The electric mining drill mines out iron ore, copper ore, uranium ore, stone and coal, and places it in front of the output tile, on a belt or in a machine or chest that covers the output tile.

The machine is 3×3, but mines in a 5×5 area, extending 1 tile away on each side. Mines copper ore, iron ore, coal, or stone at a rate of 0.5/s and uranium ore at a rate of 0.25/s.

When placed over uranium ore, which requires sulfuric acid to mine, three fluid connectors will appear on the mining drill. The mining drills will pass excess sulfuric acid to each other when these connectors are aligned, allowing multiple drills to be placed right next to each other with only one pipe input necessary to feed all of them.

Indicators

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

Light green prev.png   Green light = The drill is currently functioning without issues.

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.

Light red prev.png   Red light = The drill has completely run out of resources to mine.
