@Dope thanks man, it's been awhile since I updated this ship but it should still work. It all depends on Keens autopilot functionality which breaks time to time.

@Glew interesting design! I'm looking forward to understanding how you've built it to work!
There are a lot of servers out there (mostly Keen's official servers) that disallow scripts and thus we're left with more complicated designs I'd say.

@Chaos thanks man! I do love that little drone, maybe I'll create a new version.

thx for information I will check who I can find a script for it. But i will use youre miner its perfect for my mining base,:steammocking:

@Chaos567 This miner is very old and probably doesn't work at all the way it's supposed to. There are much simpler solutions now! You can use an auto-mining script from the workshop and turn any ship into a mining drone. 100% vanilla.

Good video good miner only problem is it dont work like the video. When I activat collision aoidance on the miner fly all points but ignore the docking bay and dont miner. When i take the collision off it do nothing.

Im new in Space engineer so no idea how to fix this.

@Glew I will be looking for to it. :newyearscharm:In the meantime I should improvise.
Best of lucky,

@Nepu I haven't looked at this thing in so long, the game changes so often that it's very difficult to keep this thing updates. I'm waiting for the game to come closer to release before I try to make something like this again, but when I do it will be done with programmable blocks and be much more effective.

Their 2 sensors that aren't connected inside the drone not sure if it's suppose to do that

It's hard to say with Space Engineers physics being broken this week I am unable to work on it.
Muuhu 29 May, 2016 @ 12:41pm 
Glew, do you have an ETA on your project?
Muuhu 28 May, 2016 @ 11:13am 
Yeah, i kinda noticed. Not sure what the most effective way is anymore.
Glew  [author] 28 May, 2016 @ 11:10am 
It does work with all of the actions set but not nearly as effectively as it used to. Drilling through an asteroid is taking 5-10 times longer than it used to because the mechanics of drilling have changed so much.
Muuhu 28 May, 2016 @ 4:34am 
So even with the actions and all intact it dosent work?
Glew  [author] 27 May, 2016 @ 8:04pm 
Subsequent patches have broken this ship. I'm currently working on new one. Easier to use, more effective, ect. Will post here when it's completed!
Muuhu 27 May, 2016 @ 4:44am 
When i build it online, all the preprogrammed actions are gone.
Erebus 3 May, 2016 @ 10:38pm 
its all good its just not for me and i dont know if this game is but ill check it out again if i decide to play this game again
Glew  [author] 3 May, 2016 @ 2:55pm 
Well I just tested it and it worked fine. I'm sorry you're having troubles. It's hard to know what the issue is because there are so many things that could go wrong. I have several other subscribers who use it regularly without any trouble. I am working on a new version that is much easier to use but will not release for some time.
Erebus 2 May, 2016 @ 3:16pm 
i just did it the other day followed every instruction exactly it just wobbled for a bit then flew off into space.
Glew  [author] 22 Apr, 2016 @ 4:16pm 
Have you followed the instructions and setup your waypoints? This thing works just fine.
Erebus 22 Apr, 2016 @ 11:11am 
this thing dead? i followed it and it just docks and undocks lol
Lagy_Paladin 10 Dec, 2015 @ 5:00pm 
ok good, just as long as it eventually gets the ores moved to my refineries. i used to use a different auto mining ship but it got out dated. so just making sure this worked before i went to all the work to test it out. thanks for replying so fast
Glew  [author] 10 Dec, 2015 @ 2:26pm 
Andrew the drones work but there are some issues with the auto-pilot. Sometimes a ship will just 'wobble' instead of traveling but it should eventually work itself out. Just give them some time and they will all eventually get themselves on track.
Lagy_Paladin 10 Dec, 2015 @ 1:27pm 
does this ship still work?
Glew  [author] 4 Oct, 2015 @ 6:15am 
@BeNNeL Sorry about that! The drone had been uploaded as a world instead of a blueprint. This was causing some issues with updating the file to reflect important changes I had made. Now that I've got it published as a blueprint I can update it as needed and shouldn't have to remove it ever again. Thanks for the compliments!
BeNNeL 4 Oct, 2015 @ 5:41am 
Awesome drone, but please stop deleting the older versions from the steam workshop. It makes finding it harder because the reddit links were all dead. I believe it also pulls it from the blueprint list.

Instead, I recommend editting the descriptions of the older ones and link to the newest version.

Again, awesome drone though!
