Akra - Sciuro (Model A) {RMt-O-H} - Bootstrap Tunnel Miner

Version 0.3.6 (2021-02-07)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Sciuro aims to balance frugal use of limited resources in early survival scenarios while still providing lasting functionality. Designed for Moon gravity, but equally at home in Deep space, this single drill mining ship will collect the ore to bootstrap your industrial empire.

- Better performance can be achieved by adding on a second hydrogen thruster in the forward, up, and down (in the rear of the ship) direction.
- In Deep Space gravity add two Conveyor Frames and a Large Cargo Container on the rear Medium Cargo Container to increase cargo capacity.

Why are there greyed out icons on the Cockpit toolbar and how do I fix it?
Manually reset up the Toolbar to fix the issue. Projectors are wonky. Groups have been used as much as possible to prevent this from happening, but that workaround can't be used with Run commands for Programmable Blocks.
