OPC Mole - Small Mining Vehicle

In 1 collection by Foltast
Outer Planets Consolidation
75 items
Description
NO MODS | SURVIVAL READY
CONTAINS: DLC | SCRIPTS | OPTIONAL SUBGRIDS




Since the first colonies on the planets, OPC has been actively using Mole mining machines in all its settlements. The low cost of production and the minimum necessary crew allows you to use Mole even in small settlements. For increased productivity, this model is equipped with an automatic resource extraction system.
CET, a new Consolidation division, has developed a special module for the previously released VehicleControl, which allows you to track mining equipment and ore stored on board the transport.



Independent double cargo mergers
VehicleControl from CET
MiningControl from CET
Hydrogen engines for wheel motors or batteries recharge
Auto-mining mode (Subgrids!)



157 Small blocks
2.470 PCU
1 H-69 Turbo Engine
1 Max crew
1 Programmable block (used by VehicleControl)
4 Small hydrogen tanks
2 Mining Drill
2 Gyros


This model uses a special script designed for use on OPC models. The model can be used without a script, since this does not interfere with the vehicle management, but in this case it will be necessary to manually display the information you need on the screens (such as speed, resource reserves, etc.)

Script control (on the second toolbar):
button 4 > Next Ore Info Page
button 5 > Previous Ore Info Page
button 6 > Toggle Auto Ore Info Page Switch On/Off
button 7 > Change units (Km/h | Mph | m/s)

To activate automatic mining mode, you need to press 1 on the first toolbar. To deactivate, press the button 2. This mode allows you to automatically dig straight tunnels as the vehicle moves. To do this, it is necessary that the Mole is standing in the "launch shaft", located at the angle you need. the width of the shaft must be equal to the width of the vehicle. For convenience, such a mine can be dug using the Mole itself.

Using the automatic mining mode is optional and can be skipped if you want to use this model in survival.
When building, add wheels BEFORE the drills


Xaker_Two for script framework based on my ideas and concepts

None of the toolbars loaded correctly when built, so this thing doesnt function at all unless I manually do everything.

The mOS script has been fixed and all models using it have been updated. The scripts themselves (a few variations for different vehicles) are posted in https://discord.gg/zZHAccYpzV for you to manually update it in your worlds.

It is very sad to hear that you have experienced problems with this model. I always take all feedback into account when creating new models, so your feedback will help improve the next generation of mining rovers

The only thing this rover has is aesthetics.
This design did not take into actual function at all, and is the most useless piece of crap ever.
Never has a mining car gotten so much stuck as this one.
Reverse doesn't even function at all when you are in a slight downwards angle.
The engine is too high up and blows up from crashing into tunnnel ceilings.
This thing is now stuck in a ditch of it's own making where it belongs.

Ejectors were added as an option to empty all ores from Mole cargo or drills, at first I planned that only for emergency situations, where you may need to empty vehicle entirely, but I think I can add sorters with the script update
SerenityInChaos 27 Sep, 2021 @ 10:05am 
One question, are the ejectors handled in your script to only toss stone, without having a sorter in the connector tube pipeline?
SerenityInChaos 27 Sep, 2021 @ 10:03am 
No worries. I figured as much, but would not know if I didn't ask.
Foltast  [author] 27 Sep, 2021 @ 3:35am 
Hi, right now there are no plans to make a public version of the script
SerenityInChaos 25 Sep, 2021 @ 9:41pm 
Love the Mole, any way i could get an original copy of the script? I want to build a slightly bigger miner using the same concept.

Thank you
