That's a great suggestion. Thanks.

don't know why I didn't think of it when I posted a little while ago . . . about that "Over-Filling" issue. you could always add this script to your Miner. I've been adding it to all my Miners & Grinders.

It's kind of a crap-shoot to get it working smoothly (i.e., adjusting the drill angle), but I very recently mined a whole bunch of different ores at different depths and was pretty satisfied with its performance. I was able to tunnel around enough to easily provide sufficient clearance for turning around and other assorted tricks, and never once broke a drill or damaged anything. I have found, however, that operating the little bugger in third-person view results in the image shaking all over the place; I don't see that in first-person view.

Good little miner, but she gets a little wiggle to her when angled down. Only tried it on ice so far though.

I tried that, but it wouldn't lock and I got an error message saying SE cannot merge the main grid with a subgrid that was part of the main grid.

yea there's a way to do it but its kinda funky you would have to build 2 merg blocks 1 on the arm and 1 on the body of the rover and than after you get them to connect it will let you build light armor blocks to connect the arm to the rover to get it all on 1 grid.

Note that I just tried locking the main body and two crab arms together using a merge block assembly. Nope. The merge blocks will not engage a subgrid that's part of a main grid.

I started playing multiplayer (for the first time) with a couple other guys about a week ago; they wanted help building one of my creations. That's when I fully understood that subgrids are not being projected. I hope Keen fixes the problem.

Dang, alright ty.

It's an unfortunate problem right now that I hope SE fixes. You're stuck building the claws manually. Sorry.

When i spawned the blue print with my projector the "claws" didn't spawn because of they are considered sub grids, is there a work around for this? Or do i just make my own? (sorry to bother im just a bit of a noob)
