About this Mod
Why not upload an ancient 1.7.10 mod to Modrinth...?
This little addon to Thermal Expansion and EnderIO adds drills and chainsaws. Drills can mine both hard materials, like stone, and soft materials, like dirt! Chainsaws can be used both as axes and as shears. Also, they are all upgradable in a similar fashion to Simply Jetpacks.
Requires CoFHCore and either Thermal Expansion or EnderIO to run!

RFDrills officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.7.10. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with RFDrills – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if RFDrills consumes the most tick time.
