Akra - Sciuro (Model B) {RMt-P-H} - Pertam Gravity Bootstrap Tunnel Miner

Version 0.3.3 (2021-08-02)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Sciuro-B aims to balance frugal use of limited resources in early survival scenarios while still providing lasting functionality. Designed for Pertam gravity (1.2g), but equally at home in lesser gravity, this single drill mining ship will collect the ore to bootstrap your industrial empire. The Sciuro-B extends the Sciuro chassis to solve the difficulties of high gravity environments; two H2/O2 Generators and a Hydrogen Engine provide independence from a supporting base.

The ship is designed for Nose Down mining and is capable supporting a Payload Capacity of 22,032 kg, and slowly backing out of the mined tunnel Nose Down.

Maximum Ship+Payload Capacity is 39,945 kg.

  FAQ

Why are there greyed out icons on the Cockpit toolbar and how do I fix it?
Manually reconfigure 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.

I've added Cargo Container to the ship and the LCD screens aren't correct anymore.
Add the cargo containers to the 'Sciuro-B Possible Ore Cargo Containers' group. This group is used to determine which cargo containers count for Ore Cargo usage.
