#Mining Drill Speed Not Increasing

Did a tiny bit of testing, and I was able to mine approximately 55 dirt blocks in 60s with both base tech and max tech. I also tried repeating this test right after researching a speed upgrade to see if it at least worked until reload, but still got about 55 dirt blocks in the 30s test.

#

So yeah, it seems to do absolutely nothing, ever

Same with olumite productivity. I just don't think the devs have implemented it yet.

I'm pretty sure it works for me. How did you measure it?

#

The reservoir is barely depleting but the pumpjack grabbed 50 in 2s lol

#

It's definitely draining slower. Highest number I see on that tablet is 4147573, but it only lowers to 4147486 despite those pumpjacks working for like 15s in the meantime

Is that video clip not from your play?

arctic girder
#

It is.

#

That shit's barely moving, wdym

#

But you can see it's being drained a lot for what should be 2060%.

#

Each pumpjack pulls 25/s normally. You have 5. That should be 125/s

#

But it doesn't move 125 even after 15s

#

It drops only 87. (I guess it was 13s, checked timestamps again)

#

That matches pretty closely to that efficiency value

arctic girder
#

Hmm. I thought it would work like mining ore, where it just takes the ore for free until 26 times, then it extracts.

#

No, the pumpjack stays the same speed, it just reduces the reservoir slower

arctic girder
#

The description is wrong then.

wheat knoll
#

Might be. It used to be speed but got changed I think in update 1

#

Along with vein mining

arctic girder
#

Gotta go fast.

wheat knoll
#

Though the vein mining one broke with update 2 lol

arctic girder
#

It's broken?

#

Oh right, where it gets to the core and tries to mine other ore miners?

Supposedly. I didn't test it myself, but I saw one from another player draining an actual 1600/m when at their efficiency even going full blast the drill points it had shouldn't have been able to pull more than 1000
