Hello everyone,

I'm working on a drilling device but I've found that with bore-hole type drillers if I'm trying to get ores I'll drill a hole through the vein and leave most of the ore. Sure, I could drill more boreholes but then I'd have a lot more stone to process or remove. I'd like to send something down the borehole with the tunnel bore to dig horizontally when there's ore level with the device... I just can't seem to find a way to detect that condition.

I know some people use script-based mining drones so I know it can be done but they're... a bit complex for where I'm at in understanding the game right now.
