XU-1 works great - thank you!
Sometimes, however it experiences issues, and when that happens, I need to go get it, bring it back to my nearest base, and put it near my Nanite Control Factory, so that Nanite repair bots can auto-repair it.
For this purpose I've created a lifter vehicle. If anyone else is interested, you can get it on the Workshop, here:
XU-1 Lifter (NO DLC)

does this mod work anymore? ive tried so many diff things but nothing working at all...

@Jack Yes P.A.M script auto charge/refill H2 depending on ship type.

I have managed to get this drone functioning, I am curious to know if it will automatically recharge when near empty?

@Я полковник! its a blueprint. Use a projector or F10 if you´re in Creative.

@Noble Knight Use XU-3 thats the one with Hydrogen Thruster.

I wish there was a version to use in areas without atmo

Subscribed, but nothing is downloaded, nothing is installed. The mod list is empty. It is impossible to build.

You dont need to reset the sorters, just turn them off manually as well as in the pam menu.

Stuck on a odd issue, I dont know what i did, everything is built and it was running smoothly until my base had a power shortage from so much usage, i fixed the problem with a few reactors, but now the miner just keeps putting the batteries in recharge mode and wont let me control it to restart the whole process, what do i do?

Overall a nice rig, haven't tried it out with PAM yet as I had some trouble with the batteries and with the conveyor sorters. Would've been nice if you used tubes and then just 1 sorter so it's easier to swap out if you don't want sorting as the instructions to allow keeping the stone don't work properly as it then doesn't put it in the containers. It ends up in the connector at the bottom.

Please do note this comment if anyone is having trouble with the programmable block in Hotbar slots 1, 2, and 3. If they don't appear you will have to manually add them with the Arguments of "Up", "Down", and "Apply"

These are in the PAM guide on operations, My guess to why these don't show up in some cases is due to Space Engineers in general, but if my guess is wrong then I will revise this comment.

I really like your facility, would you be generous and share the blueprint? or at least a pipeline conveyor portion and unloading connector tower as a BP to link them together to make a pipeline :) happy to support the effort. let me know

Guy under me doesnt know how to disconnect his subgrid from his main grid haha. Great miner works perfect.

Is there a reason why it wont even show up in the list to control?? old version??

Can we get a new working version please?

Ignore my last comment. Bot works nicely. Apparently when bot comes home, it recharges to 100% and then continues the job.

Hi, nice job with this mining bot, but i have some problems. First one - when bot returns home, connection lights up yellow and does not charge my batteries. Second problem - bot does not disconnect from home dock and does not continue its job. Anyone faces similar or same problems?

Thank you for this script , but i got a problem , the ship keeps Docking / undocking it says ship to heavy

hi Mz i might know why if you dont have many batterys then it will not be able to charge it fast enough i have around 15 battery's and it takes about 5 min for 5 percent

Hello,

I've built this machine and it worked perfectly well (thank you btw) until it ran out of power in its batteries.
I can't seem to recharge them even if it's connected to a connector. No electricity will recharge the batteries.
Do you know why ? Is it because my base is made of large grid and the drone of small grid ?

does this work with ai enabled?

Says my drone is 64kg weight but says max limit is 54kg and wont take off form dock

i have the problem and was looking for a solution :s

works amazing - great design and features. with just one problem: i have to start the drones manually after theyve returned to base with full cargo. so they dont continue the mining job automatically. maybe ive missed something?

Same as blacky, the menu doesn't work. Toolbars start broken.

The menu doesn't work for me

Do these drones avoid other drones automatically or should I put them on different paths to avoid collisions?

@pro100tv You did a nice job on these drones. I'm using 8 of them on a movable platform and it's working fantastic. Thank you! Awesome work!

I can't seem to get the drone to want to dock with the home connector, and i have no idea how to fix it

List of components needed to build one XU-1 Automated Mining Drone:

power cell ----- 128
small tube ----- 109
large tube ----- 86
metal grid ----- 56
radio comp ----- 8
detect comp ----- 7
display ----- 6
bp glass ----- 3

Thank you! I already printed 3 more in my world, they have been a godsend for our base!

@Mundos_An/0611 Yes, check if the in-game scripts are enabled in your world settings

I have a problem with the programable block. The up, down and select bottons (1, 2 and 3) don't work. is there a way to fix this?

sorters need to be all { UN black listed } for ore stone etc etc etc etc

@Orion i can say this, when they run while im long distance like at the moon and they aree mining on earth they work somewhat iffy, usualy lose a few because its like the physics calculations are lower priority/dumber and they arent flying with fidelity unlike when im sitting beside them

Whats the range on this bad boy¿?

My hotbar is all messed up, does anyone know what it's supposed to be? Numbers 1 through 9 are all empty.

This works great. Do you think you could make a cargo ship in the same style to deliver resources to my base?

You can find it in the behavior setting menu

I can't figure out how to set up overlapping... can anyone assist?

very nice miner i use 8 at once to power my base and when they fall due to server concealment running out of power etc cause zone is unloaded they either take 0 damage or only lose a battery or a thruster

@hawley.kevin Thank you, I will update the description

for perfect squares with no lil rock stubs from hole to hole turn height and width overlapping to 15%......

thank you........... FYI if u want the stone turn all sort to whitelist stone....... was able to make the miner hold 95% and unload it all

Can you make a mod on Patrol ships?

I think I've got it figured out. Seems to be working for now. I have read a post today that had a similar issue with PAM. But my issue seems to be fixed.

Sorry I've taken so long to respond

Hopefully this thing only uses 1 sorter, because using more than 1 is not necessary and also makes updating whitelists really painful since you can't do it in bulk.

In such a case maybe you could blueprint the drone itself and upload it to the workshop? Perhaps I'll be able to find out where's the issue.

@pro100tv. It's on our dedicated server. I can get you the file though

@itsDIETZ could you upload the world file to workshop so I can do the troubleshooting?

I'm having issues with it docking and undocking during a job. It will start mining, fill up, then dock and undock constantly.
