# Overview
\nDeep Drilling is an addon to Create that adds rare “Ore Nodes” throughout the world, yielding different resources based on the biome.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
_Boulders of crimsite (iron), veridium (copper), ochrum (gold), and asurine (zinc) respectively_<\/p>\n
Construct large drills, augment them with modules and drill heads, then fuel your factory with unlimited resources extracted from the very center of the earth!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
_Minimise the upkeep cost of replacing heads, obtain only building blocks, or maximise SPEED_<\/p>\n
# Features
\n– **Ore Nodes** generate in the world
\n – Each variant appears in only specific biomes
\n – This encourages exploration and the creation of multiple outposts to exploit each type
\n– A new specialised **Drill**
\n – The only tool powerful enough to exploit these Ore Nodes
\n – Requires kinetic power and…
\n– … **Drill Heads**
\n – Each one has differing durabilities, speeds, resource qualities, and production costs
\n – Andesite is inexpensive and easily automatable without drilling, but slow
\n – Copper is very fast with more durability, but can only produce building blocks
\n – Brass is fast with a high amount of durability and better resource output, but costs a lot to produce
\n – Drill Heads can be improved with fortune, efficiency, and unbreaking enchantments
\n– Attach **Modules** for even more output
\n – Up to 5 can be placed onto a drill at once
\n – The **Collection Filter** is a near necessity, preventing drops from spewing onto the ground
\n – The **Sludge Pump** allows Drill Heads to function faster while taking less damage, but loses quality drops to wasteful Sludge
\n – The **Drill Overclock** greatly increases drilling speed but causes Drill Heads to take more damage
\n – _(definitely more to come: nuance and options are cool, objective metas are boring)_<\/p>\n
