I have a quick question: Is there a way to make a custom drill use energy instead of lose durability? I took a look at the energy pickaxe tool, but as it turns out, that one in particular is actually a specially coded melee weapon designed to mimic a pickaxe instead of being a proper mining tool. Currently I just have a drill that doesn't lose any durability when used, for testing. I tried to add an "energyUsage" Parameter, but it didn't change anything. Anyone have some way of helping?
You can but it would be the same as the laser pickaxe. You would have to create a custom lua active item that does it. But perfectly possible - you just need a good grasp of Lua to pull it off.
I'm curious, what's your reason for not just applying the same workaround for your custom mining drill as the energy pickaxe uses?
