So let's talk about deep Mining, I know this isn't a new concept/idea, but usually the mining we talk about is the generic mining on the surface.


From the Vision Book, it mentions deepscan array for finding deep resources:

Deepscan Array - Deepscan arrays are surveying stations that
extend the range of discovery for resources nearby. A Nexus already
gives a basic radius for scanning, but it is rather small. Adding a
Deepscan Array will increase the range and rarity of the resources
discovered nearby.


If the standard MEK can only mine surface resources. Then upgrading your MEK for deepmining would be a harder task; disturbing and attracting more mobs etc.

Grummz has mentioned some of this from discord and streams.

Just give me the option to make the Em-8er version of a tunnel boring machine. Hell, we could even make a make a combat version of a tunnel boring machine that besides having guns on it would melee fight like a giant serpent.

In real life tunnel boring machines are those large drills that are shaped like worm or serpent that builds a tunnel as it moves. The front end digs the hole and parts behind it sure up the walls of the hole and put in the walls.
