Magnet mode mod

[Randomchance]

Is there any mods out there equivalent to the Magnet Mode mod in minecraft?

Hopefully I won't get lynched too much by the diehard realism crowd, but sometimes I just want to mine without spending half the time chasing down projectile ores.

Use gravity generators, dig a hole in whatever ore spot youre trying to mine, and widen it and make it deeper to get more ore out of it.

Thats not a bad idea. Thanks!

Do you know of any pre gravity generator trick or mod to do it by hand?

build a large ship with a catcher in front, place a collector in the middle, and a gravity generator behind. so that everyhing will be sucked into this collector. thats one of the ways. anothe ris: build a drillingship. there are dozents of way to mine here. you dont need no silly mod. for example, my latest creation is a base inside an asteroid, in that asteroid is a tunnels triaght down. down there is a gravity generator, above at the end another, nor all the precious ores hover in the middle between them, you can also change the options of the generators to let them hover at the needet height. now you can easylie pick up everysthing you want. just get creative with your work

Also: the respawn ship begins with a connector on top. If you increase the height of its gravity generator to 150m, you can easily use that to catch ore from hand mining until you can build something more useful. The red and blue ships from easy start aren't made that way though - they're really more for show than actually doing anything.

So use the generator to pull things towards the respawn ship and catch the stuff that hits the collector? I suppose you could use it either way, put the ship over the hole and have it pushing down to keep stuff in the hole.

I'll have a play around and see what works for me. Thanks all.

or at the very least, cut the smallest hole possible then widen it inside for mining. you'll lose a lot less ore to space that way. (until you can build a gravity generator, if you're not using the respawn ship)

Now that a few months have passed (and quite a lot of that spent in minecraft) does anyone know if there has been an equivalent "magnet mode" mod created for the space suit as per OP?

[Professor Nipples]

Not sure about the suit but there is a great Magnet like mod, Gravity Collectors...works like a charm especially coupled with the flexible conveyers

Woo! 1 year later and the mod exists! Automatic Ore Pickup by Phoenix
