Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the eleventh episode of this semi-hardcore survival series, in this episode I spend some time upgrading the base, mostly the power systems. After that I decided to start building a brand new mining ship for the planets!

Hey Bud, on the stacking of the solar panels, it works when they are back to back, resting against each other, it really does work, you placed yours away from the first one, Edit, Interesting design on the small grid, i was thinking about the 3x3x1 conveyor spacer, so you would have hydro tank, spacer, hydro, spacer, cargo, spacer cargo, and the last cargo could be so you have a small conveyor at the end, which you could put a sorter on to make sure the drills empty, also by having those spacers you would be able to have thrust go in the other direction aswell, and your connectors would both be at the same point on either side of the ship, but thats just my OCD kicking in, lol. basically toy just spread out the ship a little more and turn the last cargo so you get 2 small and 2 large on the outside, with a small on the bottom. I liked the beam blocks you put in there to, i have tried so many times to use those, and i always just make it look stupid. i just dont know how to use em, obviously.

Yes, I do this all the time. They have to be touching with no space between them just as @cabbageplays6710 described.

You should put in ai blocks in both big ship and small ship to make it coll like you say "Computer. Initiate autopilot!" and automatic docking.

@maleficentia8390 Жыл бұрын

Could also simply put a light on the base connector and a camera on the ship underside connector and make docking easier.

Quick tip for QOL just in case you or anyone reading is not aware: You can quickly move items between two cargo containers from within the inventory menu by double left clicking the loot in question If the items are moving into the incorrect container when doing so all you need to do is ‘select’ the correct inventory on the list by left clicking it once

Yeah I do that quite a lot 😎👍

Were you placed the small triangles may need a rub rail on top of them, eg. Beams, because you scrape the sides going in and out. Miner is looking great tho . Watched and Liked 👍

Looks like it's time to build some landing lights on the asteroid base ;-) Maybe stick a couple of hydrogen engines on the base? More work than solar, and less efficient than nuclear, but ice is readily available in large amounts. At least it's a backup. Speaking of mining ships, I've seen one in a workshop showcase that was absolutely massive, with the front end covered in drills. It was literally able to eat its way through asteroids. Imagine covering the front of the Prometheus with drills, and there you have it. Maybe a bit of overkill for your purposes, but it was pretty impressive. I wonder if you could put the miner cockpit in the middle of the ship, between the cargo containers and the hydrogen tanks, or if that would make for much too complicated plumbing. I don't know how practical it is, but I like the look of building "RCS clusters" from the small thrusters: put down a conveyor junction, and put thrusters on all of the available faces. That gives you thrust in most directions. All in all, the miner is looking pretty good so far! I particularly like how you're taking some inspiration from the Prometheus. Don't forget to put some lights on it ;-)

@TheGarageGamer86 Жыл бұрын

Yeah everything is severely under lit at this point isn't it! I am kinda voiding doing the base as it is supposed to be temporary, but at this point maybe not so much lol. I think I have seen the one you are talking about 😎👍. I want to build a massive mining ship at some stage, when resources free up a little. Yeah you could put it there quite easy, just need some conveyor frames etc 👌 Yeah someone made a mining ship out of that ship I had in the 4K Challenge 😎👍 It was a beast haha Yeah that would look really cool on certain builds! I think for larger small grid builds it works a little better though 😊.

For smal gridd miners I recomend a stout design. If the design is about the same lenght in al directions with a somewhat round shape, you cam move much more freely within your miningshafts. Bigger miners can be built with aditional drills so they can rightklick mine savely to the orevains. My starter atmominer has the esentials smushed at the front of a smal gridd large container with four drills in the corners of a industrial cockpit. Its shape made me go black and jellow on the coloursceme and naming it bumblebee. I also design al my athmo miners with enough reverse thrust to hover face down while empty.

@TheGarageGamer86 Жыл бұрын

Darn, I wish I had of seen this post earlier lol. But you did give me an idea to take my Ion Miner as well in-case I miss the ore deposit when im drilling down to it haha. Sounds like a cool miner you built though!! 😎👌

@jejeserveur1124 Жыл бұрын

Hello, as I said in the previous episode, it is possible to put the solar panels glued back-to-back without space between the two otherwise it does not work. So a final block of 2x2x4 with the two panels in the center of the 2x2 face glued together
