ok am i crazy or what i cant figure out what custom data it needs to be able to mine ice

Excellent mod, would be nice to be able have a custom data/option line that allows for the extraction of ice and dirt.

I don't know if it's my PC or your mod but the drill doesn't work when you change the settings in the custom data.

I noticed that the power requirements are very strange. With several speed modules it says it can use up to 7 MW but in fact it doesn't. Also it isn't any faster.

Yield modules don't seem to do as much as they say in the block notes. With all modules set to yield it should produce 400%, however it only increases by 50%.

In addition there is a weird static lightning effect at the very first block placed from that test base whenever that thing is running. Not sure why.

It says it has to be 1km distance between two grids, however here you say it is 30m?

this is so cool

hey got a question could it be that the mod is broken?

regardless of what i try i cant get tit to mine stone

i have removed the no from NoStone didnt work
removed everything in CD didnt work

Does this mod remove ore from a deposit or is it just spawning ore into its inventory if it detects a deposit in its range?

Is there a way to have it extract stone? I use a sifter mod that likes stone, and other mods like this won't take from conveyor, I've tried removing the nostone from the custom data but that doesn't work.

Couldn't duplicate any distance bug, but there is some difficulty in changing the Custom Data after the drill has located an ore. If you begin with the drill set to NoStone, and it detects an ore, you have to completely remove the drill and build a new one (or reload the world). Easiest way to replicate this is in creative mode; if you change it from NoStone after it has started harvesting Iron or whatever, the only way to make it harvest stone is by copy/pasting the rig back in.

Tested it on my DS and it seems to be working

That info should probably be a part of the description for the mod, don't you think? :)

I haven't tried using this mod in a while, what about the other issue mentioned? These seem to stop working as soon as the player moves a short distance away from the mines and auto-shut down?

To mine stone/ice/dirt, you have to add Stone or Ice or Dirt in the customdata :)

Okay - Guess an update.

I got it working sort of. Two things though.

Might be my own misunderstanding, but the tags under Custom Data, those should allow/prevent the mining of stone and such correct? Despite removing the tags, there doesn't seem to be any change?

Other issue - Mine seems to stop based on distance. If I move anywhere greater than 500+ meters from the drill, it will turn itself off, requiring me to manually turn it back on.

This doesn't seem to be working. Few days ago, you said you fixed it, but the last update says it was from 2/7/2020.

Did you forget to publish, or did you push the update somewhere else?

Fixed it :)

yeah, i have to update it for the update...

Hey, noticed this mod doesn't seem to be working again. It shows Queue as Empty and does nothing, but does consume power. Tried it on a bunch of different bodies, in modded and unmodded games.

thank you <3

Updated! Should now work correctly for ice.

any way to fix it for ice?

Just checked again, and it still doesn't work. screenshots below.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2340089921 In silver voxels, but no laser
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2340089933 Block setup
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2340089946 Has power and is on.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2340089962 Nothing's gathered.

Do you have any of the DLC's? maybe that's it? Cause, for whatever reason it works for you, it's not working for me.

Looks like it can't be told to mine ice or stone even if the customdata is set... works for other minerals though.

I get the sameno beam,not able to mine anything on an asteroid. the drill turns on, then after 5s off

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2128078497

This was my testing setup, power, fuel, in the voxels, ore directly underneath, and still no beam.

It's on an asteroid, but I can't get it to drill ice or stone regardless of whether it's on a planet or an asteroid.

what planet is it?

Mine is also powered, in voxel and removed the custom data controls. Still can't get it to drill ice. It works fine on some deposits, but I couldn't tell ya why.

Yup, it was powered, partly in the voxels, and I tried using all and none of the custom data controls. the beam wouldn't fire, no ores would show up. and I had had only 1 in the entire world.

Are you powering it? Are you putting NoRock NoIce NoDirt in the customs data?

I hope this gets fixed soon, I've got an entire mining base built around these drills, and there's no other mod that does what these do.

Doesn't work for me. I dont know what iam doing wrong... i've tried it on a planet(EarthLike) and some asteroids. it uses energy but nothing happens....

This does not seem to be working on my dedicated server. Does not even show laser.

I think I found an issue. It seems to not be working on custom planets.

Just change RaycastLength and RaycastLengthVisual in OilRigAlim.cs under Data/Scripts.

And be sure to link back to this mod in the description please :)

Hello there,
Is there a way to increase it's range of picking up but also maybe limit it's minimum range?

I run a hardcore server which has ores spawning in from 250m to some 500m. Could you make a version that covers this range or is there a way I can edit the range.

That's not possible with the ingame API, sorry!

Make it not a mod, but a script! So I can use it in servers that don't have this mod.

How do you mean? It works without scripts.

Pls make a script of this!

yes, it can and it will work!
Please do invite me to a server with it in, especially if it uses Torch, as it helps with testing.

Looks like a very interesting mod, gonna try it out in singleplayer later. Can this be used in server with voxel destruction disabled?
