Mole Moon Miner

Spiff's Practical Engineered Solutions, a division of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, presents the Mole Moon Miner, a vanilla small-grid design without mods, and contains no rotors or pistons making it a perfect survival-ready solution for large mining projects. Designed as a high-capacity vertical miner, the Mole Moon Miner extracts ores effortlessly with its 12 optimally-spaced drills, automatically ejecting waste stone, and transports ore in 4 large cargo containers. Power is supplied by 4 large batteries. Utilizing hydrogen thrusters, the Mole Moon Miner operates equally well in space and on planets, but with restricted ore capacity for gravity greater than 0.9g. These features make the Mole Moon Miner a perfect solution for the player who needs to get to an ore deposit, quickly extract a large quantity of ore, and get back home again.

An AutoLevel script is used when in a planet's or moon's gravity well: AutoLevel by Dixie Normus

NO MODS, NO ROTORS/PISTONS; SURVIVAL READY AND PROJECTOR BUILDABLE!

NOTE: Ingame scripts (in advanced settings) must be enabled for the AutoLevel script to function!

NOTES FOR BUILDING WITH A PROJECTOR IN SURVIVAL
1. Build a rotor frame on a powered grid; remove the large-grid rotor head and replace with a small-grid rotor head and lock rotation.
2. Stack 5 armor blocks, minimum, vertically atop the small-grid rotor head to provide sufficient clearance for building the miner.
3. Build a small-grid projector on top of the topmost armor block; for consistency, rename the projector to be "MM - Projector".
4. Load the blueprint into the projector; click on the setting to retain the blueprint after construction is complete.
5. Build the blueprint.
6. When completed, grind away the small-grid rotor head, armor blocks, and rotor frame, leaving the projector in place for future repairs.
