Automatic Deep Core Mining Rig Zeta-11B

Description
Vanilla! Basically Free Rescources for everyone.

---------------

The Deep Core Minig Rigs where developed after new technologies made a Planets core rescource, stone, a viable alternative for the production of basic and common components like Steel Plates and Tubes, Construction Components, Motors and many more.

This Rig is designed to be adaptable to even the most hostile of environments and can be deployed everywhere, be it Earthlike Planets orAirless Moons. Its Habitat is completly sealed and ready to sustain a Crew for extended Periods of time, it can however operate completelyon its own. It will continuosly produce Materials without any Input by an Engineer. Just a pickup of the refined Materials and Componets isrequired, for wich it features mutiple Docking Points and a Landing Pad.

Hello, Engineers.

With everyone building their own Space Elevators right now i figured it was about time to revert the Technology and build a fully automatic Mining Facility.
So, this is essentially a Facility that will continue to produce all Materials build from Iron, Silicone and Nickle on its own, as long as there is Planet underneath it to mine. It works by lowering a Drillplatform into a shaft while building a Rail to run on from the Rescources its mining.

This Build enables you to just press a button and never worry about Steel Plates again.
Its on a small scale, and the onboard Assemblers arent nearly enough to use all the Rescources it mines in time, but nothing stops you from just slapping more on there and go as big as you want.
It was tested in multiple Worlds, Creative and Survival. The Multiplayer is not tested however. Feel free to try on your own risk.

EDIT:
The way projectors work wont let you project ANY subgrids. That means the drillbit will need to be build by hand, if you want to use it in survival.
Sadly there is no workaround for this problem in the game currently.


Features:
-Fully automated Mining and Production.
-Survival Kit
-Oxygen available
-Landing pad
-Timer operated
-Instructions displayed in the Command Center
-Survival Ready

TROUBLESHOOTING:

For problems with the drill disconnecting from the rail, try the settings described on the last picture.

Good build, it works fine but after a while of digging it breaks. then i have to figure out what is going on to make it break. Even after i fix it, it still breaks but the second time i cant fix it

i can get the machine to work after spawning creative but when i go back to survival after a couple of rounds the drill head, it just drops off the base, its a shame because its a great design look and concept but i need something that can work in survival :steamsad:

Very clever design, the drill subgrid moves like a worm, paving the way for itself through a projector

If you are using any Mod that extends the working range of tools make sure to move the welders up and back one block or it will weld the connector and merge block under the drills! just took me way to long to figure out why it was stopping short every time...:steammocking:

The drill platform is missing even in creative. It doesn't get projected.

Where's the fucking on button

my drill wont budge from its spot (even if i convert the drill part into a ship)
tested it in survival and creative.

Great Idea, great design but unfortunately it does not work. It welds too slowly to make connectors and after just 2 of these it stops working because it disconnects and falls down.
It works on creative mode, but in survival it doesnt really cut it.

if your drill is coming apart still after changing the programming blocks. add a straight conveyor tube and a welder directly below the bottom connector and tube, make sure it is one block shorter than the reach of the other welders.
