Drill Faster
This mod makes drills break ore boulders way faster. Default is 11x, but you can set anything from 0.1x up to 2000x.
Works on Core Keeper 1.3+, dedicated servers (11x default), and multiplayer.
Requires CoreLib Mod.
FEATURES
Waiting 15 hours with 8 drills, or 22 hours with 8 crude ones, for a ore boulder to finally break? Nah, that's way too long. So I made this to move things along.
Change the speed anytime in-game: /drillspeed 11 (local or multiplayer host only).
If you just want it faster without ruining the balance, go with 5x or 11x. If you don't care and want instant results, crank it to the max. You can also slow things down with something like 0.5x if you're trying to balance your setup.
Set it once and it saves automatically. Only affects ore boulders, nothing else.
