Automated Drillship - for survival projector

Description
Hello!
Here it is a compact drill ship designed for survival servers via projector.

The ship features:

445 blocks

-80 drills
-36 collectors
-1 spherical gravity generator
-5 artificial mass

-4 small reactors

-4 gyros
-3 large containers
-25 small cargo containers

-Full heavy armor coating.

-No mods required

----

By activating just the GO! group the ship goes forward, disabling the backwards thrusters, collecting the floating materials and ofc drilling forward.

Hyperguide group to activate all the artificial mass to navigate in long distances.

On the sides there are vertical windows in front of the reactors for a better manteinance.

looks pretty cool. reminds me of what i did in my own mining ship. just that my drills were arranged in a pyramidal shape instead of just flat so i didn't need collectors (spherical grav gen behind the first drill, all ore got sucked into the drills). also, it was a lot longer because it contained 4 refineries (just wanted them to get some in-flight fuel supply in case i ran low on uranium, but normally i used them to take some pressure off my station-refineries. station was really struggling with all the ore i brought in after going on a quick little mining-trip lol) and everything was accessed from inside while the outside was entirely heavy armor (except the drills, thrusters and connector of course)

This one aint working (anymore) (atleast not on the moon) I did build it but it is to heavy to get into the sky. (The power is good its not overloaded)

Also in the back where the control seat is...Up above there where those conveyor tubes are... I moved the chair back a few spaces and took out the tubes and added conveyors and managed to squeeze 4 reactors in back there. I also added 2 more connectors to the back for faster unloading. Great ship though, I'm going to build anotther one :)

Thanks for the feedback!
To reduce the energy consumation im going so reduce slightly the gravity field, im going to update it with also few improvements

Also needs about 3 more reactors...

Just built this piece by piece in survival mode without using any sort of welder ship. I made a few changes by adding a few more rows of drills and 2 sensors. I added one sensor at the front to detect asteroids and turn on the "Go" group. Another Sensor at the back to turn off "Go" when you break through the asteroid, that way the ship just doesnt keep going forever and I can start it and walk away from my pc. Overall a great miner though. I liked your method of collecting all the loose rocks.
