There’s a new variant out

I can't seem to make it move. . . at all :/

i managed to build this thing in survival and as epic as thi thing is... it sadly just tore its drill head to bits after a couple hours of runtime. i was on as flat as possible ground too so there was nothing to hit either.

Followed the step, but it seems that there isnt a step that turns the drills on,

Beautiful work of art!!! Good job

my friend, nothing is understood from the tutorial LCD screen, you need help, I spent a lot of time

unfortunatly this isnt buildable whit Projector shame to much clang parts rotors and such

@ wrigley.bailey : I just tested this build in survival and it all seems to work so
not much of a guess other then a tube section is missing somewhere, or the main rotor isn't allowing things to pass through ( a bug I've hit in different builds from time to time ).

hey! i was setting this up to use in survival(testing in creative first) and the transfer connector and piston arent showing as being able to draw anything from the refineries or storage ont he drill. any ideas?

i can also see its a scripted crane sorta since you got alot of moving parts

iff you could make bleuprint off the pieces since its a mutlipiece drill whould be cool iff you could also add it as a multi piece bleuprint set seperate bp's for this craned miner
and maybe i can even build it whit projector so you whould have less Lord Clang this 1 looks nice

@ wrigley.bailey yes, the rig has to be manually reset, using controls on toolbar page 2 of the main cockpit. There are step by step directions on the left screen on the main cockpit to guide you.

I love the mining rig, but, how exactly do you reset it once it finishes the job? the timers just kinda stopped working and i had to shut everything down and reset it manually

@ Drew: This rig has several sub-grids, by default Space engineers projectors do not project sub-grids ( any grid attached by rotor, piston, or hinge ). There are some scripts/mods in the workshop to add in sub-grid projector function.

wheres the rest of the file when i load it to a projector half of t missing

A pain to build, but it's an amazing miner. There's several scripts available to fully automate this thing. While not the fastest miner, it's certainly one I enjoy watching the most.

The piston (left side when looking out from the bridge onto the arm) simply will not place, for whatever reason. The right one will, but neither the connector nor the piston on the left side will allow me to "build" from the projection that is clearly there.

My build is about 95% complete and I'm REALLY hoping I don't have to scrap it because of that. I mean, I guess I could just try to manually build the rest out, based on the left side, but I'm not good at that stuff.

Any idea what might be causing this? Maybe I should restart or something.

YOU ARE A GOD

@ Shotox I honestly don't know, I have not used that mod/plugin, The sub-grids are not overly complex so I don't see why it wouldn't VS any other sub-grid creation

do you think with the multi grid projector plugin i could print this out

@ BoomerRoyce The cockpit to drive it is on the main round base next to one of the legs, look for a staircase going down to it, the main control cockpit to set the mining process, is in the top of the tower.

So Maybe im stupid but i cant find the cockpit for driving this amazing thing

so maybe im stupid but i cannot find the cockpit for driving ?

Is anyone else having problems with the refineries slowly dumping the ingots into the cargo?

Nvm, i got it working. Incredible job with the drilling Mechanism.

The drive wheels seem to glitch through the platforms on which they run along.

@ lloydsnew
No, it wont stop if the cargo containers are full, it will keep mining until it reaches its max depth, however you can pause/resume its process at any time.

does this thing stop mining when it gets full or just keeps going

I cannot load this schemat, only shows me the tower.
will someone help?

Those are the only scripts this thing uses.

link scripts also im using 2 of these to sell hydrogen to dudes in a war

Can you link the scripts plz

why DLC else good creation

@ BloodDragon95 it slowly digs down on its own, once you start it, it does all the digging

Does this thing auto adjust depth as it goes or is that a completely manual thing? That is the only question I have, other than that holy **** this is absolutely amazing!

@ youshihunter

ok..so no..the drillhead should not just push through the ice, upon stating the normal drilling sequence with tool bar 4, the main arm should swing left, the drills should come on, the head should move outward towards the front of the main arm. There is no script that controls this, just timers.......

Check to make sure that for some reason the timer functions didn't disappear
and it may be a silly question but did you you follow the instructions ( in order ) on the rig for use ?

I put it on an ice lake, activate after I secure everything then I see the drill head start pushing into the ice with the drills off and makes a large crater just by pushing through the ice with the drills off

@ youshihunter if your talking about the rig ejecting the ice, yes its a setting by default, you can change it in the sorters, Its just set that way because ice can fill up the cargo containers real quick.........if that's not what your referencing.........i could use more info

Quick Question, should this machine be pushing through ice and not mining it, I think the scrip is not realizing ice is there and is just pushing right through causing damage to the head and unneeded craters.

@ laserRAYgun I've done my best to eliminate as much clang as I can, When used correctly and instructions followed, clang should be rare, the main issue that may occur is the drill head taking light ongoing damage, so if you don't check on the drill head every so often it may go kaboom.

@ {75th} Captionrun Sorry to hear that, my initial guess would be that you might be placing it to high

@ Lord Tridax No its not a infinity miner, it has a limited depth, check out the Mining Info area above to see the mining area size/depth

@ DarthRenegade05 Sorry, I would have to rebuild a lot to remove all the DLC blocks, and there's not enough demand to justify the work


Again sorry for the late replies, and thanks for the up-votes

Sorry fro the late replies everyone...been very busy. Anyway lets see if i can answer some questions

@ Striker What cockpit are you using? there a 2 one for drill operations and one for driving...the driving cockpit is is on the rigs main base

@ dracanta sorry, no....I don't have an xbox and don't really know anything about SE on xbox so I wont be releasing stuff there

@ Erebos of shadows I've done my best to make the instructions in the control cockpit as clear as I know how to

@Striker copypasted from notes just above the comment section, since you are incapable of reading:

* Operating instruction are found in the control room cockpit

how do you make it move

is this on mod io for xbox

how th do you make it drive???

BAGGER 288

Spectacular work! This is amazing!

still kinda confused on what everything does in this and how to operate it. any way for you to clarify it would be great. cant get it to move either and im struggling with operating it

Had one parked on the hill next to my base for ages.
Was fantastic to watch it from the rec-room as it went about its business in the warm light of a martian sunrise.

... Did eventually send out an earth shattering "kaboomb" as its drill head fell off, but it ran for ages before that and I should probably be blamed for the riddiculously bad driving I was doing in mt crane truck at the same time, which no doubt summoned Clang. :p

how do you get it to drive around
