The Solar Drill can mine entire deposits of aluminum and tungsten in seconds, significantly speeding up resource extraction. Depending on the formula used in its manufacture, the Solar Drill can increase yields of copper, tin, iron, aluminum and tungsten ores by 15%, 25% or even 40%.


As the name suggests, the Solar Drill uses solar energy to function, making it virtually indestructible. However, it is important to keep an eye on its energy levels, especially at night. When the Solar Drill’s durability starts to drop, it can be destroyed. To prevent this, charge the Solar Drill before its battery runs out by storing it in your hotbar during the hours of sunshine.
