The Large Grid Mining Ship 552 - Space Engineers

Captain : Do you see that asteroid over there
Drill pilot : Yes I do
Captain : It's in the way
Drill pilot : We are driving a drill nothing is in our way for long

Ain't no ice burg high enough ... Ain't no ice burg Low enough ain't no ice burg wide enough keep me away from mining you babe... 😂

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

I've noticed that Jump Drives now detect subgrids and docked vessels as being on obstacle rather than part of the ship. There's probably a subgrid somewhere, preventing it from jumping.

[@albiorix9645]

Its just the projector if its on it has this problem theres no subgrids

[@MrBlackdragon1230]

For those that bring up the DLC being used in builds...... the reason for it being included is because it was the builders vision of their creation, same way with using mods and scripts. It is their choice, and im the same way myself. I use all the DLC's in my builds plus boat loads of mods. Its our choice.

[@bmcinfor]

They just have to use is older version of the ship it as vanilla block.

[@Corvax77]

It is a minigame inside SE that I call Space Overengineers.

[@albiorix9645]

started work on it in early 2019 and never stopped

[@evlkenevl2721]

I love the look of it. Reminds me of the gigantic excavators in pit mines.

[@albiorix9645]

it was inspired by the machines that built the channel tunnels from England to France

[@kahvozeinsfang6953]

The reason the workshop page says its 92,000 blocks is because the author made changes to the ship, made a new blueprint, and immediately loaded it into the projector. It doubles the block count everytime you dont remove the first blueprint before loading an updated version of the ship.

[@zyanidwarfare5634]

That bit at the back has given me ideas for some kind of like wonder house thing that has no real up or down and you can just kinda walk wherever, like say I have 2 floors I could have the one floor be upside down above the other, with a glass panel separating them so people can look up at each other

[@rg.milkman8056]

Hell ya. That’s cool af. I’m gonna try that

[@BestThunderPilot]

Connecting this to a extreme large grid 3D ship printer would be legendary. Printing out ships like printing money.

[@redtsun67]

I made on of these in survival once as my ultimate goal. Not this specific design but the same general idea. Basically it was a completely self-sustaining mining vessel that had a massive drill front as well as smaller drills on the bottoms and tops attached to pistons so I could mine more delicately if I needed things like ice for oxygen. I named it Mammon. Real problem was that after I built it I kind of lost interest in the game because my ultimate goal was complete. It was really fun building boosters and stuff for it, since I built it planetside, then launched it into orbit. I think that was the most fun part.

[@Terminator484]

You get a like just for calling it an "encouragement turret". LOL!

[@ainzvondegureshaff2894]

That a big piece of idea, oh so much idea !!

[@CMDR-V-UncleJ]

i have 2 admit i never got around to trying this ship... but watching it penetrant that asteroid was very satisfying

[@donk8961]

Beautiful in action

[@patrikhjorth3291]

This ship is the work of a genius.
I too really like the "flipped" room at the back, but I would have put the med bay near the living quarters, and maybe built something more "main engineering"-like at the back of the ship.

[@albiorix9645]

tried to do that but couldn't find a good place to put a staircase to the lower two sections of the ship and med bay I just couldn't find a place for it to pipe it up without it looking weird

[@haelww1]

When Origin Jumpworks makes mining ships.

[@SkepticalChris]

a better design would be to spread the drill heads to allow 1 block space between them, also to allow the overall assembly of drills, to be taller and wider than the ship itself to reduce chances of it getting hit by the asteroid while tunneling through it.

[@albiorix9645]

I did that in as many places possible and put thrusters in the gaps

[@lightneko]

Amazing miner, I’m def going to have to build one

[@stratometal]

A LOOOOOOONG time ago, before planets and before room pressurization, I made something similar. It was a pain to use without crashing the game, but things have come a long way.

[@albiorix9645]

do you have a link?

[@nandodando9695]

On a Vs Match I like the idea of hiding in an asteroid, Ejecting the chunks as debris and firing backwards from the hole when the other team peaks.
Free armor.

[@maciejz7892]

On my similar build, I use refinery to convert rocks on board. My "Asteroid eater", ate asteroid without poop :)

[@augapfel6993]

Nice

[@anthonyrohrer]

Interested to hear if anyone has tried this ship. Based on my test large-grid mining ships, the layout of the front drills is completely insufficient for (left click) drilling straight through an asteroid, as it will not clear enough in between each drill and the ship will essentially bottom out on the thruster/light/camera blocks. In this video presentation, we only saw a left-click drill briefly, as it was then switched over to right-click, which is not problematic as the drill range is much larger.

[@albiorix9645]

As long as you dont go to fast or wiggle about nothing breaks and if u set up the pam automining it will run until the job is done without issue, it took two years to get to this state

[@MrDupacz]

Ive been trying to use it but it sucks up everything i connect to in eg all resouces and components from my base

[@zogmorp]

I like how the debris from mining the asteroid fall down as if there's gravity. tee hee hee hee ee

[@albiorix9645]

I had to make sure they did otherwise they would get stuck and cause damage if you tried to fly away with them in there

[@Clint_Beastwood87]

[@albiorix9645]

[@CreatureOfTheVoid]

It looks good but ill stick to my survival built moon mauller, built in the good old days when mining created debris that could be collected with a gravity generator.

[@albiorix9645]

This used to have a collector on top for that but i changed it to another parachute

[@haloplayeroflegend2515]

Can you mine a planet with that thing?

as long as you only want to go straight down and never return to the surface works fine on some moons though.

I don't not mean to be mean or make anyone feel bad. I am merely curious: I hear your pronounciation is a little different from other english speakers. The letter R sound like a W. My question is this: is it a dialect? Reason I ask is i've heard a few people speak similarily on BBC. Anyway. Cool videos! Thanks for making them for us! :)

[@jeffreybomba]

Is there a reason not to have one row of drills that rotate? Higher chance of clang?

[@albiorix9645]

Yes this was built in survival didnt want to risk clang it was built when clang was a lot more of an issue in the game also more drills are faster/ look better
