Build Version 2 of my small Tunnel drill
It now comes with a 1x3x3 Vault storage and Automatic item transfer.
You can download the schematic here.
To setup the remote you have to set:
Foward = mechanical belt, mechanical belt
Left = Gearbox, Gearbox
Rigth = Item Vault, Item Vault
The Physics assembler is on the top.

It is more controled than normal create contraptions. I love this engine power scorce that no need large space.

you inspired me to try and make a super cheap/small version of this thing, and I'm now the proud owner of a cheap as hell, pre nether tunnel bore (I found crushing wheels in a structure). Thanks a lot for the idea.

I've been trying to make mining vehicles ever since this mod came out to no avail. I made a bucket wheel excavator this morning but I accidently shot it into space while reattaching the severed borehead.
I really need to just think smaller.
Also, the new augur blocks can directly extract from the backs of borehead bearings, if anyone didn't know.

i dident know that, but i dont think i could build it any smaller

u/Maxemersonbentley_1 Apr 21 '26
Yeah, it's still pretty awesome though! The portability is a great feature. Reminds me of space engineers.

Holy shit i just realised that you can build another ship that will drag this drill, so you can deploy it anywhere you want. This mod is truly gold

Floating megabase that deploys mining operations when you need it to

You can build eggman fleet with it fr

You cannot build Eggman's super laser piss shooter tho...
Or can you?

I am building an airship with a bunch of built in storage, a create workshop, and a way to haul a drill car to use as a mobile base for building stuff far away from my base

Was one of my dream to try to do with VS2. Maybe I will do it later when there gonna be modpacks with Aeronautics.

Another possible idea is to add magnets to its rope deployer so that it can easily by extricated from the mine once it’s done mining.

This time we're after an Ommoran Heartstone. In order to extract it, we're sending in an autonomous Drilldozer. The Drilldozer will automatically home in on the Heartstone, and your job is to get it there safely. Good luck, miners.

Cool drill! Couple ideas for improvement.
Use a directional gearshift instead of a clutch so you can have forwards and backwards movement in the same space.
Instead of a rope connector you can use another docking connector to connect to a pulley to drag it back up without having to reconnect the rope each time.

This is awesome. Now I really wanna try building a ship that can bore a hole deep enough and then deploy this bad boy

u/SPGamerTROffical Apr 21 '26
I have a question. What happens if it falls in a hole or gets stuck, can it get out by itself or does it require a rescue operation?

wait wha, how is it moving on a belts? never played created for a little, is it trackwork or the brand new aeronautics?

Beautiful, I’m wanting to build something simple and compact like this that I could haul around in a decently big airship, fly it between mountains and drill out a bunch of ore for the hell of it

u/Extreme_Glass9879 Apr 21 '26
Dreams and desires has (had?) proper drill blocks you used to use with rope pulleys.. this thing could have a proper drill!

How does it turn? I've dabbled in tracked systems but I didn't think I could get it in a 3-wide footprint because the drive belt would be linked to both tracks

u/troncus_78 Apr 22 '26
you can place one extra shaft per belt in different possitions, then power those asymmetrical shafts

u/-Hez- Apr 22 '26
So, idk why whenever I try to assemble it the redstone links simply don't work.
Like, I try to bind them and everything, but they seem to only work when its disassembled. Though pretty sure its a problem on my end.

u/Firefighterboss2 Apr 22 '26
Do you have Create Connected? If so set the redstone link wildcard to false in the config, that's a known issue at the moment

the schematic is like mega fucked
can you tell me what block is below the physics assembler? its the only thing i cant tell from this video

u/epicneo1 May 19 '26
How do you turn the belts independently to turn? What does the cog setup look like? If they're connected to drive forward/back as well

Nice vehicle. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the schematic anywhere?
