Every A17 game and every A16 game and Every A15 game. never used the auger..................always did huge mining/digging projects...... I never thought it was worth the cost/heat and IRL noise to bother with that................thing..... Frankly other than in dirt it's not even that much faster either once you get some mining skill going.
Speaking A15 and 16: Top tier auger always was faster than any top tier pickaxe+skills. Measurably. Tested and proven to bits. The bigger the digging project was, the more worth it was the fuel and noise for the sake of getting it done fast. Not sure about that in A17 yet, waiting for all mods, base tools and resource availability's final balance.
Warrior? One step above Nomad, or default. Sorry, idk why I can't recall difficulty names lol. Day 58 my gamestage was in the high-200's. And to those saying they turned the game into tower defense and dont like it, well, it's in the game description on the store...
Yes I know it was faster, didn't say it wasn't. What I said was it wasn't MUCH faster. Not enough to be worth the drawbacks IMO. Trust me I know, I built this with a pickaxe.
Sounds good, though I care more about speed and found that for the most part the speed made up for the lower resource yield per hit before A17.Yes I know it was faster, didn't say it wasn't.

Yeah, it's faster and you get more. And yes and no lol. I found shale rather quickly going down a random path in the deset (and I found some diamonds!), but I found lead deposits were all littering about. Once I hit some, though, it took about a good 15 mins to mass up 1k shale. However, it was a bit of a pain in the ass because digging in the desert is a delicate process, kept dropping a ton of sand from the top. But I never took damage, so all's good. After that 1k I used 95% of it to make oil and just got on my hog and got gas from gas barrels I found lol.
