Update: Minor improvement updates have been made along with the conveyor junction have been replaced with a medium container for some additional storage.

General stuff
Role: Planetary Miner.
power source: Batteries.
Terrain: Atmosphere.
Controls: Remote.
Grid Type: Small.
Weapons: 2 Gatling guns for minimum defense while on the job.
Scripts: Yes (Automatic LCDs 2)
Mods: No

Info and tips
* The drone is built for usage with a transport rover or other cargo ferrying vehicle to use as a drop off as the single large cargo container may not be enough to feed a production line on its own.
* A script help keeping track of your cargo space and inventory.
* While some extra ore can be carried in the drills it is not recommended to go too far beyond the limits of the main storage container as flight performance can be heavily reduced.

Wow that's some high praise. Thank you, I really appreciate that. =)
Haven't tried other workshop drones so wouldn't really know how different they are but I'm very glad this one seem to work really well!

some further testing with this design reveals just how exceedingly far more advanced and useful it is compared to all other mining drones that I have tested

The script is the "Automatic LCDs" script if I remember correctly.
