Add toggle switch for drills' right-click ability in control panel
Add a toggle button in the control panel of drill blocks that changes the mode of the drill from the default left-click mode to the right-click mode. (bigger drilling radius with no resource collection) The intention is to allow the drill to be left drilling in right-click mode so it can be autonomous.
I've been building horizontal tunnel-boring machines for drilling into mountains to build bases in on a survival world. It's currently a real pain because I have to sit in the cockpit if I want it to do anything. I tried using the default mode of the drills, but it generates too much stone and makes much smaller holes.
I think this feature should be really easy to implement, and I would greatly appreciate it.
In the meantime, is there a mod that adds just this feature? I don't want a complete overhaul of drills, but that seems to be the only option for mods currently.
Thanks for your attention.
I like this feedback
This is a great suggestion. I can't believe we don't have this yet.

Yes, please. And give us an ability to code same thing in scripts.

It can be also very useful for custom turrent controlled mining arms.

I also support this feature, it would be very useful for any large excavation projects and just generally nice to have an extra degree of automated control.
I'm sure someone smarter than me could make some kind of auto-miner that cuts through stone on right-click but collects ore on normal mode.
