I wouldn't call it ugly, this thing is pretty epic. I'm going to have to play around with this.
Probably going to see if I can make a large-grid variant of it.

Can the rig pull itself into an asteroid if I were to swap the carrier for a space version?

Excellent Job man!

Any chance you're taking another pass at this with the Event Cons and piston/rotors actions?
SINS 28 Sep, 2024 @ 5:18pm 
Hello, I can only build the lower half? The upper half of the rotor is not displayed

as stated below to print in survival you'll need to break it apart (i was able to go into two parts with carrier and miner). the connector on the miner is set to throw out so i recommend changing that.
timer block 2 has inner magplate switch lock instead of inner magplate unlock. TB 1-21 (drilling start) and TB 22-23 (Drilling stop).

Drills do not turn on and the buttons arent said

mine keeps attaching to the dropped stone and thus flopping around

Unfortunately this no longer works. As soon as you build it or spawn it, it nose dives and crashes

This design could get a nice boost to convenience with a few event controllers. Like stopping the cycle when full, and turning on a beacon to notify the player.

And yes, for survival, multigrid projector all the way.

should also be able to use multigrid projector mod no?

For survival, spawn this in creative mode/a creative single player game. Then break the three parts (Carrier, Walker, Pod) from each other and make a manual blueprint of each one. Then you can project each grid of the blueprint one at a time. Great ship, enjoying the 'modular' aspect of putting it together via projectors.

Doesnt work it just prints half of it with an error message
Unknownsmile 21 Dec, 2022 @ 2:19am 
FYI this is NOT survival ready.
ZettDeEff 29 Nov, 2022 @ 7:02am 
Nice Idea, but no Ore Detector build-in "LOL"
BlackHearthx 20 Nov, 2022 @ 3:51pm 
how i print the carrier?
Amazed 25 Sep, 2022 @ 9:52am 
Do you detect when the inventory is full? I built my own version inspired by this but inventory is full very fast. Is it possible to detect full inventory? (with timers)
Seriathus 22 Sep, 2022 @ 3:19am 
I've tried recreating this myself, but it's tough. Your solution is so simple it's almost genius.

Sadly it does not work in Survival I was looking forward to using it, but I had to learn it the hard way that you can not fully build it with a Projector
Marcelo  [author] 11 Aug, 2022 @ 9:49am 
@Saverok it comes out from the ejectors, it spills out stone and ice, and keeps only ore
If you want stone or ice you can change the ejector settings to keep them

@Helios the terrain doesn't have to be flat, have you tried starting it manually(via the buttons on the mining body itself?
Make sure the inner legs are touching any surface before you start it(they auto lock to surfaces on contact), because they're the ones that keep it steady, which might be what you're missing
Saverok 10 Aug, 2022 @ 5:13pm 
where does the stone go? I see it coming in but it doesnt seem to store anywhere. I love it if I could just figure that part out.
Helios 27 Jul, 2022 @ 12:34pm 
I'm having some troubles. I can't use it as whenever I do it falls over. Unfortunately the terrain I wish to use it on isn't flat like most surfaces. Do you have any suggestions? I've followed the guide video you've linked but the miner won't stay up.

You can literally get HIV in space engineers

Nice HIVs
MegaSkyHammer 3 Jul, 2022 @ 6:50am 
this will be amazing to have on survival ! thanks for making it!
Dots 2 Jul, 2022 @ 10:52pm 
@ZEN_2255 try multi projector plugin. plays the game at a whole other level.
Johnny 2 Jul, 2022 @ 10:50pm 
"it looks like aids"....that is hilarious you named it as such
Marcelo  [author] 2 Jul, 2022 @ 7:12pm 
That's cool Vulpy, I'll work on that and try to update the blueprint so it's printable sometime soon
Vulpy 2 Jul, 2022 @ 1:20pm 
I just tested it, with merge blocks you can attach a piston/hinge/rotor to the same grid, it's base is attached to (w/o any Klang).

This means you can blueprint the whole thing with temporary scaffolding that simply has to be ground down and the legs can unfold.
Lukas 2 Jul, 2022 @ 12:55pm 
this is easy in survival if you have multigrid pojector plugin. The only problem is that lifter is atmo and i cant think of something with hydrogen small enough to fit the dig hole for resource extraction.

these are gonna be real aids to my survival world

hiv :steammocking:
Marcelo  [author] 1 Jul, 2022 @ 11:16am 
I didn't even think of building a printable version of this to be honest but it seems like it would be possible with merge blocks and a lot of head scratching.. I'll give it a go some day
ZEN_2255 1 Jul, 2022 @ 11:12am 
powerful:steamthis: ... but unfortunately in survival it is useless to build. (due to the fact that the damn projector does not display subgrids!:steamfacepalm:)
Marcelo  [author] 1 Jul, 2022 @ 11:08am 
@ZEN_2255
The timer blocks are a bit of a bitch to sync because there are like 40 of them, but it was quite fun in a way too
Slader Harkeness 1 Jul, 2022 @ 8:36am 
looks like AIDS :steammocking:
ZEN_2255 1 Jul, 2022 @ 6:45am 
Good for you. I'm afraid to imagine how many problems you went through with setting up the installation...
