Sprite Miner mk1

Spiff's Practical Engineered Solutions, a division of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, presents Sprite offworld miner with four optimally-spaced drills, and one medium and one large cargo container for ore storage. With realistic 1-1-1 settings, the ore capacity of the cargo containers, cockpit, connector, and four drills is approximately 93 tons. Each drill equipped with a conveyor sorters and ejector to collect only ore (and ice) and dump stone. With only 148 blocks, Sprite is highly optimized to be a low-cost mining solution for a survival startup. Sprite has two batteries for power, but also includes two small reactors for backup. The nearly spherical aspect ratio of Sprite allows for full rotational maneuverability within a mined borehole. As a tunneler, Sprite clears a 10-meter square opening. Finally, the front-facing connector makes docking and offloading ore a breeze!

NO MODS, NO DLC, NO ROTORS/PISTONS; SURVIVAL READY AND PROJECTION BUILDABLE!

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
1. Build a small-grid projector on a rotor frame that's located on a powered grid; remove the large rotor head and replace with a small-grid rotor head
2. Build a projector on top of the small-grid rotor head.
3. Load the blueprint into the projector; click on the setting to retain the blueprint after construction is complete.
4. Build the blueprint.
5. When completed, grind away the rotor frame and small-grid rotor head, leaving the projector in place so future repairs can be easily made.
