dude you have no idea how long ive been looking for a video like this you are the goat man
same !!
There is actually dozens of videos on this topic.
Very informative, thanks Mr Steve 👍
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)
Finally, one that's purpose is not digging a moat
😂😂😂
Just a note: I think you can have a gap of one between each drill and have the same mining area, since the drills have a drill radius of two blocks (so they each carve out an additional one half block to either side).
You can have up to 4 small grid blocks between small grid drills but you may want to slow it down. I usually settle on 3 spaces between each drill.
Outstanding, just started getting into Space Engineers. Steep learning curve but unlimited potential. 🧸
Preach, so much to learn so fast…
Nice, neat, clearly explained and straight to the point tutorial, thank you.
This is super helpful! My buddy made one but I wanted to learn for myself. Very clear and concise video!
Glad it was helpful!
Yes dude your a legend this worked out so well!
Thank you so much.
Glad it helped
thank you for the helpful video man!!
Thanks, glad it helped.
Got this in my recommended.... Important to note that after a certain radius it is advisable to have drills on both sides to avoid a klang incident. Made one about a km in diameter
Jesus my dude!
If you don't need the stone, you could put filters on and have it toss all the stone out into a pit in the back somewhere, or set up a refinery specifically to smelt the stone to free up space so it runs longer, and you only get useful materials, instead of half stone, half ore.
You are almost always going to exclusively get Stone with these.
@@NotTheBomb the idea is to make it on an ore vein
thanks for the info i never thought about using event controllers
No problem! Happy to help.
Cool machine! Love it
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Tutorial 10/10
Irish Voice 12/10
Sounds Scottish though.
140 hours in and I just learned that you can use the toolbars on an event controller…
I had no idea we could use the different toolbars in the ECs... I have been a bad engineer!
Glad I at least helped you learn something new. :)
Solid information
Thanks
Great vid. To the point
Thanks for the video
Woah... thank you so much for making a tutorial straight to the point like this !
Also question where are you from ? Ur accent reminds of how certain people in Belgium, Flanders speak haha
hello, thanks for the nice comment, glad you liked it.
I’m from scotland
Thank you. Very concise
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Good one. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
do the same thing with a mess of small and large grid parts so it works with no inertia tensor.
YO! Whats that inertial tensioner do? Is that why its not all like wobbly? i use this to mine i just like do it manually tho. But i always wondered why yours didnt sway is that what the inertial tensioner does? Back when i played early access out pistons exploded generally as well as the hinges.
yes by enabling the Inertia Tension or whatever it’s called it’ll stop all that shit from moving around
i had a large ship welder going on with like 8 pistons going sideways with a massive amount of welders at the end and that shit was drooping more than me after post nut clarity
i turned on the inertia tension for all of them and it sprung up and leveled out perfectly, no droop anymore
Thanks for great tutorial. But i dont know if I'm doing something wrong or what. but drill bouces a little bit to the left then right and decides to dig straight down not in circle. Any idea why its happening ?
Hey thank you for your comment, have you made sure to turn on enertia tensioning on for the pistons and rotors? that should stiffen everything up. Also it may be getting stuck on some voxels, preventing it from turning, so check that out.
@@MrSteve_ hmm i dont see that setting. In the place you showed in video. Any idea why?
This can happen due to a bug, a few things you can try, reloading the save / Make sure you are selecting just the individual pistons, not a group / make sure your in Experimental mode.
What do you think about hinges with the rotor with like 5 drills
No offence but I had a bit of a hard time w/ your thick accent a few times due to my own hearing impairment. Subtitles would be nice (auto translate seemed to have worse hearing than I do... or it was drunk).
Great vid though; concise info, easily followed (once I understood the hard to make out bits) w/ no unnecessary filler. Bonus points for not using mods/ scripts. Would love to see more tuts in this style :)
Hello, Yeah Like you the auto translate has a hard time with my accent too :( sorry. Glad you liked it though, more are planned.
What is the right way to extend it further down? I tried to add 6 pistons and it got really wobbly and i couldnt get the settings right. Pipes for the extra space down + 2 pistons again?
Thats the way ive seen done in a few tutorials. Never personally tried that though.
I use inertia tensor on the pistons but not the advanced rotor. I add go from large grid piston to small advanced rotor head to medium conveyor to small grid drill. The out sideways from the small drill three conveyor blocks then repeat drill conveyor etc. i just setup a Derrick with 16 drill radius like this for silver and gold.
Cool, just a question why conveyor junctions and not tubes?
This was just for demonstration purposes, you can use whatever blocks you want in your own builds. hope the video was helpful and don’t forget to like and subscribe 🤓
Liked and subbed, building it now however I can't find the share inertia tensor option. Whatever that does 😬
I am new to SE and I have a question, how effective are these quarries?
Is it worth building it?
What kind of resourses does it mine out exct.
I'm not author but have some experience in game.
They're actually not that effective. To build one as in video you would need lots of resources that are pretty scarce in beginning of the survival on planet.
So not worth building.
It mines all resources under the area where pistons descend you can see jt in video.
What would be more useful is building yourself a base right at the edge of lake and building yourself a hydrogen powered miner ship.
To build one you could start with rover miner to roll around and find some Rocks on the surface that have ores in them which can be used to build miner ship.
After building miner ship game will get gradually easier because you'll be able to mine plenty of resources.
@@1KOLYANOS1you are absolutely correct unless what you want is the stone because as a byproduct you can get iron which is very needed for me because I need a stupid amount (54000) to build a space elevator and than I will need more to build the countless structures and ships and all the stuff I want just the stone will provide for close to all of that
@@StayLazzy_bbbbooiiiiiiii refining stone for iron and other resources as main source is inefficient, better find actual ores. As been said you just build miner ship, attach an ore scanner to it and find yourself nearby ore deposits, two-three trips to them and back will get you plenty of resources for a substantial amount of time.
Space elevator? It's build able only if your planets are customly downscaled. All the other times you won't reach 0G, game has limits in itself for structure sizes.
@@1KOLYANOS1 Inefficient? It is a task that you can completely automate while you go mine for something you actually have to find. Automate a few quarries, set some drones to automatically ferry the stone back to a refinery. Meanwhile I'm on the hunt for hard to find stuff, or welding up a new build, or exploring, or doing literally anything other than picking at rocks. It is passive income and that is EXTREMELY efficient.
what mod lets you manually type in the number for velocity?
This bit 1:41
You just hold control and left click to type the number in.
thanks@@MrSteve_
I also randomly built this
I cant find one anywhere that shows how to add pistons to the rig.
Do you mean to extend the reach, after the initial plunge? you can place a mag plate on the side of a drill that’s next to voxel, place a couple of armour blocks coming out the voxel for the mag plate to lock onto. detach the drills from pistons, then retract the pistons, add additional pistons then place a hinge on end of pistons and a hinge part on drills and attach them.
Why does one of the pistons go up?
It gives you more space to place the other pistons, and also can be used for a final plunge when the main pistons are fully extended.
i dont get it if you are playing creative why mine?
you can play and build in whatever mode you like to.
It's a tutorial.. why not make it in creative?
@@IAmAftermath94 so you generally play survival?
@@IAmAftermath94 OH! also i found out thats how you find out how you have leaks to keep a cabon from sealing is you take it to creative and turn on the like tester from that mod.
It's called having fun.
