Ol' Wormy

Description
My own personal drone I've been tweaking for uh... A very long time. Despite that it isn't really complicated and is a very basic worm drone.
Because of its rather slow speed, escape is not an option, and so this drone relies on OVERWHELMING firepower, firing a nearly solid mass of longer-lasting, extra painful bullets which nothing can survive for more than ~2 seconds, which also happens to be quite good at melting through planets.
However, it is quite energy intensive, and the LED is indicative of how much energy you have left, magenta/blue being out of energy, and green/yellow when full (it gets more red when you click)
It also has a laser incase it gets decapitated or needs more efficient digging power for some reason, and it can collect resources.
Be warned, it is mostly helpless against elemental damage, and if it is severed you're very quickly in for a bad time.

Controls; W (forward), A (turns head left), D (turns head right), S (backward, also makes tail go backwards), left click (fire blasters, hold for more), right click (shields, only protects head), R (fire laser), Q (turn collector tail left. don't go too far), E (turn collector tail right, don't go too far), C (collect resources)

It can get to a top speed of 59 m/s going straight up with normal gravity and air resistance, however combined with the blasters it can get up to 71. (Note: upward max speed is lower than normal, but it is easiest to be certain of).
Each blaster has around 1600 DPS, in total Ol' Wormy has an ungodly 20800 DPS, anything destructible will certainly perish under its might.
If I calculated it right, each blaster should also give the loose equivelant of 50 digging power per second (doesn't quite sound right, unsure), for a total of 650.
It has 119 parts.

Whenever you load up a new sandbox game, there is always a blaster with kinetic ammunition and no upgrades in the Weapons tab. That blaster is called Kinetic Blaster. If you use that blaster and set it to have +100% damage, and I use that blaster and set it to -80% energy cost, and I download your drone using the Kinetic Blaster with +100% damage, it will instead use my version of the Kinetic Blaster, which has -80% instead.
If this happens it can cause problems, especially if you set Kinetic Blaster to have -80% and -20% energy cost to make energy-less drones, but I don't, then your energy-less drone design will not work if I download it.

There is a bit of a problem with O'l Wormy that I've seen quite a few times. The drone uses Kinetic Blasters. If you have the original Kinetic Blaster that is always there in sandbox mode, and you modify it, any drones you download use the local Kinetic Blaster instead of the probably different Kinetic Blaster on the creator's computer, which can really mess things up.
It didn't apply here, since the local Kinetic Blaster I have is ridiculous, but it is important to make sure your drones universally work.

happy to help, but i actually have made a drone design for that very purpose i think you'll find more practical (and also much simpler), in fact i've more or less been only using variations of it for 230 hours of playing the game, as i haven't found anything better

New player here, browsing drones before I play, this seems like the best starting point. Thanks for making it :)
