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

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- 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.
