Tunnel Bore

Description
Interplanetary Boring Company Presents: Tunnel Bore

By re-purposing some abandoned technology, the Interplanetary Boring Company (no relation to the Earth based company) has been able to produce some excellent tools for the survivor to automate some aspects of their defense.


Details

Each boring machine will operate up to 256 blocks in the direction they are facing, and bores extremely quickly. They only destroy garbage blocks, including Reinforced blocks, and leave all ores, machines, and other types of blocks alone.

Each block removed costs 10 power, and each machine operates one layer at a time. In the case of the stair case, this is up to 140 blocks per second. Air blocks consume no power.

Unlike the BFL, these machines can be safely rotated after placement, and they will correctly bore in any orientation (including upside down, vertically, or sideways).


Stair Case Tunnel Bore

A great tool able to dig a stair case pattern with a base of 5 blocks, and height of 10. This works well for funneling melted cryoplasm into a dazzler trench.


3x3 Tunnel Bore

Quickly digs in a 3x3 pattern. Can be used to rapidly dig dazzler trenches.

So this doesn't even cause removed blocks to drop for players to pick up? That sucks.

I too would like the option to not destroy the blocks so I can convert them to paste. The quarry is good for that, I know.

Yes I am very aware of what you can and cant do in the game as I was one of the people helping DJ with it.

You're aware you can hook up a coal vein to a paste grinder, right?

You would be surprised how much paste blocks I use ;) and having the extra blocks to turn into paste is always a good thing.

That could absolutely be implemented, and you could grab the source and do that if you wanted... realistically though, do you really need the junk blocks by that point in the game?

I wish there was a way that you could toggle between "Destroy" blocks and "Break" blocks.

Yes, it’s not stopped by cryp, but doesn’t destroy it

Can this go through (as in shoot through, without destroying) cryo?

So far, this seem to be the only thing that can replace BFL-9000 that was mothballed.
That thing cleared everything in a 3x3, except hard resin. I wouldnt mind such function out of the box tbh
