When you get to the point you mine asteroids for pixel refining, you can do it much faster using matter manipulator than the vehicle's drill. Problem is that the movement is extremely slow in 0 gravity so when you find a massive ore field you have to leave some of them floating, and wait to collect with mech later. It also saves the mech energy and you can do longer trips.

Anyway the default 5 mins for items to disappear was just too short time, they would vanish before i collect.

This is really useful for when I die underground and need two or three minutes just to get down and still need to find the exact location.

Thank you for your mod. But. What is the practical use of this? Could you pls explain me that? Thanks.

Nice, this is super usefull.
