[SCAM] Large Min3r Gravdrive

Description
Gravity-driven drone for SCAM automining system.

Warning: check that there is no gravity field around, drone has always artificial mass ON. Drone has minified gravity field areas that go outside it only on top of the drone.

Personally I haven't used more that one in my real games because it's overkill - 48 speed-upped refineries could not keep up with it.

I tested multiple mining in creative and it seemed OK, but still dangerous because of sometimes overlapping grav fields.

Another flaw in this build - central reference block (forward-gyro) is mis-aligned from center of drone, so in case of drone roll rotation shafts could be misplaced up to one large block distance. It should not normally rotate tho, so when you use a single drone this effect is hardly going to happen (all shafts would be misplaced similarly thus ending up looking nice and even).
