Upgrade che core once, should be good

Hi
This over heat after few second when using drills. Not enough generator power.

I made this in a survival multiplayer game and I get overload messages when I power it up.

im having a problem with it constantly flipping and getting stuck trying to drill anything

Im going to use this well built driller in 10.4 hope all is well.

I absolutely love this miner. I watched the stream where you updated this for A10 and can't wait for the upload. Keep it up man.

Hello. I just spawned your Drill Pup Auger and it is a nice piece of work, unfortunately it will not hover. Everything works except it won't leave the ground. I am running Ver 9.7.1 could there be a a problem with that?

UPDATED WITH WIRELESS CONNECTION ( Sorry for the late fix )

I just made lvl 10 and popped this down on a custom world to test it before I build one. Works great from what a noob can see. I haven't tried the turret yet so I'm not sure what that does.

@StarKiller I found something similar. The design has 2x generators and 2x fuel tanks, 1 generator center, 1 upper left, and vice versa for the fuel tanks. I found that swapping the left generator for the center fuel tank balances it out nicely. This is because the generators are 1t each while the fuel tanks are only 500kgs.

Been using this in my previous and current play through and I absolutely love it, the only issues I have is it's tendency to flip over onto it's top, and when it starts getting loaded up the back starts dragging.

I found that if I move the med station and replace that area with few hover engines it seems to correct these two minor issues, although I've yet to find a safe and secure place for the med station to be moved to.

yes. there is no wifi connection. plz update this

@XCaliber I must be missing something as I just spawned it and there is no wireless device. Are you sure?

Poprocks thanks! I was thinking of adding hovers on the corners and setting them to a non drilling signal for general movement.

Patre thanks! there should be a wireless device now as I did update this for A9 and added all the new equipment. You'll have to respawn a fresh one to get the additions.

I really like the design, but for me, it droops to the front and left. I can reproduce by just letting it stand level, and given a second or two, it sags. It does it in creative and SP.
Doesn't seem to impede the drill performance though.

P.S. , you should add a wireless device to the kit

Thanks for a great design

Figured I'd come over from the Rebar thread and comment here too. Oh and to throw you another thumbs up! This little guy is hands down my fav small HV and I have made one every time I've hit lvl 10 since starting the game. As has been mentioned, stability is an issue. With all the practice I've had, I'm an expert and gettin' this thing around the craziest terrain and down in mine holes. Maybe widening it a few blocks might help? Along with moving the hover engines out a bit. Keep up the great design work!

Awesome kimyth!

I am so glad you did an update for this driller I always use to have this one made ready to go as fast as possible 👍

UPDATED FOR A 9.1

For a long time I was a user of the big n angry ladybug however this one has taken its place. I only upgraded the drills because well why not. Great job I will be using more of your stuff. Functional and fancy thanks a lot and keep it up.

@Biggle_Red -- just press Shift to auto-right your HV and re-level it with the horizon; it's built-in to Empyrion. :) I use it all the time when mining and it works great!

Loving this little HV, BTW, it rocks!

Absolutely love this thing! I built it as soon as I reach level 10, very versatile. Same with the lvl 20 version.

I've had one issue with both though; I tend to get flipped upside down when mining deposits and end up like a turtle on its back. Maybe 1 or two small thrusters on top toward the front just to give it a quick boost to flip or get some space off the ground to roll?

Even with the time I spend on my back in a hole I dug, this thing is hands down the fastest and most versatile mining vehicle I have used. Compact too which is nice, I can squeeze onto any CV. Even if I cant fit it on my CV, its very cheap and is easy to build another when I set down on a new planet

Awsome miner, also best as 1st little moveable Base.
It got defence, constructor, mining tools and everything other stuff u need.

This is the best miner! Can get it early on, saves me time and runs like a dream! I have at least 2 on every world! Never leave home without it!

Love the miner , but it locked up on me and wont steer , is that anything to do with the fixed mining mode as i didnt notice if it was in a different mode and i accidently switched it or is it just the game ?

Awesome miner! I've tried a lot of them and made a few myself, this is the best one so far. This thing is agile, I can just about drill straight down, collect the ore, then turn around and go back out the hole I made to get into the ore vein. Along with the Gun Pup, this is a must have vehicle I take with me when exploring planets with my CV.

Fixed issue with Turret malfunctioning due to the flat blocks on top. Please respawn fresh copy to gain resolution.

Thanks Sprockel! Really happy its doin so well!

I love this little HV. Every other drill rig I've tried gets stuck in the holes. Takes more time to dig them out than it does to mine. Haven't had this one get stuck yet. Throw some T2 drills on it and it's a beast for quickly getting ore.

Thanks Fabled and Bollen.

aRatNamedSammy unfortunateley its a give and take thing with miners this small.

phenomenal! puts my miner to shame lol excellence as always my good man!

Impressive design! Hopefully won't be ruined when they update flight mechanics... Great job!

its nice but goes upside down so easily..

Thanks Mr Fomich, Not sure I'm following. It's main focus is Mining. Going up against any opposition would be high risk. The need for side thrust was mainly to improve mining manuevers.

Thanks H!GHL4NDER! Thats allot of Miners!

as a pure mining tool, best I've used... and I've tried a LOT of them this week! I think 34 at last count!

Dual motors for right / left offset - too many. What are the results of combat contact?

Thanks Demiga!
Appreciate that Fi!

Thats the way to survive! Great job! THX

This thing is awesome. Definitely going to be my first build on new games - it's perfect for whatever environment, and the retractable turret/drills are great.

Thanks Thetomer! Glade you like it.

Necroide I'm not understanding

sry, bad using, no horizon....i drill 900m deep ;-) i cannot go up...but if i drill for ore, i catch them all....

I simply LOVE this lil bugger Finally a Drill HV where you don't have to worry about getting stuck! Great work!

Thanks Clay_Pigeon !

Track Driver really happy it’s performing
Tomash appreciate that :)
Thanks Light_gemini!

Thanks Boomer! Just swap T1 Drills for T2
Arazu im glad you like it :)
Myrmidon thanks. It’s always been a hole in my collection and I’m happy to finally have a formittable miner

It seems that the numerous vessels you have created gave you the experience to make a very good drill HV. I tested her and made the needed modifications to meet my needs. So now with laser drills and the changes she has above 2000 minutes of fuel, that means above 100 minutes of drilling time with all 6 laser drills working. Thumbs up from me too.

Easily the best miner I've tried.

Your builds always look far better than mine :( . Can you do a late game version? I have been playing with the block limits off, and made a T2 drill monster, but it is not pretty. More drills do make it eat ore faster, but then it takes more generators, then more RCS and thrusters, etc and it gets heavy and bulky. I have one with 12 T2 drills, and it can drill straight down, get the ores in seconds and back out, but it is sluggish and painful to travel any distance on planets with lots of uneven terrrain and with high gravity, like the new swamp planet. Those tiny twigs and evergreens will reach out and stop a HV cold from 40 m/s.

Now this is a quality build. Like the design a lot.
