Thought some people might be interested! Here's a quick reference sheet I made for the drill Gossan uses in my fic.

I designed an early drill rig for the Zero-G Cave based on the piece of mining equipment/"satellite" that's there in the game, with the idea that the Hearthians had built onto the old drill to create the new one (shown in the concept art in the corner). This drill was in use before/during the conception of Outer Wilds Ventures, designed to be operated manually by a single miner. The new rig (the one we see in-game) appears to be operated either remotely or automatically, and has three bits attached to three legs that presumably scrape against the walls of the cavern as the drill rotates. The old rig has a single, extendable bit that bores into the side of the cavern.

(More details below the cut)

The old rig (in my fic) serves as the inspiration for the ships in Outer Wilds Ventures. The drill is piloted with a side stick that controls two thruster banks positioned on either side of the rig, with pitch and yaw controlled by a separate side stick that releases short pulses of air from a configuration of openings angled along the edges. This high degree of maneuverability allows the drill to be precisely oriented into place before extending three hydraulic legs to brace the sides of the cavern. The bit can then be activated, extended from beneath the cabin floors to drill into a borehole.

The drill is designed to be operated wholly in zero-G. A series of handholds along the interior and exterior allow the operator to navigate around the rig, and the operator can tether themself to the pilot seat with a harness when activating controls. The drill contains a radio, a medical kit, an emergency repair kit, emergency oxygen, and, eventually, a jetpack that allows for more precise navigation around the cave.

The old rig undergoes quite a few changes when it gets converted to the modern rig. The legs are repurposed for the three drill bits, two being relocated to the side of the rig. The forward-facing bit is removed, as well as the floor in the cabin that previously housed it. The cockpit and thrusters are removed and repurposed for ships, the cockpit being replaced with another module on the modern drill. Controls are moved to the side, and a panel is added to the exterior. Support struts are added (previously, an operator ensured the drill would not be damaged and would make repairs when damage did occur. Now that the drill is remotely/automatically operated, supports have been added to bolster its strength so it does not need constant supervision). The side entrance is blocked by supports and the back panel opened up into a new entrance.

Anyway, I tried to combine the in-game rig design with the interior of the ship to come up with something that's not identical, but quite similar. The ship controls borrow directly from the old rig, which is what allows Gossan to serve as flight coach to the Ventures, as they have experience piloting in zero-G.

Echoes of the Eye was something special. I drew this while I watched my friend puzzle it out.
