Upgradeable automated mining drill bit

🎯Mod Overview

This mod is based on Drewdus42's **Automated Mining Drills** and is designed for casual players who like these drills. The original drill recipe requires battery packs, which were hard to come by before the first summer, so I made 2 extra versions of each drill!

⚙️ Drill bit grade system

**LV1**: 20 Wood + 45 Stone + 2 Earth Crystal + 10 [Drill Product]

(Stone Diamond LV1 requires 60 stones instead)

→ Easy to make but low yield

**LV2**: [LV1 Drill] + 2 Diamonds + 2 Iridium Ingots + 1 Battery Pack

→Production is faster and better

**LV3**: [LV2 Drill] + 3 Radioactive Rods + 3 Colorful Shards

→Highest output and best quality

🏆 Mining skill requirements

  • Mining Level 1: Stone
  • Mining Level 4: Clay, Coal, Quartz
  • Mining Level 5: Copper, Iron, Gold

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.

Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
