Continuous excavation rates and cosmic reach
The Nebula Drill is an endgame mining tool that uses continuous rotary excavation to penetrate subterranean rock. Boasting 225% pickaxe power, the tool breaks every block in the game in swift strikes, including Lihzahrd Brick and Chlorophyte Ore. It provides a +3 tile reach bonus, allowing miners to dig distant tunnels and clear mineral veins safely. Unlike swinging pickaxes, drills run on an active channel with a 15 animation cadence, maintaining a fixed block-clearing rate unaffected by melee speed buffs.
Cosmic forge construction and fragment components
Crafting the tool requires assembling Luminite Bars and Nebula Fragments at an Ancient Manipulator. The drill deals 50 base melee damage with continuous contact hits, fending off bats that contact its spinning nose cone. Its steady drilling rhythm suits precision tasks like running wire paths, laying railways, and carving hellevators without dislodging torches.
Trivia
- Unlike swinging pickaxes, drills project a spinning head that deals continuous contact hits.
- The tool shares its magenta color palette with the magic-focused Nebula armor set.
