Automated Mining System in Space Engineers

#shorts #spaceengineers #mining #games #gameplay
This video shows an automatic mining system in space engineers. It uses a script to lower the drill by 1 meter each rotation it does. This system requires no work or maintenance. You no longer have to stand and manually lower the piston the script does it for you.

Now your next challenge is to use sensors on the outer drills that detect the voxels so that the drill goes down whenever the voxel level is low enough.

I lost a drill drone by forgetting it was running. Found it at the bottom of a supper deep hole.

Voxel-based automatic station whistleblower.
Never do this on dedicated servers.
If you want to automate, I recommend a good miner being controlled by the PAM script.

I've made something similar to this, I called it a planet core drill, basically just kept adding new pistons to it everytime it reached full length and couldn't go down anymore, then resend it down. After about 20 pistons it becomes unstable and requires little bumpers along key areas to hold it in place as Clang becomes unhappy, but I force the Clang to work and continue it. I made one that drilled about 2kms into a planet before. Clang was very unhappy the entire time and I was forced to scrap it after an AI ship blew out the stations electric, and mangled the entire main shaft.

Space Engineers is such a good fucking game bro.

ok playing this i will really improve my math skills

[Canoby]

IDK why but this is very soothing to watch

[kaptajnwaterstradt]

You could just do some math to figure out how long one rotation takes and make the piston extend one meter per rotation. Example could be that the rotor is going at 2 rpm so you divide by 60 to convert it to rps since the piston uses m/s and then divide by the amount of pistons you are gonna use

[alfredwayne]

that is a resourceful and complicated way for that task. 2 well placed drillls + rotor with a constant moving piston is sufficient. 3 drills is already overkill.

I bet you could make a sick looping video if you used the POV of a mounted camera

[coaxgaming]

If you put pistons before the drills you can get a 30m hole which is perfect as most ore in the game has a ore gen limit of 32ish blocks wide in one cardinal direction

Bobity bibity your design is now my properity

[samjohnson]

this is the best one I've seen so far

[Ace-Trix]

It all goes good till something breaks

[TheMARSHalMELLOW]

I prefer square holes, simple row of drills on an oscillating hinge. Also great for tunnel bases.

[mourisegames]

I made it like this as well, but I added folds at the elbows to make it more compact and potentially longer

[frakis]

Personally, I like creating a super long/wide arm, attach it to a rotor, then let it swing, cutting asteroids in half.

For those who don't know don't do this if the ping is at or above 50

[velarswood]

I just creative build a 20 by 20 drill wall and watch my pc cook.

The piston needs a rotor on the end to rotate the whole thing and start a new shaft
