order for the Planetary Drill.
  • Translation-ready.
  • Before removing drillable items through the settings menu, please remove any bills that are drilling that items first (this should be common sense). If you don't, it'll create a one-time error that can be safely ignored the next time you load your savegame.
  • Disabling some filters and adding items to drill that the Rimworld devs did not intend you to ever spawn, will of course raise errors but I gave you the ability to add them anyway.

Troubleshooting:
Basic trouble shooting guide (click here).
Please at least give me an error log (post it on pastebin[pastebin.com] or something) if you have any kind of error and also check your warnings. Too many players who have a large amount of terribly-coded-mods that cause problems and because they crash (internally), my code doesn't get executed. This is NOT a compatibility problem either.

Supported mods:


FAQ:
Q: I can only drill the default ores?
A: Modify what items you can drill through the game's mod settings menu.

Q: Drilling some items gives me an error?
A: This drill can literally drill every item in existence. I filtered some unusable items out but mods and Rimworld updates might add new items that were never meant for direct use in the game. Fix: Just don't add those items through the mod menu.


Todo list:
  • Animated and/or better graphics (lacks funding or I need a volunteer artist).
  • Open config folder cross-platform.
  • Make the power consumption setting realtime (not requiring saving & loading).

Yeah I believe you are right. Even with the continued version the bills tab only shows none.

I also suspect a mod conflict.

update: Tried loading through all ten of my saves again with the continued version. Thankfully one of the older saves worked! This save was just before the second drill was built. If that matters?

It only happened after I installed this, built the drill, then switched to using the new version. Im really not sure why or how it happened. I expected for the drill to either disappear or work fine. Instead I can no longer load that world because the drill is there. Even if I just try to load just this. Really makes no sense.

I highly doubt that it's caused by this mod but even if, you should contact the author who continued this mod instead. I also highly advise you to include a log file because otherwise this will just be considered a false report.

So I installed this mod, realized it could not be used via no options in game, tried to remove it then installed the fixed version. Now my save file wont load.

I asked Mlie to continue my mod. The newer versions can from now on be found here:

Pawns will not even interact with the drill either. When you click on it it shows no bills when you select a pawn and try to get them to interact with it it does nothing

Since the last update I am unable to get the drill to work. I have changed load order, deleted all my bills and reset them up, and uninstalled and reinstalled the game. One other thing is that no matter what I do to the steel cost it stays the same after saving and open and closing. Not sure if the update to change the steel caused it or what but this is broke for me. Doesn't work = no bills show up to drill for.

Hilarious, going to roleplay crashlanding on a booze planet and constantly drill for booze.
