Big mining drill is a big brother of Electric mining drill. It has a unique property, the reduction in resource drain by 50%. This means the resource underneath only gets its richness depleted half of the time. In other words, this directly multiplies with the productivity of the drill.

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.
