A simple fix is to remove the rear two hydrogen thrusters and marker light, stick on another O2/H2 generator (aligning the two small conveyor ports), then stick a connector to the large conveyor port that’s now facing backward. Doing so will eliminate two forward thrusters and, without testing, I don’t know if that’ll negatively affect the ship’s function. Another option is to remove the thrusters and light as before, but also remove the O2/H2 generator and replace it with a medium cargo container (with its two small conveyor ports oriented to the sides) and stick the connector to the rearward-facing large conveyor port. Then I’d add a couple small curved conveyors to the two side ports on the medium cargo container and install back the two forward thrusters. I’d only do this, however, if the first option doesn’t work. That’s my thinking about how to solve this particular problem. It’ll be a few hours before I’m able to get back into SE and test the design.

Aside from the charging problem, which we've been just putting ice in the cockpit. This thing is amazing

Well, dang! You've got me there!! That's a great question. I should have included a connector, both for ice and/or recharging the hydrogen tank, and for charging/recharging the batteries. [Slaps head!] I've built this thing several times in survival mode and just dumped ice in through the cockpit, but it's a bit tedious. The batteries, as built in survival, always had enough starting charge to get me through the tunnel boring process. I'll revise the design again, adding a connector to solve the problem of long-term use.

How does it charge the battery?

i cant build it but i will try soon. your bp's really awesome

I'm glad it worked for you. It's saved me a lot of time during many survival games. Remember that you can always add (or remove) drills as needed to get the tunnel size you desire.

Works as designed, good job, saved me alot of time!!!!!

It will not create the guide blocks. You must do that first.
