BNETT_WorkInProgress_Scripted_Mining_Rig

Basic mining script to mine out deposits. Full base on wheels! Still a work in progress so i'm not going to spend to much time filling this out lol. I plan to upload the piston arm assembly BP in a manor that would allow it to be blue printed but as of right now you'll just have to paste in the entire rover via admin or use the Blue Print Subgrids mod.

The arm isn't to hard to build from scratch. Just make sure to name the pistons/drills right and you'll be fine.

Script fiddling. (not to bad)
Well... I figured out how to modify the script to get it to calculate drill velocity based off the vertical axis instead of the horizontal. I also modified the formula to remove the collapsed horizontal arm. Below is the change I made in case anybody else is wanting to do the same thing.

I only used share_inertia_tensor because it's true whereas I couldn't guarantee that with hp_extend. I'm sure adding a new variable near line 380 equal to true would have been the way to go but this is simpler for somebody to recreate.

My edit to lines 957 to 971:
if (vp_count > 0)
{
if (share_inertia_tensor)
{
rot_speed = (float)(rot_speed / ((v_stage * vp_step_length) + excess_meters));
}
else
{
rot_speed = (float)(rot_speed / (excess_meters + (vp_stage_count - v_stage) * vp_step_length));
}
}
else
{
rot_speed = (float)(rot_speed / excess_meters);
}

My edit to lines 1100 to 1115:

if (vp_count > 0)
{
if (share_inertia_tensor)
{
rot_speed = (float)(rot_speed / (excess_meters + v_stage * vp_step_length));
}
else
{
rot_speed = (float)(rot_speed / (excess_meters + (vp_stage_count - v_stage) * vp_step_length));
}
}
else
{
rot_speed = (float)(rot_speed / excess_meters);
}
rotor.Enabled = true;

Below is the custom data for the autominer programmable block if needed.

@Configuration
You can configure the script right below here,
by changing the values between then | characters.

The configuration will be loaded if you click Check Code
in the Code Editor inside the Programmable Block,
when the game Saves/Loads or if you use the
Set or the Refresh command.

There is a detailed explanation about what's what, inside the script.
