“There are weaknesses (lists even more safety measures)”

[@jackindustriesanimates]

True streamlined engineering at its finest!

[@Pondimus_Maximus]

Genius level stuff! I mean that. I'll definitely give this a shot, next time I'm playing. 🖖😃 EDIT: I've downloaded your Infinite Drill, and attached a seat to one of the mining arms. I'm currently riding it like a merry-go-round, as it carves its way ever deeper into the planet Awesome stuff! Drill works as advertised. Would recommend to a friend!

[@nullpoint3346]

I appreciate that this looks like it was ripped directly out of an RTS game, that style doesn't see much use in block games.

[@steiner3327]

The little short clip of the drill exploding from rotors moving killed me lmfao

[@Perseus109]

Reminded me of the rotor explosions in Wrong Way Down. 😂

[@strategicstupidity6018]

this is sick! im new to SE but its awesome to see all of the optomized and streamlined designs out there :0

[@Rage_Spammer]

Probably the most efficient infinite drill build I've seen thus far. I keep forgetting that rotors can take the place of connectors and save a lot of PCU by doing so. Also, its just 1 piston and 1 welder, crazy. Could cut costs even more with a double rotor drill. To make it vanilla friendly, the autocrafting script could be replaced with basic assemblers controlled with event controllers that are tracking separate containers for each component.

[@SummontheNERDZ]

This is unreal dude

[@riddytmeed5694]

we're just playing factorio at this point XD Great work!

[@SticksNStoneGaming]

So. You could compact it down some by using a rotor to create a small grid and use the small grid timers/event controllers. You would just have to make a blue print for the “brain” separately.

[@Tylerownsface]

It would be great if the blueprint also included an interior light that got welded to the main shaft every few steps so you can see the tunnel going all the way down.

[@William0271]

If so, have them added to a group that can be toggled on/off by the script as they're built

[@Perseus109]

That is really impressive! Btw, I love Pam too. I don’t know why the automation blocks are so bad in comparison. Great work!

[@brett567]

Nice build man. Now add a version without drills upside down on top to make a space elevator at the same time.

[@mateo4830]

Good luck, dude

[@Alex-xl4xe]

Definitely the coolest design I have seen so far.

[@Insanevizir]

Very nice build, nice miner ship too ^^ only one minor tip, you move the mouse too much when "pointing" for things you are describing, and that can make some ppl motion sick.

[@paulmedwin]

Hi, great drill idea, have you also got that little drone BP too?

[@JoachimVampire]

you could make a "pvp addon" that can be optionally installed where there's a small broadcast system hidden that uses a battery, as it detects the other batteries missing, or maybe damage on the solar panels/turbine it shuts everything down and activates the broadcast to your base. this can be used as a "manual maintenance required" system for the non-pvp servers (or your survival worlds) so if you have an automatic mining operation it just sends a signal on your base to tell you that something went wrong, nothing fancy just get a broadcast block with some kind of prefix and if it detects it it works and if it doesn't detect it then deactivates the functionality. on the build i can not comprehend how people make things both functional and good looking and this build exceeds in both parts, looks increible and works even better. i may be a noob at building, because as i make any ship strong enough to fly it looks ugly, and if i make it look nice it's unable to fly for more than 3 seconds... if even it's capable of lift...

[@xSessyx]

That is a great Build.. No Build is 100% Safe .. Keep up the good work.

[@William0271]

You could allow the tower to rotate to get better solar alignment

[@michaelharper7433]

Great Build! I'm getting your blueprint now

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Splitsie could learn drilling from you!

[@roguemajin46290]

👏🤌need a larger hole version 🙏

[@chaoskiller1758]

make a space engineers playthrough your good at building and making complex things.

[@ARockRaider]

That's really good! for some strange reason I always want to extend the pipe on the borehead side, yours should be much more stable!

[@velafie7513]

Me, builds very simple piston drill. Im very happy with it. Hops onto youtube, see's this masterpiece... No longer satisfied with my level of engineering. Impressive build dude, its super cool

[@ARockRaider]

Don't worry to much about that, unless you are that one guy who builds the best stuff you will always find stuff better then what you do. (he probably also finds stuff he thinks is better then his stuff) just have fun building your stuff for yourself!

[@thejollyjarcaravan9679]

Impressive as hell my dude 👏

[@xingewen]

nice drill and gain a subscriber :)

[@fredpryde8555]

this is bloody awesome great drill love to use it in my private colony build well done

[@meyatetana2973]

There are more effecient ways to build a drill but I do love how it looks Great job :) Edit - Oh it's a infinite drill thought it was just a normal piston drill LOL this is far better then most infinity drills I've used :O PAM is great script I use it to autodock my giant ass dreadnought to one of my stations LOL prevents me from ramming breaking stuff and not noticing for months :P

[@He4vyD]

Getting epilepsy from your shaky camera work

[@Mike-li3co]

Brilliant!

[@uncleweirdbeard86]

I've been trying to make something similar to this with merge blocks, but the inch worm section keeps stationing itself. I think your build gives me an idea for my project to work properly. I just have to figure a few things out. No its not a drill

[@caiden6747]

Hell yea 😎

[@christoffer1973]

Great! But can you use this in vanilla ore do you need some mod

[@ARockRaider]

doesn't look like he used mods, just event controllers and scripts and both of those are stock things. if one is clever they may even be able to get around needing the script!

[@chrosc]

@@ARockRaider That's a good idea. Without the inventory script we could possibly put the assembler to repeat produce the required components for the blueprint, and replace that programmable block with an event controller to toggle the assembler on/off so we don't use up all the ingots.

[@CaptainSnackbar]

why not magnet plate instead of rotors?

[@travispluid3603]

To transfer cargo, of course.

[@ARockRaider]

cargo transfer and guaranteed positioning. (mag plates may drift if you aren't careful) he could probably use hinge parts if he wanted to as well as they function the same in this context.

[@Rage_Spammer]

​@@ARockRaider Hinges have a bigger collision box that you have to fit the part into. Rotors are much more forgiving in that aspect.

[@ARockRaider]

@Rage_Spammer ah, fair enough.

[@gerardpenman6615]

Ages ago I did one using connectors, but this doesn't make the two parts one grid, so you need to use merge blocks as well. It's gets way too complicated like that. This is way simpler method.

[@Eviltek2099]

Great build, terrible video hard to watch gave me Vertigo with all of the camera wiggling!
