Hey guys !

Here is an automated and improved version of my previous Asteroid Drill. The first one became obsolete a few days after I published it since the advanced rotor came out, so i decided to recreate it with some extra features.

This one is able to mine throught an asteroid without any action from the user.

The thrust is made automatic thanks to timer blocks that periodically start and stop a few thrusters. It is possible to configure how much time these thrusters are going to be turned on and the periodicity at which they are turned on.
I could simply put thrusters that permanently push it forward, but it is better to wait for the head to rotate a bit before pushing again in order to avoid damages.

Improvments since the previous version :
- Configurable automatic thrust system.
- Self-repairing head.
- Extra weight and thrusters for extra stability.
- Faster head / body alignment
- No longer requires to pause the head and transfer ore periodically.
- No more spacing between head and body.
- Garbage collection system.

And it's still as compact as the previous one, despite everything i added to it !

Known issues :
- Connectors seem to cause of lot of clipping. I should maybe remove some of them or connect them to each other.
- Self repairing system is not working.
- Interior gravity field is not configured to fit the ships size.

For more informations please take a look at the previous version of thi ship.

Hoping you like it ! Comments are always appreciated ! :D
