Drill notes

• Its main job is extracting ore from ore boulders, but it can also dig through walls and hurt creatures.
• Damage to boulders is reduced, and each extra drill adds less.
• When digging walls it ignores damage reduction, so it can even break Maze Blocks.
• While powered, it also directly attacks the creature right in front of it every 2 seconds.
• Items that fall into the drill are pushed out at its back.
• A diggable Ancient Waypoint breaks after a single drill hit, ignoring its damage reduction.

These notes cover behavior that the game files do not show directly. They are based on facts from the Core Keeper Wiki (Fandom) page "Drill" (CC BY-SA 3.0), rewritten in this site's own words.

What you get from salvaging Drill (Salvage and Repair Station)

Drill can be salvaged. Salvaging it gives the following items.

• Scrap Parts×1
• Iron Bar×4-5
• Scarlet Bar×4-5

For each material, the amount is "amount used to craft × 0.49 (lower when durability is down, 0.3 at 0 durability) × the item's multiplier", and a fraction is the chance of one more (2.4 means 2, with a 40% chance of 3). The range is from 0 durability to full durability (items without durability always count as full). Scrap parts are a fixed number set by the item level. All items that can be salvaged are listed in salvaging.
