it does not show in the block picker

did you pressed right click while drilling (or is the key stuck, can happens sometimes)? Then ore vanish yes

It's not breaking ore? It digging alright but the ore vanishes

Is this only for tunneling?

rip

spotlight video creator seems to be gone. sad

There are really great mods, but this mod is by far the most effective one I have. Great thanks!

Yooo thats sick. I can make a mini Bagger 288

dude i was thinking about that og mod like last week all time, i miss them, if i can find some free time ill see if i can make something like that.

honestly i'd love if you'd make more compact ship tools like this excavator here, like a 3x1x6 welder maybe? a modernised version of this basically

I'll look into it, if i find something that i can do i will update the mod

Newest release this causes the ship to spin uncontrollably when on a piston; also parts seem to be invisible sometimes? Don't think the invis. is mod related.

That is way too big for normal use

Thank you, appreciated

ok, what name?

the large version is under a different name.

Would be nice if large grid version was a thing too

does anyone have tips for how to utilize this? im a very very bad builder

@Crone you probably have to create entitycontainer that will change this

awesome mod, thanks for the work you did there :D
is there anyway to increase the inventory volume without changing the game settings?

This mod deserves more attention

Looks nice can't wait to test it

Real nice job .... would love to see them be better tho. on piston mining rigs the pistons dont go slow enough to stop hitting the ground and braking stuff. Would even be happy with them costing more to make them if it ment they were better.

I found a bug where the orientation of the block is face towards the rear of the bucket instead of in front of bucket which causes PAM script remote control orientation error

thx Plineo

@EYESTER already done by another modder.

Now we need the large and maybe the very large one. love it

Was looking forward to using this but I wasn't able to get it to work for me. Also, I'm too non-tech savy to be able to tell you where it went wrong or why, hopefully other players will be able to describe the issue better. Thanks for allowing access and sorry for not be of any help sorting the problem, it is still a really cool looking design.

May be due to it not even on the G menu for all blocks or even as a block tool that PAM cant see it. You have to use search bar to even find it. I would suggest you look at the link DragonSlayer posted to see how you set a tool up correctly in SE.

For some reason I can't get these to work on PAM auto miners. As soon as I replace the vanilla drills PAM wants the remote and sensor placed backwards and but then the miner tries to drill in reverse...

I can’t seem to find it even when and yes I have activated it can anyone help please??

Me want, me wantie...

Awesome, we need this in vanilla asap!

Thank you :D

@Xandrak
heres a big one, not by same person though
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2846577007

Where is the big version? :o

But seriously a question: is it as good as a normal small driller (same speed, getting same amount of item-ore from in world-ore, same energy consuming?)

i dont do mods, but i am making an exception

just refitted my drillball with your mod....works even better and looks at least a little bit less weird (basicly a ball of conveyors with drills and the other neccessary things to fly) . just love it.

Will be good if you can make square holes with this one.
I can see this for making flat roads.

Completely understand. I didn't realize the weight was attached to components. Should have realized seeing the volume it can hold is attached to size of the drill.

@UnRealLimits The weight is set by the components that are used to craft the tool, changing any of it to less would make it cheaper while the performance is still the same as the default drill.

To compensate I would have to edit its performance to a third of the standard drill, which is already a pain at times and where I consider performance to be minimal before it becomes useless or impractical.


The best option I can think of right now is to make a lightweight variant of the original excavator that performs worse while being lighter and cheaper. but I will at least wait so that I can make another model for the bucket wheel so that it is more complete.

Works amazingly now, thank you Pino. One request though. Seeing they are a third of the size of the original drills could they also be a third of the weight? Currently the drills and excavator are 920Kg. So if possible doing something like 307Kg for your mod. I understand if you cant or wont do this. Just a suggestion.

You're a godsend. Ill check it out now to confirm it's working.

I love you.... :D

@Kater Lysator @UnRealLimits I fixed the not showing up on seat G menu issue, now you can use the mouse to dig.

God how i look forward to that....my brain explodes with ideas on how to build my next mining ship to a) go crazy on dem rocks and b) never need another one again.... :)

i will look into the Shiptool problem later, thx for the heads up.

Just tested in a clean new save with no other mods. Only the shiptool Problem remains. Inventory was never full, had a great stone-disposal mod. A mod called "Wave Spawner" went crazy and spawned a bazilion of ships outside of my range, so i didnt see them. no lags when flying around...but voxelchanges didnt register properly anymore. took me around an hour to remove all of the excess ships/grids in adminmode :D Did i mention that i love your Drill?

I have the same issue as Kater with the ship tools part at least. It doesn't show up in ship tools to be able to use left click/ right click for drilling or clearing out large spaces. I ran the game in a new map with no other mods and the wheeled excavator was there but still was not part of the ship tools. I would love to use this on some of my small ships but right now with it not showing up on ship tools I have no use for it. Looks amazing and works well if i wanted to make some kind of strip mining machine I guess.

@Kater Lysator This mod is just a new model for a drill, it still has the same performance as the standard small drill, but smaller. Check if this happens when the drill head inventory is full of ore, this is the only cause I can think of that could be a bottleneck of this drill.
