What are the official errata and commonly misunderstood rules for Drillers?
Quick answer
This isn't covered in the rulebook as a dedicated "errata" section, but the FAQ addresses many commonly misunderstood rules.
Details
The rulebook doesn't contain a section explicitly labeled "errata." However, it includes a FAQ section that clarifies several rules players commonly misunderstand [p.18 — FAQ].
Some of the most frequently confused points covered there include: when to shuffle your discard pile into a new deck (only once your deck is fully empty) [p.18 — FAQ]; whether default functions can be used during a card's main effect (no — only before or after) [p.18 — FAQ]; whether you can discard minerals from storage to make room for new ones (no) [p.18 — FAQ]; what happens if you run out of corridor tiles, damage cards, shop cards, credits, or minerals [p.18 — FAQ]; whether floor card effects like LAVA CAVE and SULFUR CAVE are mandatory (yes, all floor card effects are mandatory) [p.18 — FAQ]; and whether you can use leftover movement/drilling or play cards after surfacing (no) [p.18 — FAQ].
It also explains specific card interactions that often cause confusion, such as how CLEANING BREAK, MINING DRONE, REFUELLING DRONE, and SUPERHOT FURNACE upgrade your storage/fuel tank for free, and how CURRENT-🚫 MINER moves a mineral from your market to your overflow zone [p.18 — FAQ].
If you have a specific rule interaction in mind (e.g., a particular card, drone use, milestone timing, or scoring edge case), let me know and I can check whether the rulebook addresses it directly.
