neat!

This game is great fun combined with great.... assets.
I can only hope to achieve this kind of work at some point.
But! (here it is)
Is there any way to trigger those temporary effects?
Or is it really a timer with a little RNG?
I'd like to have a little more control over the game when completing milky mode on challenging/hard.
a potion or drink, hidden button (i couldnt find one) or debug mode.
you're busy working on other stuff. So i wouldn't like to ask you to take time away from more pressing matters.

I feel like this game would understand me.

Well, yeah. but it wont be nearly as power efficient.
And i've hardly ever ran into maps where the field is large enough to justify airblast drills.

It'll never mine better than a lazer though.
Especially in poor ore situations.
If you can get a better % coverage with the laserdrill than with the airblast, use the lasers.

oh, well.
Sorry for not being clear then :p

All i did was dividing by 9 or 16 xD

Hey Anuke!
Love the game.
I do have a burning question.

Airblast has no percieved benefit versus the laserdril. 

is intended or an oversight?
they both have the same output when occupying a single mineable square. (so, afaik they have the same output per square occupied)

the lazer drill uses less energy per mineable square (66e/9sq=) 7.33e/sq
where the airblast drill consumes (180e/16sq=) 11.25e/sq

the only benefit the airblast drill seems to have is 26% reduced water consumption
(6w/16sq=)0.375 for the airblast per square
(4.6w/9sq=)0.511 for the lazer drill.

Even buildtime isnt a factor here.
The airblast drill takes 0.22 seconds per square to build
And the lazerdrill a mere 0.16 seconds per square.

Or am i having the oversight here?
the airblast drill does not live up to it's description of being an "ultimate drill" if a lower tier (and more easily placed) drill has more benefits.

Kind regards, whatever my username is here.
