XU-18 Mini Automated Mining Drill(No Scripts)

https://youtu.be/7_w6llnsaF0 Check out me totally failing at my own machine! Ignore the skipping, it's not the game, it's my poor broadcast software.

The XU-18 Mini Automated Mining Drill is a simple deep core circular drill for survival. Easy to make, easy to operate, automated. If you don't like it, feel free to go use your hand drill or another time consuming drill, while the ones who do enjoy it, do more important things while getting ore. :D

-No Mods
-No Scripts
-No Rotors
-1 Piston(Landing gear)

-The settings on the ship are preset for optimal ore retrieval. Drill heads will scrape the very top of the ground to get the most possible out of all veins.
-Drill operates on Timer Block/Gyroscope locks.
-Very low CPU usage compared to bigger drills.

1-Go to the ore destination needed.
2-Line ship up accordingly

4-(Optional) Use Drill Weapon tool to dig until ore is discovered
5-Turn on drill line
6-Activate Main Timer block
7-Go do stuff.
8-Landing gear will dock ship (if)once ship becomes overweight
****(Make sure piston lower end never goes below 0.4, to avoid overweight or unmanned ships from falling and crushing the sorters and connectors)

It's not perfect, but it's basic, easy to make, and produces a substantial amount of ore to get you started without very much effort from your part. Most of the ship was built from disassembling the planetary lander.
