Research Data
The Drill is a Tier 5 excavation tool unlocked for 2,500 Gold after researching both the Rocket Launcher and Florinol Battery. It spends Energy to deal close-range Drilling damage to hard materials.
The official Research page is marked work in progress. These facts reflect the version checked August 24, 2026 and may change with game updates.
Drill: Confirmed Function
Drilling damage is the confirmed mechanism for terrain that ordinary Digging tools cannot remove. Official pages list Stone, Copper Ore and Crackstone among relevant hard targets, while the research dependency explains why an Energy storage system must exist before the tool unlocks.
Setup and Production Role
Charge the Florinol Battery network, move close to the hard layer and apply the Drill only to the section that blocks the intended route or exposes needed ore. For work at a distance use the Laser instead; the Drill's documented advantage is its direct short-range role, not remote excavation.
Limits and Verification
The sources do not state Energy consumed per second, damage rate, exact reach, excavation width or comparative efficiency against the Laser. They also do not provide upgrade values, so no runtime or blocks-per-charge estimate is presented as verified.
