Claw XL Miner

Spiff's Practical Engineered Solutions, a division of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, presents Claw XL Electric Miner with four optimally-spaced drills (based on the not-so-famous, but highly successful Sprite offworld miner), and one (1) medium and two (2) large cargo containers for ore storage. With realistic (i.e., 1-1-1) settings, the ore capacity of the cargo containers, cockpit, connector, four drills, and the player (at 10X capacity) is approximately 147 tons, with an additional 3 tons for ice in the O2/H2 generator. Each drill is equipped with a conveyor sorter and ejector to collect only ore (and ice) and dump stone. Claw XL, with two large cargo containers instead of one, is the big brother to the Claw Electric Miner:

Comprised of only 243 blocks, Claw XL is highly optimized to be a low-cost, high-capacity mining solution for a survival startup.

Claw XL has seven (7) batteries for an abundance of power, and also includes eight (8) small reactors for backup, but the reactors are not required for normal operation. As a tunneler, Claw XL clears a 10-meter square opening. The front-facing connector makes docking and ore-offloading a breeze!

NO MODS, NO DLC, NO ROTORS/PISTONS; SURVIVAL READY AND PROJECTOR BUILDABLE!

SHIP STATISTICS USING REALISTIC SETTINGS
- 243 blocks

Tested extensively in survival conditions, Claw XL has quickly become my favorite planetary miner for early survival play.

{FINAL NOTE: Relative to overall ore capacity, Claw XL is a minor miner in comparison to Deep Reach Miner which is a major miner. If you really want to quickly mine a lot of ore, check out Deep Reach Miner at https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1872606578}
