Description
Vanilla | No Mods | Scripts | 1 DLC (for color)

A semi-automatic miner is only made of functional blocks and nothing else matters... Vertical thrust is enough to fill the entire cargo volume (without drills) and keep the ship in the air with a gravity of 1g with an autonomy of about 15 minutes (without O2/H2 generator). If you need to quickly make a ship for mining ore in survival mode in any conditions, then this is all you need.

Update: Added inertial flight system. More info on Reddit

Thanks @ircurts! In fact, my game version doesn't have sorters and atmospheric engines either :) I prefer to survive in space. I added these blocks for versatility. In space and on the moons, the hydrogen version is more than sufficient.

OMG I love this little thing. I am making extra steam accounts just to come give ya more stars!!!
I did not like the sorters... or the atmospherics though. so I made my own version of this but holy cow!!! this is a great build and more of you should get in here and give this guy props for this.

justt sayin.

btw. I made a few changes noted above but the atmospherics I removed, I replaced with a pair of up/down hydrogen, so mine is full hydrogen. I also don't like to waste stone, I would rather make more trips... So I never put sorters on these little mining ships.

I fly mine from Earthlike to space!!! grab what I need and bring it home! How cool is that for a cheap little ship?
