#3 Automated Mining - Space Engineers: The Search for Intelligent Life

Welcome to the Search for Intelligent Life.
In this episode BossJones builds an automated hinge and piston miner so he can get enough ice to process for fueling the MHT to launch into space to find intelligent life, mainly his engineer friend Deromine.
I hope you enjoy the series and hopefully many more episodes to come!

Gotta say, that skiff is quite awesome.

[@BossJones1981]

Thanks, It sure has proven useful and added a bit of an alternative to the jetpack and running out of hydrogen every 4 minutes.

@@BossJones1981 I built my own version shortly after I saw that. I put a couple programmable blocks on it (One for auto docking, another for PID control to ensure it stays flat to planetary gravity, but that's still WIP) and a couple event controllers to control two sets of batteries. A small battery is turned on when I'm in the seat, and when I leave it goes into recharge mode, while the other event controller checks to see if the connector is docked and puts the two large batteries I have on it in recharge mode or auto mode. Works a treat. The PID thing.... ... Keep loosing control. More work needed. ;)
