what does this do?
UwU 12 Aug, 2020 @ 8:55am 
Mod is broken, plz fix
BrianJ 1962 1 Feb, 2020 @ 9:11am 
I'm guessing this is broken, as not updated since 2015 and comments below indicating it'll 'mine' any rock wall it's placed near (or in)?

If it's not difficult, add 2x2 and 1x1. Thanks for the mod.

Let's talk in blocks. How many blocks is the drill radius of this drill?

For our game server, we need an XXL Industrial Drill having a drill radius of 30 blocks to each side. The factions on our server build ships that must go underground and even have battles underground, but the current drill radius sizes restrict the size of our ships.

The drill itself could be 5x5x10 blocks in size. Maybe even two work modi: tunneling (30 blocks radius), and ore mining (10 blocks radius to each side, or 30 blocks but very slow). Can you do such a mod?

when placing it in a cave, it will dril everything around it, especially when there is nothing to drill.
Tommygunn 5 Nov, 2018 @ 6:29pm 
2x2 or 1x1 would be amazin
SourceStick 2 Sep, 2018 @ 6:20am 
there is no sound :,( I activate this and there is no sound. only when i but my head in it.

Ah, so this is actually a disguised garbarator (the thing in the sink drain which minces up everything).
GOODYOB 13 Mar, 2018 @ 2:56pm 
Is it problem to make smaller ventilator? It's to large for decoration
GryffintheBaron 18 Dec, 2017 @ 5:23pm 
what if the world is creative, eh?
_SD_ 23 Oct, 2017 @ 12:32pm 
okay, maybe a noob question but is it possible to let the Ventilator to rotate on a slower Speed!?
Love you work!
>Zam_nny 10 Feb, 2017 @ 8:15am 
@theimmersion yes it can mine, but you can't use it as a drill(the hole is too small)
TwitchingPsycho 2 Feb, 2017 @ 8:54pm 
More interesting question, can this mine? xDDDD
[☆] Space Mikey [☆] 21 Jan, 2017 @ 6:26am 
i have one question , can this damage other blocks ?
Azirahael 8 Sep, 2016 @ 3:31pm 
"i wonder how it can damage players XD"
Stuck your face in a fan. Never ask that question again. :)
TangerineSpaceRaptor 29 May, 2016 @ 10:49am 
I have an idea for this: Make the Ventilator a large oxygen vent able to remove air from rooms.
jackik 5 May, 2016 @ 12:25pm 
is it possible to add some gravity to it? or then to only have gravity if there is an atmosphere? would make it a little more dangerous for players(and the one building it if he stands on the wrong side of it and was dumd enough to weld it by hand)
Quirky View 2 Mar, 2016 @ 2:47pm 
I really want this to do something, function makes things cooler.
scheurleer 19 Jan, 2016 @ 5:58am 
i wonder how it can damage players XD

I made a box out of the fans have a couple of 3x3 Heli carrier thusters in the inside gives a new look using aluminum blocks smooth it over, if you made a thruster box and had spinning fans with a little flame shooting out as you zip around would be very cool very cool :)
Lex174 12 Oct, 2015 @ 7:12am 
@hammy: Same problem here, it is just too large to fit on a ship.
But the model and its functions are perfect.

DX11 Update
1101011 27 Aug, 2015 @ 7:24pm 
i love this block, and i like to use it but i always find my self turning it off due to the drill sound. is there a way to change it or remove it. btw love that if you get close it will cause you damage
Aelytah 29 Jul, 2015 @ 12:42pm 
Any plans on updating this to DX11?
Pharap 20 Jul, 2015 @ 3:20am 
Not sure about it being a drill, but I suppose it can double as a means of breaking up large ore chunks.
Mage4 6 Jul, 2015 @ 12:08am 
i have idea for you. same model, no blades, rotating pulse of light [like its rotating], 4 pannel shutters when off. and small warning textures along the edges "warning micro gravity well" "Danger other side may be de/compressed excerise extream caution". think dyson fan.
Dkz1181 4 Jul, 2015 @ 3:05pm 
ahh perfect, the fact it damages is a bonus XD
Nova Viper Dwagoness 29 Jun, 2015 @ 5:11am 
Hi few people on my server like this mod but could you do a 1x1x1 version and/or vent air like a normal air vent please?
NoSkilLToFu18 26 Jun, 2015 @ 11:03pm 
dx111111111
Hammy 15 Jun, 2015 @ 11:09am 
Can you rescale it for 3x3 and 5x5 on small ships?
KilledJoy 6 Jun, 2015 @ 4:58pm 
DX-11????
gripenblau 29 May, 2015 @ 9:25am 
gone do DX11? Like your mod :)
Andyverse 16 May, 2015 @ 4:24am 
Can i use this for mining?
Jack BeFlippen 15 May, 2015 @ 7:30am 
possible now to make this a "Vent" ?
JTS 12 May, 2015 @ 1:45pm 
it is possible to make the rotation of the vent - smoother? It looks like a paralytic... Also - not good
kitsunelegendXx 13 Apr, 2015 @ 3:55pm 
Is there any possible way to make this 1x1 for large ships and stations? I mean....this thing is HUGE right now...I would love to have it where it could work as a vent between rooms so I dont have to always use the old slotted "windows" keen has for when I dont want to put air vents in all of my rooms...
Shyning 4 Apr, 2015 @ 3:56pm 
Hey Eikester !
Any plans on making it compatible with the actual oxygen system ?
Matthew Spindler 30 Mar, 2015 @ 4:44pm 
Hey looking for a custom cocpit made to fit a new millennium falcon build im making. Willing to pay $100 for a decent job.

Please respond if you're interested.

Thanks
Mr. Robot 26 Mar, 2015 @ 8:56pm 
Really enjoy this mod. It actually goes really well with the Hammerman Airvent Mod. Would love to put both to use for Oxygen generation. Either way, still great for ambiance.
CHICKEN_NUGGZ 25 Mar, 2015 @ 7:28pm 
would be cool to use these as a X10 air vent for filling/ purging large rooms.... Have it switch direction for purge.
cakethulu 21 Mar, 2015 @ 4:13pm 
do you plan on integrating this with the O2 system any time soon?
also, is there a chance we could get a small version? maybe 1x1x1 large grid?
leg 10 Mar, 2015 @ 9:35am 
oh, ok thanks
Eikester  [author] 10 Mar, 2015 @ 6:19am 
because there will be o2 added soon to the game ;)
leg 10 Mar, 2015 @ 5:40am 
why would you need a fan in space?
Tiger 8 Mar, 2015 @ 7:02am 
How close is 'too close'?

Is there some hidden hotkey to show tool effect radius in-game?
Slenderman_mike 16 Feb, 2015 @ 8:48pm 
does this destroy block's infront of it
KYDAX 14 Feb, 2015 @ 9:53am 
does this rotate like a real ventalator .
If so it would make the mod so handy for my future creations?
