The vehicle is intended to be a effective way to mine portably on the go when you dont have time or resources to assemble many pollution generating stationary drills.

The vehicle is Manned by player, it is a mobile drilling rig that vacuums up ore as it drills, but generates 4-5x pollution to make up for its drill speed, should be equivalent of 2 or more electric drills

Should be a Tier 2 vehicle alongside similar requirements like tank.

The story? "Man we use to have these drill rigs back on our homeworld, it made mining so much easier!"

I added it to viewtopic.php?f=80&t=17734 New types of vehicles (train, tank, car, plane, ship...)

Cool, hope it makes it into the game at some point, but no worries, glad to see the factorio team has so many community ideas, and credits given to the original idea suggestors
