2019-05-16 Drilling Rigs, Platforms: Drilling Rigs Drilling rigs have never been implemented. Drilling rigs are now ready for use. A drilling rig model will be found in the exchange, after the servers are up and I have a chance to post it. It has an interior room with a door to the outside, so it can be used effectively as a transporter destination, without ending up in the water. Its blueprint can also be found in the Blueprints/Buildings folder, called Drilling Rig 10.SoH. Design properties now enables selection of Sea Surface Building structure. I haven't actually tested them to see that they work like a well, though.
