hope that helps let me know if you need anything else

Hello Penguin, thank you for your question. the only DLC block on this are 2 Transparent LCDs Right and left of the cocpit. you could use a Vanilla Text Panel instaad. The craft is Survival ready. you will need to connect it to a h2 generator to fill up its tank and its recommanded to charge the batteries first.

any versions that don't require DLCs? and work in survival?
DerMakrat  [author] 9 Mar, 2023 @ 4:32am 
i hope too :)

I thought that might be the case. Meaning I have to convert my ship to a station so it stops moving(Which worked btw). Shame, I was kind of hoping the script is gonna figure out the path finding better so I can last second escape and not worry bout the miner.
Either way with the new update around the corner, hopefully it will fix it.
thanks again :))

Hello MIQL, thanks for your comment. about the issue with the docking. the pam sricpt is flying a per recorded path to a point. it could be that the connector and the battleship moved a bit. after taht the ship wont get the connection. it could also be taht the connector is facing up or down if you try to connect facing up or down the ship could not have enought thrust to manuver to the position. try recompiling the programmable block and record the path again maybe. Let me know if that helps or i can do anything else.

Hey man, that's a great design... compact, stylish, self sustaining and PAM. Everything an engineer needs. In fact I was looking for something like that for my battleship, she fits in very well.
I do have a question though. As Im not too familiar with PAM, all the automations and scripts that well. Iris wont dock properly on an outside port of my ship. It would go back and forth trying to dock but not aligning properly. Is this due to PAM being PAM or is this something in the design of the ship? In short not sure why Iris wont finish the mining job and dock properly.

sorry i dont have a larg grid miner
Cosclouds 30 Dec, 2022 @ 4:25pm 
@Dermakrat Im looking for a large grid miner with all the feature you have here needs to be Moon comparable do you have any you recommend or can you build one ?

Hello Kenneth, glad you like the craft and thank you very much for the feedback.
I paticular like point 3 :)
the side descent is a bit of a problem. I could not find a solution for while still fiting the size requirement.
about the flight time. yes when its full and movering the flight time can be only 10 minutes in atmopshere but its still cabable of breking out of gravity and returning with ore. still your criticism is right. i tested it with a hover time of 15 min check the quide for more infos.

Let me know if you need anything eles and again thank you for your comment

@DerMakrat I'd like to say this is a awesome ship you got here, although it has 3 problems that I have come across.
1, it does not stay airborne if you tip it on its side in P-grav 1.00 which was kinda funny to come across.

2. it needs ice in the h2 gens at all times to stay airborne for more then like 10 minutes. and that makes it harder to deploy from a starship

3. Why'd you make this thing so fun.

It's a great survival ship overall else tho and have a great day

let me know if you need any other help.
PS: to get the most out of the Miner, check the guide for further information https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023397443

Hello A Flyin Deer thank you for the question. try this. get into the cockpit open the controle panel and selet the batteries set them from recharge to auto. if you cant select the batteries you can
build a small batterie first or put some uranium in the reactor and then turn it on. select the batteries and turne them to auto. after that. toggle all thrusters on my hiting "9" on hotbar 1. Set the Hydrogen tanks to auto.
A Flyin Deer 7 Jul, 2022 @ 6:41pm 
it says no fuel not power
A Flyin Deer 7 Jul, 2022 @ 6:39pm 
i pressed the flight timer while i was disconned from my base now the ship has no power. How do i fix this?
DerMakrat  [author] 13 May, 2022 @ 7:29am 
did you select the drill (Hotbar 1 button 1) and hold left Mouse Button (not right)
Dricus Du Plessis 13 May, 2022 @ 7:27am 
its not collecting anything
DerMakrat  [author] 6 May, 2022 @ 9:04am 
Hello heroic_dilbert thanks for the comment. put some ice into the connector. the H2 Generators will produce Hydrogen and fill the tanks. you could also build Large Grid connector and H2 Generator and connect the ship to fill it quicker. The ship can hold its Elevation using Atmosphere Thrusters only and using Hydrogen Thrusters for manuvering and acceleration in and out of atmosphere. Let me know if you need anything else or check out the Guide https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023397443

I'm a new player and am using the Iris for my first trips off the Earthlike starter planet. I build the Iris in an enlarged welding bay. There is a slight problem, though. There are 10 atmospheric thrusters aimed down but no atmospheric thrusters for other directional control. Therefore, when I detach the head from the rotor the ship floats off out of control. Of course it smashes anything it hits and damages the ship. Empyrion this game ain't. I have added 5 or 6 atmospheric thrusters pointing left, right, forward and backwards to cope with this by giving me directional control and have edited my copy of the blueprint accordingly.

Hello MaxDraik and [1-7] Rniessius i just reuploaded the Blueprint for Ike Iris and Ivy. if you have any further problems try reaadjusting Orientation and heading of the Blueprint, realoading the Blueprint or contact me again. worked fine for me let me no if you have any further trubble.
DerMakrat  [author] 4 Sep, 2021 @ 6:38am 
Wow thx MaxDraik and [1-7] Rniessius for notifying me. I will work on fixing it 11. september
MaxDraik 4 Sep, 2021 @ 2:33am 
All your Hydrogen based ship blueprints are broken. It seems that the sice of the small hydrogen tanks have increased and do no longer fit into your ships.
MaxDraik 3 Sep, 2021 @ 1:24pm 
Also it seems like your "IKE" and "IVY" ships have the same Problem
MaxDraik 3 Sep, 2021 @ 12:32pm 
Hello DerMakrat. I have the same Problem then [1-7] Rniessius in terms of the blueprint not appearing completely when used with an Projector. I tried your Idea with the unsubscribing and reloading, but it still is incomplete.
DerMakrat  [author] 27 Aug, 2021 @ 5:54am 
i just took a second look at your screen shot. maybe try this unsubscrib the Blueprint, exit the game and re subscribe. reload the Blueprint in the Projector.
Rniessius 11 Jul, 2021 @ 8:05am 
@DerMakrat I solved it by disabling the projector after building it...What about the messed up blueprint, though? Everything is all discombobulated. D:
DerMakrat  [author] 10 Jul, 2021 @ 10:53am 
Hello [1-7] Rniessius its very likly that the pivot point is at a different location or orientation than intended. you have to just orientation and cordinates manually using the Projector block. Hope that helps let me know if you need anything else
Rniessius 10 Jul, 2021 @ 8:29am 
I might sound like a noob, but the projector attached to this ship causes there to be a double-projection with offset that screws up the entire build. Any idea why this happens?
SonicDart 22 Oct, 2020 @ 12:10pm 
awesome
DerMakrat  [author] 4 Aug, 2020 @ 8:46am 
Hello SonicDart, the transparent LCDs infront right and left of the cockpit are the only dlc blocks.
Its completly functional without them. if you want to use PAM just add a regular LCD and type "PAM" into the blockname. FOr the shiplayout do the same only type "ShipLayout 17" into the custom data of the LCD
SonicDart 4 Aug, 2020 @ 7:51am 
Which blocks are dlc?
DerMakrat  [author] 4 Jul, 2020 @ 4:31pm 
thank you zonyx. im publishing Blueprints for almost a year now and i feel happy and honured with the reception and feedback i have been gíven. glad you like it :)
zonyx 4 Jul, 2020 @ 9:10am 
it has been achieved, your mining ships are the only ones i use due to their quality.
DerMakrat  [author] 3 Jul, 2020 @ 10:51pm 
Hello Zonyx and Ninja78, thank you for your comment. the concept for the Interplanetary Mining ships was to giv you the ability to mine regardles of your starting location. Hope that hase been achived. @Ninja78 what kind of Problem did you have. are there no Butons on the Hotbar when your in the cockpit ? if so make sure the Programable block is on and rebuilt the Cockpit.
zonyx 3 Jul, 2020 @ 9:09pm 
i do like the idea of it, it makes it easier to find to spawn too
DerMakrat  [author] 3 Jul, 2020 @ 12:46pm 
:D finaly someone noticed it :) (not sure your the first but the first to point that out.) It was logical i think to make the prupulsion Classifiaction appear in the name of the Craft :) what do you think ? do like it ;)
zonyx 3 Jul, 2020 @ 10:38am 
just noticed something you're doing, interplanetary ships names start with i, atmospheric ships start with a, and space ships start with s.
DerMakrat  [author] 26 Jun, 2020 @ 11:25pm 
Hello Regnion thank you for your comment. I feel honured. new Blueprints will be realeased every week right now
Regnion 26 Jun, 2020 @ 3:02pm 
This is excellently done, as is your whole collection!
DerMakrat  [author] 26 Jun, 2020 @ 1:30pm 
Hello Mordoe glad you like it :) I hope they fit well together
Far_Reach 26 Jun, 2020 @ 12:57pm 
This is perfect for the Speedy hangar!
