Auto mining ship v2.0

Description
version 2.0 of my automatic mining ship

drills arm weight: +50tons
large ship weight: +1000tons

includes 4 refineries, 4 assemblers, 2 large reactors, 2 large cargo containers
conveyor system
ore detector
gravity drive integrated to make mining easier
the drills are very stable in this ship
Spotlights

Changes from v1.0:
bigger and heavier to make mining stable
drills arm reinforced (the other was kind of fragile)
branched conveyor system with cargo and reactors integrated
big thrusters

How to use:
1) get on the small cockpit and start the reactor
2) get on the large cockpit and start mining
3) optional. Start the gravity drive! (1g moves forward, -1g moves backward)
the only thing is that the gravity drive is designed just to move softly for mining (0.2m/s) so dont spect to use it for travel.

you might notice that the ore travels from the front and branches into 4 refineries, the thing is that for all 4 of them to work there must be a lot of ore going in really fast, otherwise, only 2 or 3 and sometimes even only 1 will receive the ore. That happens because when there is few ore (little pieces traveling directly from the drill) there is no enough to feed all 4 refineries and it chooses one.
Now, the large reactors are connected to the system, therefore any uranium you refine will go directly there
(nice one devs!)

Assemblers feed automaticly from what they need from the large cargo containers even if you see them empty

notes:
- Connector blocks still work without power, lol
- Map includes v2.0 ship , v1.0 ship and a experiment on branching conveyors, yours to play with

hope you like it ^^
