Noa Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Mining Drill I went to genesis with my main to learn engram for mining drill. Back on island and crafted it and ofc tried it. Don't work under water in sea so no idea how to mine oil. As is engram from genesis i was sure it will as genesis have ocean biome After use only way to stop sound is to relog. It cost too much to craft it.( you need to have black pearls, cementing paste, hard polymer,,crystals, metal and such mats) Duration ( primitive) is 700. It consume a lot of gasoline. Around 30 gasoline till decayed. And it cost too much to repair too. After sea experiment (cat use it) i went to volcano to try it for obsidian and metal. I come back to base with almost empty argentavis. Its during event - harvesting is x3. Drill have very bad efficiency. Compared to Ankylosaurs drill is big NO to use. With ankylosaurs i could get about 2500 kg of metal and obsidian. It have weight reduction for two things. Raw metal 200 = 50. Stone 100 = 12.5 No reduction on crystals. No reduction on obsidian. And last chance where it could potentially be used is also NO - no weight reduction on metal ingots.. Also i tried it on live and on dead Tek Parasaur with NO effect. Well hoped in some kind of super efficiency to collect elemental dust. This tool is practically misleading, inefficient, it have too high cost to craft and repair and it consume too much gasoline. Maybe in future if someone find element node on island lol. What do you guys think about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in future if someone find element node on island lol. What do you guys think about? I think it is way OP right now. You'll get a weight reduction on most basic materials (wood, thatch, stone, metal ore, etc). This let's me carry well over 1k metal on a 400 weight character which is pretty retarded. Mining red crystals with it in the volcanic area will yield you easily 1-1.5 element worth of shards per node. It is also useable from the back of your tames like a crossbow. This makes farming with a Ferox a very quick adventure. The drill on its own is far more flexible than any combo of anky with (argent/quetz/crab) as you can reach very tricky spots with ease as you simply need to aim at the desired rock. Combine it with a gasbags for maximum yield. Since I started on Genesis, I didn't bothered taming any of the usual farming creatures as I easily out-farm them with the basic model. Anky is too slow and weak to face any of the x-creatures on its own, especially in the volcanic biome. Mammoth/Thorny won't keep up with it as I use a chainsaw to farm the wood, then toggle the drill for the reduction and move around on my own (175% run speed) or with the Ferox. I think the cost of the item is fine as is and it wasn't even challenging to get the mats. You can get the pearls from the volcano by hand collecting the clams, killing eurypterids in the ocean and/or buy them with hexagons. Dodo-basket is easy-peasy hexagons for your ressources.... ----------------------------------- - I would reduce the weight reduction from 4 to 2, just as to keep farming dinos relevant. - Increase the overheating rate. - The drill itself should be very heavy as to limit what you can carry with it.

RageQuitter Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I've been using it on the island and love it, don't bother using an anky or doed now, only issue is the noise won't go away when you un-equip it so either have to re-log or transfer to another server and back, doesn't happen on Rag though, think there was a similar bug with chainsaws a couple of years ago?

Yes, if you forget to turn it off before mounting a creature, you'll get the sound bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZScruffy Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 ... came here looking for solution to sound bug.. which very much breaks the game for me. Can't find one, so found my own solution. Doesn't remove sounds completely, but makes it MUCH quieter and bearable to continue playing: Delete the sound file, problem half solved: MiningDrill_Idle_Cue.uasset s_miningdrill_idle.uasset The level of incompetence at Wildcard is extraordinary lol Literally exactly the same bugs keep repeating themselves. You'd think they'd learn after solving the same bug the first time. But no, they just keep releasing new DLCS with all the same bugs as the last one, and the one before that... Boggles the mind. Then they release a dozen updates, none of which fix the bugs they ALREADY have solutions for from last time they fixed the same bug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliteQuarmada Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It gathers at 1x. My 200% melee with a pick is more efficient. On the evolution event it gathered at 1x when it was supposed to be 3x. It's broken actually, not overpoowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My anky and doeds will come back to base in one run with more materials than 10 runs with my 350 weight character and the drill. I just started using it and it’s so disappointing.. only use that makes it worth carrying in your inventory is if you were mining the red crystal in lava area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every map I play on I start with a fresh brand new map every time I log in. And my in game settings get reset every time I log in since aberration, now with genesis not only do I still have to deal with that problem, they screwed up the map settings as well, every time I restart the application the map settings are reset. Being they never fixed it before I would bet anything they never fix the new and improved setting reset problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverKlohzov18 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 but it's not insanely good but it is definitely handy.. don't have to carry around an any if u just need quick mats.. weight spider and that, you're good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanballan Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I spawned in an Ascendant Mining drill on my single player and it was no better than a primitive one. The only thing that was better was the durability. But it was also very expensive to repair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb68 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 something seems to of gone fishy with mine... its a apprentice one but... lunar... the only thing it seems to collect for me now is stone.... bog biome... the only thing it seems to harvest at a good rate is .... thatch... its now actually getting lower rates of everything that it collects (except thatch in the bog) then using primative metal picks and axes.

Ferno Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Works just fine. I see tons of people going around on official with kangaroos and a mining drill to farm super fast. If you die while farming, you wont take a huge loss either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
