Drills

Drills are items in Astroneer that affect the way that the player interacts with the terrain. All soil has a hardness level, from 0 to 3, indicated by an increasingly darker pattern of lines on the soil. Each level of drill increases the ease at which the player can dig out the soil when equipped on a Crane, Medium Rover, or Large Rover.
