Dirty Ore (Vanilla)

In 1 collection by Spaceman Spiff
Mining Ships and Vehicles

Description
This large-grid mining ship carries a huge amount of ore in a large cargo container (plus a couple more small cargo containers). The drills are set forward sufficiently to ensure a deep plunge with each pass to maximize ore intake, and sorters ensure stone is rejected. Complete with a jump drive, this bad boy will get you there and back again faster than a chipmunk bites you when you're feeding it!

You bet. I've been meaning to update this critter for quite some time. I'll kick it out soon.

No mods. I'm doing an update to this very old design to make it a bit more efficient. I can't remember if I assigned the drills to a control key as a "block tool", or whether i assigned them to turn on/off. If they're not assigned as a block tool, then reassign them that way. Doing so will allow you to select the drills, then right-click to clear away excess stone until you get far enough into the asteroid to get to the ore. You'll need to swing the ship side-to-side, and up-and-down to clear a big enough opening for the ship to clear. I hope this makes sense.

do you use any modes with this as i just took it out for a spin an the drills dont drill out far enough for the body to make it through?
