	The '''big mining drill''' is ~~the~~ stronger and larger ~~big brother~~ of the [[electric mining drill]]. It has the unique property of reducing resource drain from mining by 50%, which means the resource underneath the drill's mining area only has its richness depleted half of the time. This effect directly multiplies with the [[productivity]] of the drill in terms of the amount of resources that can be extracted from a single patch. The big mining drill is also able to mine harder ores such as [[Tungsten ore\|tungsten]] that the lower tier mining drills cannot. Much like the electric mining drill, it is able to use [[fluids]] via [[pipe]] connection.		The '''big mining drill''' is a stronger and larger iteration of the [[electric mining drill]].

There is a light attached to the front of the mining drill that will change colors depending on its status:

[[File:light_green_prev.png]]   Green light = The drill is currently functioning without issues.

[[File:light_yellow_prev.png]]   Yellow light = The drill's ability to dispense resources is blocked, it is low on power, it is disabled by the [[circuit network]] or it is missing the fluid required to mine the current resource.

[[File:light_red_prev.png]]   Red light = The drill has completely run out of resources to mine.
