Flea Micro Miner

Spiff's Practical Engineered Solutions, a division of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, presents the Flea Micro Miner as a minimalist design that is used as a very early survival game miner, when thruster components are available, to significantly enhance the player's ore detection, extraction, and transportation process in space. The connector is necessary for recharging the batteries by connecting to another grid's power supply, and for the convenience of dumping acquired ore. (Note that this is a slightly upgraded version to what is shown in the pictures.)

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

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
(See the last picture for the projector's configuration.)
1. Build a rotor frame on a powered grid; remove the large-grid rotor head and replace with a small-grid rotor head and lock rotation.
2. Stack 2 armor blocks, minimum, vertically atop the small-grid rotor head to provide sufficient clearance for building the miner.
3. Build a small-grid projector on top of the topmost armor block; for consistency, rename the projector to be "Flea - Projector".
4. Load the blueprint into the projector; click on the setting to retain the blueprint after construction is complete.
5. Build the blueprint.
6. When completed, grind away the small-grid rotor head, armor blocks, and rotor frame, leaving the projector in place for future repairs.
