Description

This mod requires ToolCore and Animation Engine to function, so make sure you have both mods loaded in your world. They are listed as dependencies so they should load automatically.

Thanks for the answer.
It would be too much work to adjuste anything only to be more balanced.
I only want to play. I will still use the mod as it is.
Qarannia  [author] 3 Jul @ 1:47am 
@Weeping Angel It was my intention from the outset. I'm aware that different player groups have different "balance" goals. There is a mod on the Workshop called Mod Adjuster that actually allows you to change the values of the various XML tags in another mod, so you could change the materials required or the inventory space or power requirements if you so wished. Unfortunately, the way the mods are designed there isn't a an easier way for me to open things like that up to change by the player base.

it is a good mod, but one thing still bother me. It is far to cheap to build. Is there any plans to change it or was this your intention?
OscarGaming 14 Jun @ 9:28am 
All good, no worries.
Qarannia  [author] 8 Jun @ 8:52am 
@OscarGaming Thanks very much for the video. I usually use the inventory screen or a script to show how much is in the inventory so I've never noticed the numbers in the Terminal.

The suggestions you made would certainly be useful but they would need to be made at the ToolCore level rather than in this mod. I'm not certain if / when the TC dev plans on adding more functionality to the framework though.

As promised, here is the video.

@Qarannia Thank you for your response. I came back and tested again the LG version and it worked, the only difference between my first try and today's is that I have updated the SE version to the current one.

So, I apologise for giving the wrong information based on my set up. Your drill beam should be a fundamental part of the begging stage of the game, it is a sucker for power but worth it. At the end I switch to the mod DrillSystem because it is far flexible.

Two things I would do to improve this wonderful drill, an auto cut of when no more ore can be dig out (saving power) also a visual queue such as a progression strip/bar or numeric 0 (current dig)/25m (max range), if the visual would be a pain to implement, then the cut off will do.

I will make a video showcasing how it works.

Thanks.

@VariableVixen Sounds like a plan. Being mobile shouldn't affect it; there's nothing in the config to differentiate between static and mobile grids, but I'll be interested to see what happens. Could be there's a problem with the small grid block only.
VariableVixen 4 Jun @ 1:12pm 
I'm going to try setting up a large grid mobile constructor at some point - basically just thrusters, power, cargo, and a repair unit to move into significant construction projects - so I'll see if being mobile causes any issues. If not, I'll probably slap a repair unit onto my small grid cargo hauler too and see how that works. I broke down my old ship (accidentally slammed it into my base and it blew up lol) but if there are any more issues, I can give you some actual information besides "it stopped working". I'm a developer too, so I know how awful that kind of report is for actually debugging anything.
Qarannia  [author] 4 Jun @ 5:51am 
@VariableVixen Glad to hear you at least have a workaround. This game has more workarounds than stuff that actually works when it comes to the mods.
