Mobile-Mining-Base-(CV)

Description
Mobile planetary mining base.
Build as an CV, but not build for intersystem travel.
Single cone-shaped structure around a central elevator shaft.
Kept cheap to minimize factory time and the loss when leaving behind on a planet...(or upgrade it for longer travels)
To start mining, just position yourself above a deposit and start digging down. To get back up just add elevator pieces to the shaft (remove when the deposit is empty).
In case of a deposit on a slope, just add something cheap (like truss) to the bottom where needed to stabilize.

First floor;
- the cockpit
- 4 constructors (to convert your ores into ingots)
- 9 storage boxes (you can always add more)
- medical station
- O2 station
Second floor;
- 36 growing plots with grow lights (for your inter-mining snack)
- enough space for your food fabricator and fridges
Third floor;
- RCS
- 4 small generators
- 8 large fuel tanks
- 4 large O2 tanks
- 4 sentry guns (behind the doors)
- 3 ammo boxes
- Core

Can you please rebuild this and make it slightly bigger where it can hold a warp drive, pentaxid tank and a few 320k cargo controllers? Would be a cool mobile CV base but it has to be able to warp to the next solar system over.

@ xander

Checked it myself and did not have any problem. Please make sure your server allows CV's on planet, or maybe a CV limit is set.

@ Sychoboy

Make sure that when adding elevators, you have enough clearing so the new elevator piece is not touching or imbedded in the surface.

Really like this as a mobile base. Only problem is adding the elevator causes the ship to move around. So I just park next to the deposit and mine normally.

You can always load it in creative and delete the grow plots

I like it, only wish you had left the area for growing plots empty, that would be something that most people don't have on hand is that many growing plots, takes time to gather the many things needed and it is something that will make some say...nah, I can get something I'll expand on later.
