In "Age of Ice and Steam 2", the strategy for using the Deep Melt Diamond is the focus of players' attention. It is not easy to use deep penetration drill skillfully, and you need to understand its characteristics and applicable scenarios. It may involve resource collection, building upgrades, etc. Mastering the strategy for using Deep Melt Drill will make your game progress smoother.
Like other structures in Frostpunk 2, the Molten Drill must be placed within an area. It cannot be placed on a resource point alone.
This means that players will need to build the appropriate area for the resource they are trying to extract, and then build the Deep Drill within that area. The building can be placed within extraction and food areas as long as it is built on deep sediments. It does not work with normal resource nodes, only deep deposits.
Deep deposits have a small infinity symbol next to them to distinguish them from normal resource icons.
Keep in mind that each Fused Drill costs one core to craft. Since cores are not easily obtained, players should carefully decide which resources are most needed. Check which resources are scarce on your map and use Molten Drill to get a consistent source of that resource.
