Would have been nice to see it function and actually drill something in the video.

Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to keep the video short(ish) and focus on the setup. I'll add demos if I do similar videos.

@@PriorUniform721a good video format is to tease out the functionality, especially if you have one already built out first thing. Show it running, show the moving parts and controls while it's operating. Then you could do what you did here and build another one next to it and show us how to build it and get it going. I see that a lot and it's a great way for me to know if this tutorial is teaching what I'm looking for.

You should probably start the video showing you using it.

Don't make a creator do things to your preference, personally I prefer and overview and explanation before a demo, the world does not need to bend to your whims, you have the ability to move to any place in the video.

I like the design. Very effective, requiring minimal resources, and with minimal/near-zero risk of clang-related issues. I've grown fond of using the rotor attach/detach features coupled with pistons for such things over the last couple years, and the newer "Automatons" DLC blocks make automating things a breeze. 👍

@joshbonney9624 25 күн бұрын

6:50 OR, replace the junction at the top of the piston with another advanced rotor, and set the head offset to something like -.2m. I like to then lock it, hide it, and turn it off.

This was an amazing video, thank you for sharing this build and taking the time to explain it, hope to see more from you

Thanks. I personally find that figuring out the "how to" is part of the fun of SE so I wanted to show off the idea but not make a step by step tutorial.

If you have a projector on the projected path, which projects it'self then whenever the rig gets to the end it'll build a projector to present another segment. If you tell it not to keep projection then it'll shut off each one as it completes the path.

@PriorUniform721 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for the tip. I haven't messed much w/ projectors projecting projectors. Sounds promising.

I like this. I steal it xD But I don't use the hinge at the front. I use the rotor at the back and put the welder to the sides. That way I can rotate the whole thing 90° and move it another direction.

@joehelland1635 7 ай бұрын

you can skip a block between the drills, it il lleave scarps on the ends of the drilling face, but you can get a much larger area with less heads.

@PriorUniform721 6 ай бұрын

Thanks, yeah you're totally right. I usually prefer to just go back to back to get nice clean faces and reduce the chances of leaving doom voxels behind. If I'm tight for resources though, I'll definitely consider skipping a block.

@hurmzz Ай бұрын

Great idea, I wonder how it will work with the rotors attached to the side, so you can go on an angle. Probably just another rotor connection so you always have at least 2 connected.

@PriorUniform721 Ай бұрын

I think it would probably work. You might have to use rotor limits to keep it from falling. I haven't had a need to try it on it's side but maybe one day. Also rotor limits scare me... :)

Fantastic drill setup. I am newish and always a bit annoyed at having to rebuild drills for a better reach. I was using this to tunnel out a startup base and got to a point where I wanted to turn a corner, them BOOM! Not entirely sure what blew up but I suspect it has something to do with me fiddling with the rotor offset. Time to rebuild.

@PriorUniform721 7 ай бұрын

Was it multi-player? I think there's a known problem attaching rotors on multiplayer. I forget whether it's better to have them rotor locked or not in that case.

@mediocreman2 9 ай бұрын

Nice. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

@shaunwatts6114 9 ай бұрын

So when i first built it, the stone was passing through the rotors into my base. But Clang decided that was not to be, and promptly destroyed everything on the first rotor movement. After that i can get everything else working including Clang free rotor moves, but cannot get the stone to pass into the base. Ive used advance rotor head, but it shows as not connected. Any Ideas? Oh and great design by the way. Which is why i'm trying to recreate it.

@jumpjack6436 9 ай бұрын

Same. Great idea, but destroys the drill when attempting to attach front rotor.

@shaunwatts6114 9 ай бұрын

Solved my issue. User error as it turns out. I must have replaced one of the rotors with a regular rotor and not an advanced. I didn’t think it mattered, as long as the head was correct, but apparently it does. They must be different somehow.

The flaw is that it is not endless. It's bounded by projection length

@PriorUniform721 Ай бұрын

As it is now I, you're right. But I think you can do a projector in projector thing to make it infinite but I usually find that I don't actually need infinitely long holes... :)
