Drillcone
A Drillcone requires 400 kg Refined Metal and 200 kg Plastic to build it. It can drill Space POI located on the Starmap. It requires Diamond to drill and needs a liquid, gas or solid Cargo Module attached to store the appropriate resources.
Usage
The Drillcone is used to mine resource fields, any mined resource will be stored in its respective cargo bay. While in operation it will mine the resources in the field at 7.5 kg/s consuming 1000 kg of Diamond per every 20000 kg of resources mined, meaning its storage capacity will let it mine 20 tons of resources before running out of diamond after 4,4 cycles. It should be noted that it will stop drilling once the cargo bays are full, even if there is still diamond left.
For the "Mine the Gap" achievement, 50,000 kg of Diamond is required. (1,000,000 kg / 20,000 kg resources / 1,000 kg Diamond)
