Drilla

Small Hydrogen Driller (vanilla)

This version of the driller was created by me after a year of playing. It takes into account many nuances. For example:
* The driller can operate both in space and in gravity. Just remember to check for hydrogen level.
* The driller is suitable for both horizontal and vertical drilling in gravity conditions (for this, it has an increased number of thrusters at the bottom and front).
* The driller is equipped with a front camera to look at the surface of planets and asteroids from afar in search of veins.
* The driller is equipped with light sources from all sides for more accurate drilling inside the tunnels of ore, not stone.
* The driller is surrounded by protruding beams, which prevents it from being damaged when dropped or hit. I checked it really works. ;)
* The driller has a flat shape, due to which it does not have parts protruding beyond the digging front of the drills.

It is equipped with:

x2 Drills
x1 Camera
x2 Small H2 Tanks
x1 Large H2 Tank
x4 Medium Cargo Containers
x2 H2/O2 Generators

In addition:
* This design allows the installation of several small reactors and a rear-view camera for easier parking.
* Also, you can place a couple of blocks like a beacon (to prevent grid removal in MP) or a modified ore detector (from such a mods as "Azimuth").
* If you play with mods like LWTS that allow you to install higher capacity containers, be aware that you will then need to strengthen the thrusters (corresponding tier) so that they can carry the increased weight.

I hope you enjoy this driller as much as I do.
