Pausing the drilling
Is it possible to pause the drill program and resume later without it borking the whole logic loop? I want to set this up as a heavily defended enemy ice mine/hydrogen refining base that can be captured and used in a scenario i'm setting up for me and my friends to play through but in my testing so far when running it on Europa all of the cargo gets full of ice rather quickly both in the mining rig and the attached hydrogen refinery building so I would like to be able to pause the ice mining with the option to restart it if we get low on ice/hydrogen/oxygen after capturing the base from the enemies so the cargo isn't completely filled with ice all the time ( I predict my friends are going to want to make the refinery a forward base after/if it is captured so the cargo space will be needed for more than just ice).

I answered my own question, spent some time looking at what the timer blocks all did to make the drill rig work, just turn off timer block 1 and timer blocks 6 & 7(if you did the option 5 minute pause thing so that those timer blocks wont end up turning timer block 1 back on). Now with event controllers you can even set the whole thing up t be automated to turn off TB1 when cargo is at a certain % and turn TB1 back on and trigger it when cargo is below a certain % to start the whole process over.
