MD-1B AutoMiner Drone

Description
Automated Mining drone MD-1B

Functions:
Automated Mining
Reliable and with Safety switch function
Sound and visual signalization for work end or error at work.
Safeworking algorithm prevents drone from being destructed by asteroid impact or other's drone drill.
Trajectory correction system prevents drone impact or collision, changing both trajectory.
Shutdown timer.
No mods.

I do my best to automate drone, but in some conditions, operator's correction is needed.
For now, drone is unable to harm itself or another drone. It may harm the astronaut, so watch it!

How-to:
1. Get close to asteroid, 90 degrees angle, drills front
2. Press 8 and 9 in the panel. Drone will follow the program.
3. Press 7 for SHUTDOWN. Do not press 8 and 9 for shutdown
4. You can configure shutdown timer in drone menu. (SHUTDOWN, choose time and press begin countdown)

If you build drone in survival. you need to turn of 2 gyroscopes:
GyroscopeSeek and GyroscopeSeek2

If drone turns too much, you can press SHUTDOWN or disable GyroscopeSeek2 gyro and Sensor 5 (AsteroidSeek2)


Updates:
More drills
Reliability improved
Seek program improved

@Sarus

Gyro override is broken by devs.
Plus, the drone is very old, I can not guarantee its working at all ;)

I turned off the gyros before but did not press shutdown, that the reason it didn't work. Thanks for the help man and great ship by the way :dwayneelf:

I can't control it manually, built this from projection in survival mode.

A: No. I think about releasing it to workshop, but It's only about thinking for now.
