Description
A functional refinery that drains ice from connected vehicles automatically.

CPU: 9355
Blocks: 1491
airtight/space ready
solar powered, small reactor (off by default)
mods: none
scripts: Automatic LCDs 2 by MMaster

DESCRIPTION

This refinery will drain all ice from every vehicle connected to it. The ice will the be refined into hydrogen/oxygen, which will be stored in large groups of tanks.

only two resources can be exchanged:
- ice (input only)
- h2/o2 (output only)

The refinery is solar powered and airtight. It can be used on any planet/moon/asteroid. It has a large hangar where you can keep a fuel truck/ship.

HOW TO USE

example:
- bring ice with a truck or ship
- connect to either the platform connectors, the hall connectors or the tower connector.
- all ice will be drained automatically
- if you want to refuel your ship/truck, just set your vehicle's hydrogen tank to stockpile. It will drain as much h2/o2 from the refinery as possible.

HINT:
place the refinery as deep into the ground as possible or else some of your ground vehicles may damage themselves because of the steep ramp (see pictures above)

please like/comment and tell me about bugs and issues. :-)

This industrial plant is included in my Monorail Testworld 2.0. You can test it there on a predesigned railroad track.

Only downside is that you need to rebuild the drill manually even in creative (is pretty easy, just lay the conveyors and pistons and assign to the already created groups) cause if you just spawn it, keen get upset and the pistons bug a lot lol. But if you lay down the pistons and conveyors yourself it work as intended

I changed it a bit with complex shenanigans lol. Basically put a 200m side extensible drill on the side that can go 25m in depth leveling the area, for ice extraction purposes (normally the ice lake depth go up to around 26m). Is fully automated and I needed to change the design so little to make it work that overall is the same building but with an extra function. I'm also using a "big wind turbine" sorta mod to supply the energy (figured that the vanila is pretty small and not good at all), so I also removed the solar panel and the reactor. I could post and give you credits or simply don't, what you think about it?

The LCD script is basically just a quality of life feature so this should work as usual since it's just a "regular" base without any complex shenanigans.

Never heard of that bug before. Maybe it's because of the latest patch?

"unsafe grid" apparently,only works in Experimental mode why is that? it is really very irritating as a cant even make the game experimental mode anyway
