Automated Drilling Platform v0.1

Description
Vid by Dswank and nukeguard


Disclaimer: This is my first mod and functionality is quite basic.
Primary intent is to reduce/avoid voxel deformation on DS

Shoutout to nukeguard for an amazing model
Shoutout to Tyrsis for IsInVoxel function

HUGE "PLEASE FORGIVE ME" to Jimmacle, rexxar and all of the script guys that i annoyed at the timespan of a month


About:

When placed in voxel passively generates gravel that it can then turn into ingots.
Build cost is equal to refinery.
voxel is any rock, asteroids/planets - it doesn't matter.

-------------------------
WARNING:
Doesn't generate gravel when not in voxel,
Doesn't generate gravel when offline

or

IN A 100 METER RADIUS OF ANOTHER PLATFORM
----------------------------

If there is another platform in a 100 meter radius both will be turned off

Currently the inventory of the single one maximises in approximately 30 minutes so get your containers ready

Example world:

TO DO:
-add fancy touches - Done
-make it actually tell why it is offline
-make gravel generation part be separate from gravel->ingot functionality

------------------
Constructive feedback appreciated

Nerd stats(subject to balance):
2000 gravel every 1.5s (8400 with 8 upgrades)
1mil litre inventory volume
150 gravel to make 1 iron ingot
250 for nickel
350 for cobalt
1500 for gold
15k for 1 uranium (15min base build time)
27k for 1 platinum (3min base build time)

can you describe how it is broken?

I'm pretty sure this mod is broken. Will there be a chance that this will be fixed?

question,,, sense this thing can produce so much gravel,, would it not pair well with a gravel sifter mod?
LookAtMyHorse  [author] Jan 7 @ 3:34pm 
last time i checked if you make ingots they get pulled fine but if you try to pull gravel from the top inventory it can only be pulled manually since it is an assembler

this thing is OP but really great, however I cant seem to get it to interact with conveyor systems, i can manually deposit its yield into containers by dragging items over but it wont let a sorter extract gravel from it's inventory. are there any known mod conflicts?

It's fine with me for the models

math's ore node mod only mines ore you place his blocks into so i'm sure it's possible
the script is nothing fancy so ask nuke for the model perms

to add ores pretty sure you can just add blueprints in an sbc file so if you don't want to clone the whole mod you can just add the ores like that

i sadly don't have the time right now to tinker in visual studio, work and all

Was wondering if i could get permission to reproduce/modify this mod to work with other mods?
wanted to add other ores such as titanium and also split the platform into specific version, ie iron platform, cobalt platform, etc.

also do you think its possible to use a modified version of the script that runs in an ore detector to limit what the platform can produce requiring it to be over top of a specific ore to make it?
