Description
Easily harvest resources.
[Fixed to work with Racing Update]

Prepare:
1. find a planet with lots of resources
2. complete the objective with your favourite drone

Farm:
1. visit the planet with this drone
2. leave planet when resources aren't
collected anymore
3. profit, goto step 1

Keys:
A strafe left
D strafe right
1-6 activate different cameras

The drone automatically decends into the resource collector and activates itself.
It spawns long spring arms with spinning resource collectors attached to them.
Because everything is one big drone the collected ressources are directly transferred to the collector.

For yellow and blue resources planets with hammerhead missions are best, for red artifact missions are good.

All keys are unbound for some reason including the harvesters, factory, some strafing thrusters, and hinges. Because it extends beyond the new editor limit I can't rebind all the keys

@Skipydog I tested it and realized that it wasn't working anymore since the racing update, because the sensor did not trigger the factory to print. I fixed that. The strafing with A D worked for me (while descending down towards the collector). A and D are normally only bound to the 2 pairs of small strafing thrusters. The keys 1-6 often stop working when the drone is being destroyed by enemies. Aren't any keys working for you / bound? If that is the case, I am sorry and I am unsure why that is happening, maybe you could try to remove the drone and download it again?

um, it's not working so I put it in the editor and all of the key bindings are not there...

Thank you for this. Not just because it's great at mining in a hurry, but also because that auto-stabilizer you have gave me ideas for one of my ships.

Right, thanks for the information. i was originally getting the arms atteacked by hives, so thats a problem solved.

Can i get some advice on which planets this works well on?

I understand now... it's not that it digs... its that it glitches through the terrain to grab resources wherever they may hide... truly genius, good sir.
Perdita 7 Dec, 2018 @ 3:00pm 
Just a quick Q: Does it work on lava planets with low digging?
Perdita 7 Dec, 2018 @ 3:00pm 
Sir. Wow. I must have, it's tedious but a bit fun to harvest resources with my little "Nematoad" (not posted) but this will free me to mess around and get everything
