Talk:Drills

Every 150 or so "turns" of the driller it stops working until you reclick the mouse button, but as useal, need confirmation from someone else aswell.
 * I can confirm this, but it was around 125 for me. Only tested the cobalt drill, the only one I have so far. And please, sign your comments by putting  --~  at the end. --190.55.92.154 03:10, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Well actually it is not the number of blocks. After 1 minute of pressing the mouse button the drill will stop, mining or not.So it is either sort of an anomaly as in overheating or a bug. --Faya Pendragon 10:14, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

"Drills may mine slightly slower than pickaxes because they are not affected by melee-speed modifiers. Players who want to maximize mining speed should avoid using drills, because the benefits provided by melee speed enhancements apply only to pickaxes."
