Mammoth Mining Rig

Description
Mining rig created in survival intended to mine resources buried less than 60 meters below the surface of ice lakes. It utilizes 9 drills attached to 5 pistons and an advanced rotor to achieve its task.
Contents:
1 piston used to stabilize the drill fixture during driving
4 pistons used to lock the rig to the ground during mining operations
3 large cargo containers for large hauls
1 oxygen generator to fill hydrogen bottles
1 battery connected through a merge block to allow for replacement batteries or packs
6 connectors pointed downward on a piston to eject ore without requiring perfect alignment to a station while staying inside the profile of the rig
1 small reactor when not running on battery power
1 antenna
1 ore detector
a small elevator to enter and exit the main room.

RECOMMENDED USE:
I would HIGHLY advise the use of this rover only on ice lakes. It's large size and the low strength of tires makes navigating hills difficult.

For mining operations; decrease the height offset on the wheels using "2" bound on the first toolbar. Push "3" and "4" on that toolbar to lock to the ground and releast the drill fixture.
Change to toolbar 2 and use "7" to move the rotor into position. The drills will touch the ground when ready. Push "6" on toolbar 2 to start the drills. The pistons are bound to numbers 1-5 on toolbar 2. EXTENDING ALL THE PISTONS AT THE SAME TIME IS NOT SAFE. ONE SHOULD EXTEND 2 PISTONS AT A TIME UNTIL THEY ARE ALL EXTENDED.

I am not responsible for any actions taken by the almightly Clang during operation.
