Automatic Mining Rig

Uses 4 nested pistons to drill down into the ground with drills attached to an advanced rotor.

Simply press the buttons on the panel in order from left to right to start it up!

No mods required.

Hey, wonderful and elegant machine! I was just wondering how yo managed to get the pistons to go so slow? Spent hours today trying to work it out!?

Re: the piston and rotor speed, these are settings i've had success with:
Plunge arm pistons: 0.005 speed
Drilling rotor: 1.5 - 2.0 rpm

You have to set these manually using ctrl+click on the velocity sliders in the control menu. Using buttons to +/- the velocity values will overshoot it enough to destroy the rig as it suddenly rams into the ground at 5 m/s.
