Mo's Drill Truck

A drill truck that drops it's rear suspension into the ground behind it in order to drill ores near the surface.
To drill:
1. Turn drills on (hotkey 6).
2. Slowly drop rear suspension until height is ~0 (hotkey 4).
3. Slowly raise front suspension until height is ~0 (hotkey 1).
4. Continue raising front and lowering rear suspension slowly until the front suspension is at it's highest and the rear suspension is at it's lowest.
5. Drive forward.
To move (or finish mining)
1. Turn drills off (hotkey 6).
2. Slowly raise rear suspension until height is ~0 (hotkey 3).
3. Slowly drop front suspension until height is ~0 (hotkey 2).
4. Continue lowering front suspension and raising rear suspension slowly until the front is at it's lowest and the rear suspension is at it's highest.
To connect the truck to a station a small ditch may be required as the truck will not level out properly on even terrain due to the drills hanging down at the back. Use the steps for drilling in order to get the rear top connector in line with a connector on your base or on another vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with a gabage disposal system (hotkey 7) that turns on 3 connectors and a sorter block at the rear of the truck that will dump unwanted waste behind you as you drill. To use, program the sorter block to whitelist items that you want it to dump or blacklist items that you do not want dumped. The garbage disposal system could also function as a means of transferring ore to a production facility by aligning the rear of the truck over a series of collectors and dumping it's cargo.
