Electric mining drill

Electric mining drill/infobox

The Electric mining drill mines out Iron ore, Copper ore, Stone and/or Coal, and places it in front of the output tile, on a conveyor or in a machine/chest that covers the output tile.

The machine is 3x3, but mines in a 5x5 area, extending 1 tile away on each side. Mines copper, iron and coal at a rate of 0.525/s and stone at a rate of 0.65/s.

As of version 0.15, when placed over Uranium ore, which requires Sulfuric acid to mine, three fluid inputs will appear on the mining drill. The mining drills will pass excess sulfuric acid to each other when these inputs are aligned, allowing multiple drills to be placed right next to each other with only one pipe input necessary to feed all of them.
