About Automated Drill

From mod.io

Automated Drill

This is a modified version of the Automated Drill Platform.

Modifications:

- Increase gravel generation, however not as to overload it with gravel but enough to keep production going. With
default game settings. x3 Character inventory size, Realistic Blocks inventory size. If your game settings are
higher then you will stock up gravel regardless.

- Increased the amount of ingots you receive and the speed of which you receive them.
- Increased the amount of inventory the Automated Drill can hold.
- Can craft Gravel Eater to produce 1 ice to remove loads of gravel.
- Can select to do ore or ingots based on your own playstyle.

Addon Script Manager: https://mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/automaticdrill

The above script will auto manage the Drill Platform so you don't have to do anything but set and forget it. 


Reason:

This mod was modified because I didn't want a ton of gravel laying around and I wanted the generation to be faster for my own greedy needs. Tested with the latest DLCs and it's working as expected.

Enjoying?
Make sure to rate this and the script so others can enjoy as well.
