Best way to charge the inifnity drill?
Capacitors in your inventory might be the way to go, since I think you could stack them at least. If your pack's got creative flux capacitors they cap out at 250k rf/t for each one. Or you could stack up a bunch of wireless chargers and stand nearby. More on reddit.com

Charging diamond drills | Feed The Beast - FTB Forum
November 23, 2012 - If you have a lappack/batpack/ultimate lappack it will automatically charge your items in your hand. You need to charge them as well though but they hold a lot more than the mining drill, also you can wear a solar helmet which charges your items for you whenever you're in the sun.

Advanced Mining Drill | Feed The Beast
January 31, 2013 - One thing, the Advanced Diamond Drill was added by a mod that demands lots of EU (Gravitation Suite), it provides a 35% increase over the Diamond Drill at 100% more power usage. It also provides: Ultimate Lappack, Gravitation Chest plate, Ultimate Solar Helmet, Advanced Lappack, Advanced Chainsaw, Vajra. I guess it is expected to pair the tools with the Gravitation Chest plate which has an energy store of 10 Million EU and provides a creative mode-ish flying ability, lastly it charges your tools.

r/CreateMod on Reddit: How to use portable drill?
May 2, 2024 -

I know someone made a post like 2 years ago on to refuel the portable drill and I used coal as a fuel source, but when I try to use it doesnโ€™t do anything. Mining with a pickaxe is faster. Unless Iโ€™m just an idiot and the portable drill is used for something else?

The Portable Drill (from Create: Stuff and Additions) needs both Fuel and Water to run. You put water into it the same way as you do with fuel (hold the drill in your off-hand, the fuel/water bucket in your main hand, and then "drop" the fuel/water bucket). If you open up your inventory and hover over the Portable Drill, it will show you how much water and fuel it currently has. Stuff and Additions also adds Fuel and Water tanks in three sizes. These are portable items that hold 8/16/32 buckets of water/lava, which will automatically refill your portable drill (and your jetpack/exoskeleton) when in your inventory. You fill both of them by holding them and then right-clicking on a source block of water or lava. The fuel one only works for Lava as far as I can tell (I wasn't able to put any other liquid fuel from other addons into it). So if you want to continue using coal/charcoal, you'll still have to add fuel with the drop method. The Portable Drill is most useful when you add the Digging enchantment, which allows it to mine a 3x3 area. (Note that while the drill can break anything, the 3x3 mode only works on pickaxe-materials, like stone and ores and such. You can still break dirt REALLY FAST, but only one block at a time.) I've never found a Digging Enchantment book while looting, so I think the only way to get it is to set up an Enchanting station and getting it randomly (although it's possible you could buy one from a Villager if you got really lucky). It kinda breaks the Create flavor IMHO, having to get a specific enchantment to make a mechanical device work better, so I usually just use Creative to give myself the Digging enchantment book, and "craft" it out of (i.e. throw away) a couple precision mechanisms and diamonds instead.
