MD-01 "Super Caterpillar"

In 1 collection by Bad Cookie
Mining Fleet

Description
This was my first drilling mashine i build a few weeks ago and decided to share it today as a single part because it was part of my first world i uploaded.

- 70 drills
- 3 connectors
- conveyor system
- grouped drills and connectors
- 4 Collectors at the back
- hidden thrusters (THRUSTER DAMAGE HAS TO BE TURNED OFF)
- lot of spotlight to look a bit like the ship in the movie "the core"

I build this mashine in survival mode and it took me 2 days to finish it. This world is just for copy and paste the Caterpillar in your own worlds. there are two of them and one with a cut throught so u can have a better look at the internal systems.

Best working with max 0.5 m/s during drilling. Just tip "W" all few seconds to get the drills a chance to break the rock. And just go through the asteroid in a straight line. Little course correcting are ok but don´t try to dig a curve :)

Just noticed that i forgot to group the drills and the conncetors on the second MD-01. Drills and connectors are grouped by the one which is over the collectors.

Ich benutze eine mischung aus ziviler und militärischer Luftfahr Kennung kombiniert mit bissl scifi. Werd denk ich mal ab sofort eine Aufschlüsselung der Kennung in die Beschreibung einfügen.

Thanks for the suggestion. MD = Moblie Drill and 01 because it´s the first one ;)
All my ships will get a specification like this. For example AMD-01 in my Mining fleet stands for "Armed Mining Cruiser" Hybrids like this ship cant use a normal classification. My next ship is a hybrid of a freighter and a personal luxury transporter.

You should name your ship "Worm" and then add the stuff from this guide .

Deactivate thruster damage and when u go for a mining run just tip "W" and just go with about 0.5m/s. That should help.

I build the thrusters not inside the ship. It´s difficult to explain in english, but the thrusters are not blocked if u mean that. their is a open part where the heat comes out.
