NorthWind Heavy Equipment

Description
This mod will contain all the more industrial and less combat related blocks for my NorthWind series.

Block Info

Bucket Wheel Excavator. An 8x7x3 large grid drill.
Its a really big drill for digging big holes... not much else to say about it.

Credits

A big thanks to Ash Like Snow for making the script that slows this drill down from the insane rotation speed it would have been stuck with and for help with some SBC stuff.

afraid not. the only controls we modders have when making a drill is the size of the drilling sphere. has to be the size it is to be able to mind without crashing the drill into the rock

This excavator is mining too much ore in a short amount of time, is there a way to reduce it?

I am semi retired from SE modding. I might come back to it later or maybe for SE2. no plans for anymore blocks for my mods right now. making a larger version would require a complete rework of the model and would take alot of time and effort, not something anyone else could do but me even if I was willing to allow other people to use my assets.

Hey, I love this mod. I was wondering if you're still into SE modding?
I've built about 10 excavators with it, but the size of the bucket wheel limits the overall size of the excavator, otherwise the bucket wheel looks ridiculously small.
So my question would be, would you release a larger version of the block again, or would you allow someone else to do it? Greetings

Thank you for the response, Sir. I checked again, to see if I missed a "k" behind the 1, and on the second load, it's comprehensively populated with a good variety of a lot of parts. No idea why that would happen. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it looks awesome. Thank you!

1 steel plate? this thing takes like 10k last I checked

Looking to see if there is some way to mod the resources required (1 steel plate) to something more realistic.
