Usage
Breaking Blocks
A stationary Mechanical Drill will break blocks in the block in front of it with a time in seconds of (45 x Hardness)/RPM and will hurt entities in an area around it.
A Mechanical Drill moved by Contraptions will break blocks and damage entities with which it collides without needing a direct supply of Rotational Force.
The time it takes for a Mechanical Drill to break a block is based on the Contraption's speed and the block's Hardness value. The damage dealt to entities is also based on the Contraption's speed.
