or maybe i have to go above a deposit bc i actully dint do that

@patrickrandall1981 for the atuo i have the same issue but i am just going to turn the docking connecters on and then manully dock em bc eh and they are loose at first but manull. but yeahi (kindi) agrree

.

oooooooooo

good shit brother man

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK M8

NO OXYGEN

Do I have to pay for my own oxygen?

Cant seem to fly tihs thing without the drones wiggling around to the point they break off and fly out into space being lost forever. I also cant seem to get the automated drilling thing to happen even if i end up where i want to be with the drones still available. Putting in some merge blocks to help stabalize the connection points might be a good idea I jmight try doing that myself but yeah the automated drilling is kind of broken on this for me anyways.

You had me at Orange and Blue :)

thanks man, im not that at great at tech and knowing when vids are up so could you gimme a shout when everything is ready, keep up the work its outstandingly good quality

That's a great idea - I can put a vid out on that soon! Thanks for stopping by :)

hi could we have a video tutorial on working the drones on both barges and bomb deactivation on the transfer station

I'm hoping when performance picks back up, I'll be able to take your ships and stations to the galaxy. XD

Ahh, that makes sense. I only found this awesome mod through the popular filter.

I've been meaning to come back to this (and the others) to update them - they all predate the O2 update.

The lack of oxygen is a little regrettable. I've been playing a new world to re-familiarize myself with the game, calling it the "Void Corp Sponsorship Kit". But trying to refit the thing for oxygen, THAT'S a challenge.

I love the description on how to launch the drones and recovery.. very nicely done.. for me the drones seem to just drill through the asteroid and then fly off to space and I end up loosing them.. doing some slight modivications on the drones to make them more hands on friendly but still keeping the mining processes in tact..

Great design! It can be in my fleet any day :D

Truly love this thing in every aspect. Great build!

I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback and suggestions. Thanks for checking it out; I’m glad you enjoyed it and I’m glad to hear you have plans to modify it and make it your own!

Very nice design, tried it out today.

I particularly like:

* Panoramic views. Excellent use of glass components to allow for a "living feel" inside.
* Sensor-activated doors and airlocks.
* Gravity throughout the ship. Another detail that makes for a "home away from home" feeling.
* Overall would go great with some "atmospheric pressure" and nutrition mod, to further add to that "I live here" feeling.
I know you said you play vanilla, but seeing that KSH commented they are VERY disinclined to implement any of these, you might want to consider an exception.
* Gravity vacuum plus gravity deflection (to protect the ship).

For my own use, I'd modify the drones section to accomodate a larger and fully automated miner, and also replace the offload concept to vanilla connectors, since dropping ore into space is laggy and collectors are still buggy (They don't always collect everything on dedicated servers).
I'd also replace the vacuum with a simpler concept like here http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=379478283 .
(The piston / rotor mount is optional - but the gravity generator ontop of and facing the collector works VERY well, and saves on materials a lot.)

Very nice ship :0)

yay, thanks! \o/

Now off with me to go build it all!
Going to rate after I tried it out :0)

Hi Sir_lancealittle (love the name btw),

I just added change notes to the last update (all of the recent changes were just fixing what is mentioned there); and, the mining drone blueprint is now available in the Void Corp collection.

Thanks and happy engineering!

Hi there!

Looks like an awesome bit of equipment for sure!
I see you updated it just today, could you either add change notes, or tell us in the description what has changed?
(are the drones available as blueprints yet? If so, could you post a link to the relevant workshop page in the description here?) ;)
I'm fiddling about with other auto miners these days, hence I'm eagerly awaiting yours.

Thanks Shadow_Wolf , and yes it can be tricky to strike a balance between safety, reliability, and cost effectiveness.

Nice work with this one, i've been trying to make a more survival friendly mining/processing ship that consumes less resources to build, my problem is that i always reinforce it well with armor and make backups for almost everything, which makes them costly

i think i might try this out mwhaahaha

Awesome!
