Mining Gun

Description
A handy tool for bulk mining, this turns big rocks into lots of little rocks. Find it under the 'survival' tab of the foraging table; normal fire mines the foreground, and alt-fire mines background tiles. Not recommended for use around anything you want to keep intact.

(Also available in "large".)

This mod was created when Starbound was in beta, and every so often we'd have to restart our games from scratch. I've tried to keep it in the spirit of beginning the game - you'll have to mine enough iron to make it in the first place, so some effort is required - but it will make mining a lot easier once you get it.

Works with my 50 or so other mods, even on custom planets and asteroids. Some might say it's cheesy, but the fact is that humanity has mined with explosives since forever, so it makes sense that interstellar species could too and the future would have even better ways to mine. Ultimately, I only have so much time to game so it's nice not having to grind for sand to make 1,000 glass for my hotel or base.

10 out of 10 it fills up my inventory fast and doesn't destroy my frames most of the time

God bless this mod. It has saved me soooo much time it ain't even funny. 10/10.

@BaileyRW: Sorry, that's a long way from my intention. It will let you mine enough resources to build one of those nifty XS Corporation Mechs, though. :)

I give this a 5 star review. it's just as good at destroying large areas as it is at destroying my FPS!
kind of wish it would come with the option to hurt enemies though

@Doctor Nope: Maybe, but don't expect it any time soon - I'm fairly busy IRL these days. What do you mean by "smaller blast radius", exactly? Relate it to a character's height.
Doctor Nope Jul 16, 2019 @ 7:52am 
by any chance, can you make a smaller version of mining gun? with smaller blast radius and more precise...

Oh lol I should of thought of the foraging station.

Look for the mining guns in the third tab of the foraging station. Other mods oughtn't to interfere with that placement, unless you've got one that affects item categories.
