Gunant's Drill is a high-performance mining laser designed by Gunant Breh.
In-Game Description[]
This drill was designed by the Mido scrap dealer Gunant Breh. It is an incredibly powerful device, and if it ever achieves mass-market adoption, it could potentially end up putting IMT out of business.
Characteristics[]
The cost of the blueprint and its materials justifies the performance of this Gunant's drill. Its 100% yield means that a maximum of 62t of ore can be extracted from a class-A asteroid. The 100% handling means that control of the drill head is more precise, not 'overreacting' to sudden changes in movement, making core mining easier. However, its handling does not mean that the drill is resistant to the regular misalignments.
As with all mining lasers, the rate of acquiring ore is slow, but increases the closer it digs towards the center of the asteroid.
At the beginning of the game, Keith's Betty was installed with one, before being replaced by the IMT Extract 1.3 after Maxwell is done with the mining.
Blueprint[]
The blueprint for this equipment can be obtained in the Mido system, at the Var Hastra station once the Khador Drive has been constructed. The price for this blueprint is $129,999.
- 90t Nanotech
- 80t Mechanical Supplies
- 90t Hydraulics
- 10t Titanium Core
- 40t Titanium
It costs $138,375 to autocomplete the blueprint on Easy and Normal difficulty, but $281,562 on Extreme.
Economics[]
Maximum cost of construction per item: $35,870 (low) - $86,760 (high) The Gunant's Drill sells for $211,171 in Loma. Its production costs 86710 Credits using 310t of Items. Resulting in a net gain of $124,461 or 401 Credits per ton or 144%.
Trivia[]
- Gunant claims that he had actually started marketing his own drill, though he does not go further for the details, and since IMT drills were still commercially avaliable. he may not be as successful.
- It is possible to remove the drill at the start of the game by somehow glitching inside the hangar just before Gunant has an opportunity to talk, allowing the item to be dismounted and kept for free even before its blueprint becomes obtainable.
