This miner will obliterate. So it is best for smaller asteroids. There is no way for scripts to determine ore locations except by actually drilling it with the drills.

Hello, do the miners obliterate asteroids or do they mine specific ore volumes and avoid mining through pure rock?

The STATUS module was getting a compile error due to changes in SE 1.187 scripting.

I also updated the blueprint with the current version of automatic LCDs

Not responding to commands, like set home etc. -> http://prntscr.com/kikrpp

I have not tested with 1.187, but I don't think anything should be broken....

How are you setting the target?

DS or single player?

Hi. Is this still working after this last update? I set the target but nothing change on the LCD

sensor state is not needed for operation. It's a tool that will set the sensors to the correct distances if the size of the ship changes.

well the sensor state PB comes up with errors for me, other then that i just cant get it to mine, probibly setting it up wrong

It should still work. If you find any problems, please let me know.
Adaephon Sep 13, 2017 @ 12:08pm 
Does this still work correctly with latest build of SE?
