For more information see here Bug Report Template Build: all recent builds including current beta Game environment: new beta Scenario Platform: Steam DLC Installed:nope SEED-ID: Reproducibility: Always Severity: that's up to you Summary: T2 Drill will use TWO charges per chunk removed when button held. Will use ONE charge per chunk if you keep clicking. Description: As above. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Equip a T2 Drill 2) Mine Iron Ore while HOLDING the mouse button down. 3) Drill will consume TWO units of charge for each chunk removed 4) Repeatedly click the mouse to mine 5) You will see that one chunk is remove per click ONE units of charge used each time. Holding the mouse button effectively uses TWICE the units of charge per chunk that repeatedly clicking does. I've observed this with mining turrets too. I'm seeing this in the current beta, but I've had it in prior game versions too.
I've had this problem as long as I can remember. I always have to click to drill or it uses twice the charges if I hold it. Yes it also does it with ship drills but this is not as much of a problem. This problem does not happen with the multitool, even if holding. Expected behavior - holding or clicking for any drilling will use a set amount of ammo
