Drills are items in Astroneer that affect the way that the player interacts with the terrain. All soil has a hardness level, from 0 to 3, indicated by an increasingly darker pattern of lines on the soil. Each level of drill increases the ease at which the player can dig out the soil when equipped on a Crane, Tractor, Medium Rover, or Large Rover.

Drills dig out a large arched tunnel. The angle of digging is controlled by the camera angle, indicated by an artificial horizon displayed in the center of the digging plane. Angling downward with both a Drill and a Paver is a very easy way to descend through a planet's layers.
