I guess my post got deleted when I edited it; well I'm not writing all that over again. Just popping in to say that in KSP 1.7.2 with a lotta mods like Tac-LS, +a bunch I'm not listing again (thx forums) I was having continuing drill issues when using Pathfinder. I saw that you patched it so I updated to the latest (Pathfinder 1.33.4), and this did fix the drill issue in the VAB. However the vessels wouldn't launch and I would be returned to Space Center. So I deleted MM_Drills.cfg in ModuleManagerPatches, and I deleted the lines under "stock drill patches" in the GoldStrikesomething.cfg in Resources. This fixed the stock drills, but the buffalo drills and other WBI drills with stock gold strike functionality failed to launch vessels. Those were easily remedied by marking out with // the bits in the part cfg related to pathfinder gold strike stuff. Tbh I don't know what the gold strike functionality is yet, but if no one else has noticed this failing then it must be conflicting with some common mod. Just sharing in case someone finds this info useful.

Hey just replying to share the info I've gathered about continuing drill issues (on KSP 1.7.2). I was having the issue with stock+buffalo drills not attaching in VAB and bugging it out; I saw you patched that so I updated to the latest, and this fixed the issue in VAB but I still couldn't launch those vehicles (it just returned me to space center). After further investigation I was able to fix the stock drills by deleting the MM_Drills.cfg file in ModuleManagerPatches, then deleting the lines under "//Stock drill patches" at the bottom. Of course I assume this removes capability to interact with gold strike nodes (which I honestly don't understand yet and haven't tried to find in any way so I'm not too concerned). The buffalo drills that have the gold strike capability still bug out any vessel that I attempt to launch. I'm currently trying to edit the buffalo drill cuz I love it's form factor and wanna use it. I'm just sharing this info in case someone else has any trouble. I'm using a number of mods such as Tac-LS, KIS, KAS, Tweakscale, Astronomers, Interstellar, DMagic, EL, Dangit, Near-Futures, SCANsat, RemoteTech, RealChute, Tarsier, PlanetaryBaseSomething, TextureReplacer, DistantObject, EVE, SuicidalInsanity's Stockalikes, Kerbal Atomics, number of other graphical mods, and some others I'm too lazy to list all.
