Great to see the experiments. 2 Large drills < Basic Refinery < Small Cargo | Battery < Event Controller is enough to make a stone drop miner. You just fly down and grab the ingots now and then and scrap it when battery dies.
With enough timers, event controllers, and a sensor it should be possible to automate the ship to go up and down to drop cargo on its own without scripts.
For the freerange drilling, a beacon, action relays, and event controller would allow the drill rig to comunicate with a drone to have it come pick up loads of stone or recharge the batteries when needed. Another option since this is on the moon is to try and have an ejector with a gravity generator to make the stone float up to a connector. This will only work on planets with less than 0.5 G
I did some experimenting with this concept a while back. I did it on triton. Stronger gravity. However on the moon you can use gravity generators. So essentially you can control the angle of the dig. I imagined putting some gravity gens towards an ore node on an asteroid and dropping the chain. It was very effective. At the end I also added a rotor and created a flower shape for the drills with hinges. So once thery were in the node I could make them wider then the hole they went in and collect even more. Also you can lock the hinges on and off repeatedly to calm the wiggles.
Yes and no. I find most drill rigs benefit from choosing a specific design. Drill on a chain is good for medium terrestrial subsurface lodes. For space I usually choose something simple and strip mine ish. I'm experimenting with drones when I have time.
So you could make a free form drill rig that also refines, making the lift load significantly lighter. Once the prototype is worked out, I'm thinking it would be neat to deploy a few rigs from space over a desired base location. This should be possible with proper AI blocking and parachutes. This would give you many of the raw materials needed for a proper base.
if you use an event controller to detect cargo and action relay to call a ship, you could automate the whole free range drills concept and you could use the ship ai blocks in conjunction to go and collect the stone if you have a beacon on the drill and set it up. there is a lot of potential in the free range drill concept.
If it weren't for flyers, then I'd build a large grid wheeled mining rig with the chain setup for gravity mining. Wide stance, a 5x5 checkerboard drill head, a few large storages and a top connector for flying emptying. But my current small grid atmosphere mining flyer collects 1,7 million of cargo in a single load with an over 100m/s cruise speed. It's definitely worth a try, seeing how viable it is as a no interaction mining setup. Perhaps it could reach 200-250 m depth without interaction and have an ore scanner on the head for deep scanning?
Cargo filling fast. So adds more drills to the one Cargo.. Lol but fr the first drill idea is neat, You could make a drill with a connector and release it when it's full you connect via piston release it and add more pistons but your better off just miming and removing and extending the platform rig
Some one should make a map that is all voxel. You start in hole in the voxel, and have to live your life like a worm. Find random stations and things all underground.
At this point you can just make a normal drill rig on an rotor and add a mag plate on the drill. When it reaches the limit of the drills just lock it and detach it from the rotor. Reverse the pistons. Add more pistons and go back down. Reattach the drill and repeat forever
I had made a piston drill head that looked like an upside down Y... Everytime you made a full pass theres two hinges past the rotor head that had a drill and piston on each. Once you had room you just spread the drill heads
@@PandemicPlayground free range bunker busters, drop a few programed in lua to detonate on a timer after they pick a scrap metal plate into a container with a filter, you could open up a decent sized hole right into a dug in base and if you have a large enough mobile base you can use a hinge chain or pistons to lower in anything you can fit down the shaft (including turret packs) and annihilate the base from the inside
That is crazy sir. You always surprise me. You got flippin' nice ideas. I have watched your content and I caught you saying something like you would like to play co-op with someone, but you don't have people to play with. Well.... If you would like I could be one of those who you can play with through steam. I would like to play with someone too but no one want around me so if you'd be interested doing something like an online co-op on dedicated server we could potentially make a lot of content playing together. I wanted to record for a long time and with you sir I could do awesome content. If you interested please send me a message and we work out the details.
At the moment, I coop with Don from Novaspirit Tech, but it's been a while due to my limited schedule. I wish I can play with other in the future, but at this time my time limit is to sparse.
Hey I can't believe that you actually replied, thank you very much for your response. I understand. Thank you very much for your attention. Keep up the good work your content is awesome. Could you please save my account name somewhere and if you need a jump in person for your endeavours just let me know. I'll let you know what I do when I threw some videos together again and you will see what kind of madlad I am in gaming. Thank you for your response again, take care on your journeys.
I think the single drill battery and cargo container would be great for the beginning of a world, turn the drill on for 30 seconds or hand drill for a minute or 2 to get an infinitely full, Ik what I’m doing

You could add a new broadcast controller and relay to automatically tell the drone when the inventory is full to pick it up
I did something similar, but small grid and attached a survival kit for in tunnel refining of stone. Good for early game.
Ha love the rope drill. I used the same method for an elevator. Works pretty well actually.
I've tried it once before too. Did you use one set of ropes or multiple?

Bro the "free range miner" idea is genius!! So many cool game play loops could come from that! Great video

Yeah, I need to do more drone work to automate better.

Nice project!! I use this hinge chain long time ago as flex fuel hose to refill my ship. It was very fragille and clang friendly for daily use 😂

Как только Инженеры начинают наскучивать - появляется похожее видео и я опять в них возвращаюсь.
them hinge whips are hard on frame rates Klang Licks Lips & approves
I had made a piston drill head that looked like an upside down Y... Everytime you made a full pass theres two hinges past the rotor head that had a drill and piston on each. Once you had room you just spread the drill heads
That first setup it would be better to add a grav gen to it and kick out the items then have a collector up top.
Drop free range drills on dug in bases.
Add a warhead too? Lol

this is very smart, i would never imagine this was even possible lmao
Well the one on the title screen screams clang is going to happen 😂
If you go slow, it would be okay I think

A grav generator and collector on the surface and an ejector on the drills could transfer the stone and ores?
If you mine iron with it, it's a Ferris wheel!

Something is wrong with me because all this made me think of is weaponized slow bunker buster
*Drill Mill*
free falling
In the past you built more intelligent
silly😆
Srry but this kind of machine just feels like it tempts the wrath of Klang.
This is terrafying lmao
I think small grid hinge chain may be more terrifying lol.
I’ve re subscribed 3 times now wtf
