does this still work?

Stahe. say, when it gets out of sensor range, thrusters fire, gyro turns it- it dectets asteroid, stops and goes foward to mine... it will be such as a meter or so away from the first hole.

I'm trying to figure out how it's able to turn around and start mining again once it exits.. Anyone by chance know what setting(s) this would be?

This is a cool mining drone! It works so well!

Hey Sage! I love this drone, but I seem to have a high failure ratio with drills while working. Almost every other trip through a large asteroid costs me a drill. Do you have any suggestions on how to avoid this while still using the autominer feature?

Dear Sage

This is one great little drone shop.

I recentley bought SE due to the awesome adventures on the Sage and LSG channels.

Being a noob I decided as a training exercise to reverse engineer and upscale Ploutos with Demeter (hopfully now pumlishe) being the result.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and the nuts and bolts are pretty much all there, but having clocked only 26 hours game time the group actions, and funtions are, as yet, beyond me.

The Idea inspired by Ploutos that in turn lead to Demeter is not only to gain resources, but to also prep asteroids for covert bases much like the one in the first season of Survival.

Whole automining is still beyond me, I have managed to equip Demeter with the ability to contol Ploutos drones remotely and also carry up to six Ploutos drones into an are to mine.

If you want to tinker or improve on the work I have done based on your designs please do. The design is your after all.

Yours Jx

@TjThaz While in-game, F10 opens the blueprints menu. You'll find it there.
