Automated Drilling Platform (Stone & Ice)

Description
Adaptation of Automated Drilling Platform V0.1

About:

When placed in voxel passively generates 'Dense Stone' or 'Dense Ice' that it can then turn into Stone or Ice respectively.

Build cost is equal to refinery.
Adjusted to be in the progression tree and the LargeBlock and Production groups.
Voxel is any rock, asteroids/planets - it doesn't matter.
Dense Stone/Icy is 10 times denser then the normal ore version and converts 1:1 in mass. This would allow you to harvest Stone and Ice without having to dig a lot of ground/rock or excavating large lakes on the planets and moons
Recipes for conversion in a normal rate and a 100x version for bulk operations to make it easier on the game with recipe checking.
Suggest using it together with Gravel Sifter and Duster Ejectors
-------------------------
WARNING:
Doesn't generate 'Dense Stone/Ice' when not in voxel,
Doesn't generate 'Dense Stone/Ice' when offline

or

IN A 100 METER RADIUS OF ANOTHER PLATFORM OF THE SAME TYPE (EITHER STONE OR ICE)
----------------------------
To Do:
  • Adjust code for voxel check so that Stone Platform can be active in any voxel BUT Ice and Ice Platform ONLY active in Ice voxel.
  • Balance the Dense Ore rate and the crafting time of the conversion so that it can be used properly.

When you add "Adjust code for voxel check so that Stone Platform can be active in any voxel BUT Ice and Ice Platform ONLY active in Ice voxel." it would be nice if that could be a toggle in Text HUD API or something

Great mod. I got the stone rig joined to my pipes easy but am having difficulty lining up the ice rig.

is there a version where you could adjust not just for stone/ice but any type of ore one wants to dig out`

I assume the stone/ice would be removed from the voxels right? If so on a related topic some one posted code to smooth dug out walls and shapes

maybe that is of value

how do you use the dence ice???

Recipes for conversion are not always 1:1. Cf. blueprints.sbc file.

this mod is indeed awesome but also tone down the ice and stone to 50% or maybe have an option to specify the tonedown %

*still have a massive ice yield

Just downloaded it, and it works like a charm! Speaking of "Balancing the Dense Ore rate", reducing the general yield for ice by roughly 50% might be a good start- it is *slightly* overpowered in the sense that I can hook it up to a o2/h2 gen, engine, and battery and have infinite power (and still a massive ice yield) :P

Yeah, it works like an assembler right now. I still need to convert it to a refinery type so that the refining happens automatically

Edit: I figured out that you have to go into the "Production" tab and select the Drilling Platform and make it produce your stone. :winter2019surprisedyul:
The more you know.
