I once made a similar concept, but it didn't fold up and was much more... industrial rather than elegant in design. Outer legs would attach, then my drills would rotate around and pistons would slowly extend it pretty deep. It was for planetary mining that also used a gravel mod that processed into small amounts of other ores to not waste so much stone. It was wide enough and bored deep enough that I used one of the holes as an underground base and built massive doors to cover the entrance. Good times.

Bit of idea for the creator: Have the gyro's go at different speeds depending on how big the asteroid is. Say on a smaller asteroid, you won't need to consider the grinding speed of the outter drills so you can be more effecient with the more central drills for smaller asteroids.

You could compensate for the lack of speed by having multiple smaller drill disks that basically spin with alternating arms like gears, they'd be able to spin faster while still missing nothing and you'd be covering a lot more surface area at once.

Probably the most interesting thing about space engineers is just seeing what you can actually manage to build and have function as intended with the mechanics that are available in the game. There isn't really much "game" to space engineers once you're done getting a proper base or large ship set up with all the requisite things you need to survive and continue processing materials.

[@Danspy501st]

It is funny to see this side of a mining design. I never thought that I could make it like that. The reason is Im making a carrier/mouthership like ship, that will have alot of small mining ships either docked or clamped onto the outside or inside of it. Either RCed or player controlled (For the smaller ones) When it gets to a place to mine, then it can just be above the mining arear and use gravity generators to "suck" the debris from the small mining ships, which will go to be refined into different materials to be used into making items. Think like a semi big ship that can refine and build items on the go for use to make other ships, stations, or as trading. I just need to work on the "hiding docking" arms so it wont get destroyed doing the flight. Something that happned on an other big transport ship that I made, which could function as a fleet tanker too to refuel other ships. A cool idea, but the "mother" ship for mining that Im making is still "working in progress" which wont be able to fly in planets, something that the other transport ship failed in. If you want to see the bigger transport ship that I talked about, then hit me up and we can talk about it. I do like the design on that, and maybe you can help me with the "hiding docking" arms idea that I had
