Honestly, awesome. Really, really, really, really useful.

•Pros (Major):
-Collects enormous amounts of ore, quickly.
--Prioritizes ores.
--Can auto-dispose of stone.
-Convient size and convoy locations.
•Pros (Minor):
-Durable.
-Portable.
-Reasonable, but steep, construction cost.
-Smooth, impressive animations.

•Cons (Minor):
-Can't intentionally mine stone.
--It's sometimes useful to leave nothing behind.
-In need of improved textures.
-In need of higher quality beam drill block.
-In need of higher quality building stages.
•Cons (Major):
-Little reason to use more than (1) per ship.
--All seem to target the same ore after surface is excavated.
-Priority of ores to collect can't be set.
•Con (Determing Factor):
-Extreme power consumption.
--Increases rapidly with distancce between drill and ore.
--Incapable of being suppied by reactor.
---Uranium consumption is great, compared to its availability.
---Uranium deposites tend to be small and rare.
-Solar power/batteries are mandatory.
-Mining operations are limited in their scale.

•Personal Conclusion:
-Efficiency/Block ratio is extremely high. (Improves run-time)
-Power Consumption/Block ration is extremely high.
--Block-Effiency/Block-Power Consumption ratio is extremely high.
-Scalability: Limited
>>This mod is one of the Most useful, Most entertaining, and Highest quality of life improving mods I've come across for Space Engineers. Investing in one during the early game is advisable. It is reliable, and does not seem to slow down the game.
>>Once I had an established base, it became less efficient to use this tool. While it is much easier to maintain a mining rig using a beam drill, the conventional drills (dispite the lag they can cause) use hundreds of times less power. (100+) mining drills consume less power, and mine faster than this block.

•Personal Recomendation:
-Reduce the rate of increasing power consumption based on ore's distance from the beam emitter.
-Increase the minimal power consumption of the beam.
-Increase the rate at which a single beam collects ore.
--OR improve the ability of mining beams to work in tandem.
--AND decrease the power consumption of mining beams.


•This is an amazing mod, one of the best.
I have used your mining beam for hundreds of hours during a survival playthrough, and I hope my feedback will be of consequence.
