FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I've searched the forums for mining drill" and also "drill"... there are results but when I go into the thread it shows me I can't find any reference. Is the search quirky?

Anyway, is there a mod for a mining drill? Would be cool to have a drill that digs fast and wide.

Install the technic modpack it has some drills and lasers

Factories is another except I think it only has one that goes down.

Thanks everyone. There is so much stuff out here and I feel like I am late to the party. I have so many ideas for a mod and I wonder to myself what is already out there.

This game has so many possibilities. I think I will start a thread somewhere asking what peoples favorite subgame or mod is and why.

List your ideas and we can help you find out if the exist

First of all I want an orbital strike option. Massive laser or bombardment from space.

Also here are some more I want.

Those are just single examples I found. Most mods have different versions from different programmers. For example, there are a lot of teleport mods out here. Some are static others are dynamic. You also might want to integrate the way one gets teleported to the nether into your teleporters.

Good luck!


Edit:
First of all I want an orbital strike option. Massive laser or bombardment from space. Maybe this one can help you with that:
