If you’re making money too slowly, obtaining and placing some mutated drills in your base will definitely speed things up. This complete Make a Drill Farm mutations guide will tell you how to get mutated drills, what all the possible mutations in the game are, and the exact multiplier that each mutation applies to the drill. So, let’s get right in.
How to Get Mutated Drills in Make a Drill Farm
There are three ways to get drills with mutations in Make a Drill Farm: Weather Events, Golden Machine, and Mutation Cells. The Weather Events and the Golden Machine are both RNG-based methods, while the Mutation Cells are sure-shot ways of adding specific mutations to a specific drill. Here’s a detailed breakdown of all three methods:
- Weather Events: All the weather events in Make a Drill Farm have their respective mutations. And while an event is active, there’s a chance that it can apply its mutation to one or more of the drills you have placed in your base. The more drills you have in your base, the higher your chances of getting the mutation. So, make sure you’re expanding your plot regularly and spreading out your drill placements.
- Golden Machine: The giant Golden Machine in the centre of the map is the only way to get the Golden mutation on your drills. Pick up a drill, add it to the machine, and pay the required cash for a chance to get the Golden mutation on that drill. If the machine fails, you’ll lose the cash and the drill as well. So, be careful when trying this method.
- Mutation Cells: The best way to add specific mutations to your best drills is by using Mutation Cells. You can buy Mutation Cells from the Blackmarket. The Blackmarket appears twice every hour for 10 minutes. The mutations added by the Mutation Cells are permanent as well.
That’s all the ways you can get mutated drills in Make a Drill Farm. Now, read on to learn about all the mutations and their multipliers in Make a Drill Farm.
