The purpose of this mod is simple: To reduce save file size by by filling the soil canisters faster while drilling with a rover. The biggest contributor to save file size is terrain edits. This mod adds a multiplier for soil collection that increases soil collection for higher quality drills, meaning less terrain dug per canister.

The default version adds a 4x multiplier for Drill Strength 1, 8x for Drill Strength 2, and 16x for Drill Strength 3.
There is also a lite version that does 2x multiplier, 3x, and 4x respectively. This makes the game slightly less tedious but doesn't help as much with save file size. There is also an Extreme Version that doubles the rates of the normal version.
This mod was originally created by Atenfyr, but I am now updating it since an unreal engine update last year broke his original version, and he officially retired from Astroneer modding as of 11/06/2021
