Description
This is the improved new version of the Automated Tunnel Boring Machine [TBM], which was published 3 years ago. I made this during a couple of livestreams, which are probably the best source of information to understand how it works.

The TBM can be printed in survival mode or pasted in creative mode. The small grid drill heads will need to be projected and constructed separately, as they are not able to collide with voxel material. Blueprints for the drill heads are published unlisted, on the workshop and are linked in the collection.

Instructions on how to set up the TBM are included in the blueprint, all information is displayed on the pink LCD screens.

A copy of the original game save is also included in the collection, so you can see how it all works and contains the blueprint master copies.

The TBM is over-engineered and is only intended as an inspiration for your own builds. It can be adapted to suit your individual needs. Its primary function is to automatically drill and fabricate an underground facility, that’s said, it will also produce vast amounts of basic ingots.

Hi Rhino. I didn't want to flood the workshop with blueprints, there's already four associated with this. The save file is exactly for this purpose, there is the TBM that's sitting there ready to go with the press of a button. I suggest that you slice off enough of the drill heads so they wont collide with the voxel, but enough to keep the projectors and rotors intact. You should be able to make a local blueprint and creative paste that into your own world.

Im going to pick it up from the save file, but could you make an official creative pasteable version/ version where you can expect someone to have a mod that lets you paste sub-grids? I'm just having the hardest time getting the tether pistons hooked up. Love the Drill, btw

Thanks Esh, inspired by the under sea round-about tunnel in Faroe Islands
