one of the absolute best advise for SE: just build and have fun. great vid m8!

Honestly, 90% of what I know in the game can be attributed to just building it to see if it works. If it doesn't finding out why.

Another tip people don't think about with the rotor system on drill rigs is once ur cargo is full turning off the rig is smarter than letting the drills fill at uneven rates and throwing the balance off when people are playing with x10 inventory space.

7:43 take two sets of your spiral pistons and vertically mirror image them. the top and bottom will both have centered output.

You know what... you are right! I didn't even think of that. Thanks

Still a beast to make so many subgrids by hand and Klang loves to mess with these constructs.@@KiltedBastard

That is true, Klang is a flicked beast, and I feel that most late game play is just Klang management. For Klang cannot be tamed.

I'm just starting with SE, and these pistons seem kind of limited. They drill until the piston is fully extended, and then you have to build a new one, or partly demolish and extend it. I found I had more ore with less effort by just building a drill, attach a battery and storage, turn it on, and just let gravity sink it down till it is full or the battery dies, and come back later to pick ore up by hand, or fish out the storage containers with a landing gear or magplate-on-a-stick below a ship and drop off at base.

That is a perfectly valid way to go about it. I would suggest adding an event controller that shuts the drills off when the cargo container gets full. Also, there is a way to have the drill build itself it would require a slightly more complex system.

I mean at that point just do what I'm doing. Build a Mobile Drilling Platform. Utilizes landing gear to detach itself so you can pick it up and move it when it gets too deep for the arm. That being said, prior to moving you do have to unload it's storage unless you've got a POWERFUL hauler ship because the one I built has 3 Large Grid Large Cargo Containers, so once it's done drilling and loaded up it's HEFTY. But it saves me time because instead of mining iron I just go to the Mobile Drill Rig and grab a bunch of the iron it already has from refining Stone.
