The Chrome Crusher is the most expensive and powerful Large Vehicle in the game, and is one of two Giant Drilling Vehicles (the other being the Granite Grinder, though the phrase was once used to refer specifically to it). Although the Chrome Crusher only moves at 0.3 squares/sec by default, it is an extremely powerful drilling machine. It takes 0.4 seconds to drill Dirt, 0.8 seconds to drill Loose Rock, and only one second to drill Hard Rock and Seams. Along with a Large Drill, the Chrome Crusher is also equipped with a very powerful Mining Laser that can be used by double-selecting the vehicle. An Energy Crystal will be drained for every two shots fired with the Laser. The Laser has much greater effectiveness to the Mining Laser Building (even without the drill upgrade). Also, like all Laser-equiped units, it can be quite useful as a weapon against Monsters. It can mine Dirt in 6 shots, Loose Rock in 13 shots, Hard Rock in around 18 shots, and Seams in around 30 shots.
