One Drill Head Mining Rig

Make sure to set the drill part to be a ship and not a station.

Its not spinning for me, am i missing something?

For those who are wondering what this contraption actually is/does:

It acts like a Spirograph (a drawing toy first marketed in 1965 that involves poking a pen through a gear inside another gear and rotating to form spiral-like patterns on the paper beneath), allowing a single drill head to do the work of a much larger system (albeit very slowly). It is explained in this reddit post, which contains video of the device in action: https://www.reddit.com/r/spaceengineers/comments/l607k9/excavating_a_large_volume_with_a_single_drill_head/

To answer the question "how do turn it on", it is likely controlled via a Control Panel on one of the Cargo Containers. As for "This only projects up to the first piston", it was built in creative rather than survival and is intended to be copy/pasted, rather than projected and welded.

how do turn it on

This only projects up to the first piston. Do you have separate blueprints for the moving components?

?

Some things about this blueprint that i feel need to be addressed.

1: the drill is too low and when pasting into the world it hits the ground and limits where it can be placed.

2: The rotors are already on and start moving once finished.

3: I recommend adding a few blocks going down to help place the rig on uneven ground.

Other than these 3 points this is a great blueprint!

можете объяснить, как этим пользоваться, через что настраивать и как управлять?

for some reason its not rotating?

Gotcha. That's all I needed. Using the speeds listed divided by 2 worked perfectly. Thank you!
