Big mining drill

The big mining drill has a light attached to its front that changes color according to its current status. This indicator provides a quick visual check of whether the drill is working normally or whether something is preventing it from producing resources.

A green light means the drill is functioning without issues. When the light is yellow, the drill is unable to dispense resources, is low on power, or has been disabled by the circuit network. A red light means the drill has completely run out of resources to mine, or it is missing the fluid required to mine the current resource.

• Green: the drill is operating normally.
• Yellow: resource output is blocked, power is insufficient, or the circuit network has disabled the drill.
• Red: the mineable resource is exhausted, or the required fluid is unavailable.

This makes the front light a useful status signal when managing large mining setups, since it lets players identify inactive or blocked drills at a glance. A yellow light points to an operational problem rather than an empty field, while a red light indicates that the drill can no longer extract from its current tile.
