- Zero mods used

This is a mobile drilling platform with a rover attached for moving it around / unloading ores. The rover is pretty standard and doesn't do anything fancy. The trailer has a custom scripts to control the mining operation (full afk mining):

1. Move to desired location (flat ground is preferred)

2. Handbrake on, detach connector, detach merge block and drive away.

3. Press the TOP button on the trailer to setup it's position (lowers, locks to the ground, moves arm into position).

4. Press the MIDDLE button on the trailer to set the drill in place.

5. Press the BOTTOM button on the trailer start the mining operation.

6. When finished press the TOP button to return the trailer to mobile position (all steps in 3 reversed).


Mining takes approximately 20 minutes, it will pause if the cargo gets full, or you can pause it manually using the "Pause" argument against the 'OPT.PB-Miner' block.

- It will mine approximately 850k ore max, playing on "Realistic" cargo level settings will keep you VERY busy unloading, testing it with x10 cargo levels it filled to 60% when complete. Warning that max weight may break the mining arm.

I believe it is survival friendly, the only sub-grid is the drill arm which is only 14 blocks (build these going towards the trailer / along the roof and then use the TOP button possibly twice - let it finish each time - to set it all in place):

8 x small conveyor
2 x small piston
1 x small hinge - has to be oriented so -90' is down
2 x small piston
1 x Drill

- The above HAVE to be named correctly for the script to work (as per original blueprint).
- The script will probably need you to recompile it "OPT.PB-EA2" for anything to work.
- You can add more blocks to extend it's reach so long as the names are kept.
