Atlas Drillship_No-DLC

Atlas Drillship is a large-grid vanilla space mining ship design without mods or DLC, and contains no rotors or pistons making it a perfect survival-ready solution for extremely large-scale, late game mining projects.

Atlas Drillship extracts ores very, very quickly with its 4 Prototech drills, automatically ejecting waste stone, and transports ore in 2 large cargo containers and 1 small cargo container, the connector, and four drills. Power is supplied by 3 small reactors and 3 batteries.

NOTE: This non-DLC version of the Atlas Drillship has been stripped of all DLC as requested. The only exception to the original design was to add two additional standard gyroscopes to increase maneuverability when heavily loaded. The ship's bridge required extensive design compromises to make it airtight, so it's not nearly as visually appealing as the original design. :(

NO MODS, NO DLC, NO ROTORS/PISTONS

(Note that without the 5 required Prototech frames, building in survival is essentially impossible.)
1. Place 2 armor blocks vertically, minimum, on a powered grid to provide sufficient clearance for building the drillship.
2. Build a large-grid projector on top of the armor block; for consistency, rename the projector to be "AD - Projector".
3. Load the blueprint into the projector; click on the setting to retain the blueprint after construction is complete.
4. Build the blueprint.
5. When completed, grind away the armor block(s), leaving the projector in place for future repairs.
