I will for sure, but in a few weeks from now. I'm working now on a scenario for this game as well. :)
But this editor, LoL.

Thanks for your nice words. I agree that it would be much better with a vehicle with mining attachments.

Yes, it was because of lacking coding experience that I made it this way. The "resource rocks" with the barrel was the first thing I made here. The rock is actually a resource tank, disguised as a rock. This was all I could do at the time. The goal was to add resources to the map, to have far away goals in scenarios.

Later I added the grindable rocks for which you need the handheld drill for mining, and the grinder for processing. This is much prettier.

But both serve their own purpose. The barrel-flling resource rocks gives an incentive to build a buggy. (preferably the PHEV-version).

The grindable rocks and debris need a truck for transport, adding incentive for this vehicle.

You should try my scenario Gusev Antenna where it all comes together.

This is a awesome concept. But can I ask, was it because of coding experience that you choose a Barrel to harvest rocks??? Why not with the Handdrill? Or a drill on the MLL or truck, with a recourse tank attached? That would make the mod so much more awesome. Cuase this game is made up of realistic as it can be. Popping a brrel on a rock feels and looks like cheating. It DEGRATES your MOD! As this mod is AWESOME in it's concept. To be able to drill with hand or machinery on rocks you easily setup. 5/5 stars. Take my money!
