Shadow's New Ride – RVs at War #2



We’re on a caravan holiday from hell, dropped onto lezuno in a caravan with no plan, no suits and even less sense of direction. Can we make any sort of impact on the Ares system of planets?

  2. FYI on the amplified drill, it's large grid only, and 3x3x4 in size. Very big. But also very VERY powerful.

    Edit: oh, also, yes, the ore deposits are few and far between, many kilometers of travel for the rare ones. However, as you found with the Magnesium deposit, they're MASSIVE deposits. All of them sit in a layer that runs from ~2 blocks to ~10 blocks below the surface (except a couple of the exotic strategic ores). They're very clearly designed with the idea of setting up permanent mining outputs, with the facilities (and/or vehicles) to mine out chunks of the deposit as you need them, and possibly also the facilities on-hand to process it as well. I made an automated crawler miner at one location for that purpose, though aerial drones would probably be easier. You're also probably going to want to do automated drone logistics to cart them back to a central facility.

  3. Sigh! Why do people build rotating drill rigs and then make the drill arms symmetrical? And still complain about building efficiency. One side is going to drill the same voxels 180 degrees further ahead. If it wasn't already drilled away by the other side.

    And a symmetrical drill arm only gets 1/4th of the voxels out compared to the same number of drills on one side (surface area of circle is proportional to square of radius)

  4. ever play a game for like 500 hours and then see someone do something in a video and think, how in the… anyone know what the key for align to local grid, i.e. how to place the the block underneath the one they are looking at?

  5. 1. make a small grinder pit for the boxes
    2. would it work if you place two pistons and then a wind turbine or solar panels? to simply extend them instead of making scaffolding around a pillar
