"Dwarven Drillers are very unique looking automatons, designed for underwater drilling and maintenance work. Their bodies resemble a large enhanced dwemer diving suit, and the entire automaton is made of a thick metal carapace, specially reinforced to deal with high water pressure. Two big cylinders on their backs connected to the rest of their bodies by large metal tubes allow them to move stably underwater, and even swim when necessary, and of course allows them to resist the pressure, due to the high steam power contained inside the cylinders, regulated according to the machine necessities.
The head protrudes directly forward from the upper chest area and is encased in a large hemispherical glass helmet studded with eight lit yellow portholes. A huge, fully-functional conical drill is attached to the left arm just forward of the elbow and is used as drill to open path through underwater rocks to expand their masters underwater dungeons, also to collect mineral materials such as ores, and specially to do the maintenance of the outside underwater areas of their dwemer cities. The drill, of course, can be also used for powerful melee attacks.
It is a curious fact that almost all Dwarven Drillers carry inside them a Dwarven Hammer, and a helmet with waterbreathing abilities, which has caused many scholars to speculate that those were devices for a more detailed exploration of the drilled content by living agents on the field, then leading many to believe that these automatons were actually reinforced diving suits used by the Dwemer, who carried this extra equipment with them in case they needed to exit the standard drill set to explore some fragile material in more detail.
The dwemer ruins of Nchardak, in Solstheim, are known for having a relatively big population of these robots: they still patrol the waterfilled halls of that lost dwarven city, doing maintenance function and killing intruders."

So far no incompatibilities have been found between this mod and other mods.
(OBS- If by chance when installing several of Mihail's mods at the same time you are asked about files overwriting those of other Mihail mods or other authors mods, don't worry because they are just the same files shared between mods. I recommend that on these occasions always give preference to the files contained in my mods, and among mine always give preference to the mod you are installing last.)
The Mihail Monsters and Animals series aims to create and make available to the community the most complete set of creatures for TES 5: Skyrim, implemented in an immersive and unique way, with respect to the pillars of lore. Instead of pathetically just throwing models and textures in the game reusing 100% vanilla mechanics, the creatures made by Mihail have uniqueness and extreme zeal in their idealization and implementation, which will provide you with an experience that you have never had before in this area.

Mihail- Dwarven Driller model, animations, effects, sounds, game implementation
Some assets used on this mod belong to:
SRW0- for the ancient dwemer metal textures used on the Dwarven Driller;
M150- i used and modified some metal tubes from him to make some of the metal
tubes of this automaton, also used his right hand model for the automaton hand
and used a static drill from him as base to make the animated drill of this automaton;
Calamin- i used his gold cubemap and not the regular bronze cubemap used on
vanilla automatons to give to this machine a different, more gold-like shine;
Icecreamassassin- for the code of "dagon_script_addfxorspell" script;
Additional acknowledgments:
Irrational Games - the Dwarven Drillers available in this mod are inspired on the Big Daddies from the Bioshock franchise, and have part of their background also inspired by the official background of the ones in the aforementioned franchise. No assets belonging to Irrational Games were used in the production of this mod.
