Tunnel Boring Machine 10m redacted

This is my take on fixing the Tunnel Boring Machine (Vanilla) 10m diameter originally designed by OctoMoose.

You can find the original blueprint here: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1670236756

Important: As OctoMoose mentioned you have to check that the TBM is imported as a ship, not a station. However be advised that the drill head is a separate grid so you have to check that, too. Most of the time I had to convert the drill head to a ship before I could start.
And I am playing this game in German and I don't know if the whitelists of the conveyor sorters are translated properly. So you may have to change *Erz* to *ore* if the connectors don't eject the rocks.

List of changes
============
- I increased the speed of the drill motor 2.5x and activated the shared inertia tensor so it could remove the rock in time.
- I still had to reduce the piston speed to 0.25 m/s in the forward phase but could compansate a bit by increasing the piston speed during the catch-up phase.
- I deactivated the shared inertia tensor for the front and rear motors and set their angle limits to 0, because they are not supposed to rotate.
- I removed the two 1x1x1 containers in the drilling section because they interfered with tunnel segments and prevented them from being weld properly. You don't want to store any rock in this area anyway which leads me to the biggest problem:
- There were no precautions taken to remove the rocks from the drill head which lead to the piston not being able to push the drill head anymore within a few cycles. I found that at least three sorter/connector combinations were necessary to get rid of the rocks in time.
- Unfortunately the road welding section in the back wasn't connected to the conveyer system of the rest of the ship so I added a conveyor line for that.

Remaining issue:
=============
The collectors in the drill head tend to break but I don't think they are needed anyway.

In creative mode the redacted TBM built a tunnel of more than 1km length unattended until it reached the PCU limit.
