afraid not. the only controls we modders have when making a drill is the size of the drilling sphere. has to be the size it is to be able to mind without crashing the drill into the rock

This excavator is mining too much ore in a short amount of time, is there a way to reduce it?

I am semi retired from SE modding. I might come back to it later or maybe for SE2. no plans for anymore blocks for my mods right now. making a larger version would require a complete rework of the model and would take alot of time and effort, not something anyone else could do but me even if I was willing to allow other people to use my assets.

Hey, I love this mod. I was wondering if you're still into SE modding?
I've built about 10 excavators with it, but the size of the bucket wheel limits the overall size of the excavator, otherwise the bucket wheel looks ridiculously small.
So my question would be, would you release a larger version of the block again, or would you allow someone else to do it? Greetings

Thank you for the response, Sir. I checked again, to see if I missed a "k" behind the 1, and on the second load, it's comprehensively populated with a good variety of a lot of parts. No idea why that would happen. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it looks awesome. Thank you!

1 steel plate? this thing takes like 10k last I checked

Looking to see if there is some way to mod the resources required (1 steel plate) to something more realistic.

you have my interest good sir :)

Alright

if I choose to switch it over I will do it my self.

Could do it for ya if you want, I'll give you full credit. It will just be a port over to tool core.

I am considering it. I am mostly retired from SE modding right now but if I get the interest back I will probably convert it.

Would it be possible for you to port this to tool-core?

BUCKET WHEEL EXCAVATOR !!!

Cool, but can we have one for small grids too?

alright, I didn't know that. thanks for the information

the reason the mod is bigger then some other single block mods is because it uses some custom textures, its also a detailed model with subparts and LODs, these all make it a little bigger. No you cant make it smaller, not without the original models, if you were to remove the custom textures it would all show up as error gray. As for reuploads, the answer is always NEVER on all my mods. Use Mod Adjuster if you need to make a basic stat change for something on a server, its what it was made for.

there is literally nothing in this mod but the bucketwheel...

unneeded models*

and can i also use it to remove the models so it saves space?

can I use the modadjusterv2 to remove everything but the bucket-wheel?

the descriptions says it pretty clear...
use the ModAdjusterV2 to edit this mod.

Hello, would it be okay if I modify this mod for my server? yes, it will be unlisted.

Could you perhaps make a Bertha Tunnel Boring Machine inspired cutting drill head?

kk thanks so much, this looks amazing, as is

its a single block. I went with that name incase I add more later.

Does this have 1 block or more than one block in it?

This is the best digging tool i ever have had in this game. Than you so much for making and sharing this with us.

Lmao, the frustration is so real It's almost a physical object.

I love this mod, thanks for the great work.

why would a mining drill clash with WC? why would a mining drill in a mod named NorthWind of all things clash with WC? of course they work together... the only mods that dont work with WC are none WC based WEAPON mods.

will this mod clash with weapon core and its vast collection of supported mods do you know?

would be nice to have a variant that didnt have the catwalk for rotor use that will look good

cheese

aye sok just got some dumb info out of comments on another mod ty for the quick reply love your work

No... its a drill not a gun.

does this require WC?

I never uploaded the BP for the mining rig. not finished it and taking a break from SE

Any idea where we can find the blueprint for the Mining Rig?

your profile is private so we cant see your workshop

When you combine the power of this drill with the utility of this script (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1695500366) you can make some really amazing stuff. One of our guys built an oil rig kind of thing that we will move from ore patch to ore patch, set up, and then fly around defending it while the Orks and Reavers try to blow it up.

Good fun, highly recommend.

Also looking forward to seeing what additional tools come to this mod

We are already having a lot of fun with this. As an owner of the Lego Technic bucket wheel excavator, this one really got to me. And your build in the demonstration was a huge inspiration for my groups first major ground-based mining vehicle. This mod overall just makes it so much more sensible for mining in gravity. Fantastic work!

You should add a one block grinder pit since conventional ones have gaps

Could you upload the blueprint for the whole Excavator pls?

I just tested this in Creative and I have to say that I'm really impressed! The slow spin-up is realistic. The boundary box is very tight so you don't go digging up huge bits all over. You really have to get the buckets in contact with the surface. It also digs a lot but not so much that it's OP. For what it costs to build, it's not an 'I win' button.

Now I need to figure out how to make it move lol. Great work!

It was the location of the conveyor ports. They were to the sides of the 3x3 rear rather than the center where other drills keep their ports. People new to this mod take note... it's not a real issue if you keep your eyes open.

Recently added these to my base drill unit and noticed that I can't get material out of them. I suspect they jammed somehow but inspection revealed no damage and my other drills (Akiad) were performing normally. I will examine further but suspect that something is amiss. Can anyone verify?

Did u make an excavate blueprint??????? plz say yes

This is a great mod love these types of mods that add new blocks that look good.

Beelzebub himself will fear The Bagger 288!

Black Ops 1 Moon

You could build this Vanilla but this cool
