(Updated 2020-04-24 to fix scrips and LCD settings)

The M4 is currently the heaviest mining drone in the M-series drones. Equipped with 6 drills and a large cargo container backed by 4 medium containers. It is more capable than the M3 but is also larger, bulkier and more costly to produce with more thrusters and batteries to keep it in the air. like the M3 it comes with its own Projector for easier repairs.

Note: LCD's require scripts to be enabled in the world setting or they will not work.
