Space Engineers - Asteroid Drill

Hey guys ! Second ship from me ! :)
This one is a large asteroid drill made of two parts : the head that contains the drills and the body that contains everything else, including lots of containers.
What makes this drill special is that the drills are separated from the storage containers by a rotor but they can still be connected to them using connectors.
The head of the drill contains two large containers used as a ore buffer. Once they are all full, the pilot has to pause the drill head, wait for it to align with the body thanks to the magnetism of the connectors, lock these connectors, empty the ore buffer into the main storage, unlock and start drilling again.
The ship is totally usable in survival mode since every necessary parts are connected to one another and the amount of drills and blocks is reasonable and realistic.
it's maybe not the design that will give you the more ore / minute but at least it make slick holes !
Hope you like it ! Comments are appreciated ! :D

Ba Sing Se will fall.

That connector design is pretty damn clever.
-
I'll have to keep this design in mind when I build my deployable planet core driller That is a very smart drill head...
-
An extremely realistic and highly inventive design. High amounts of creativity and ingenuity are required for such amazing creations so kudos to the creator.
-
Found it in wrokshop!!! "Asteroid Drill - Steinbrecher [no mods]" That's what your looking for.
-
I've been playing this game as long as you have and this is pure nostalgia
-
that ship has sharp teeth, good work. i have just got the game and with only 7 hours in game i can only dream of building something like that.
-
I've always loved tunnel bores! This is a work of art!
-
6 people who disliked don't like "slick holes". Awesome build man, well done
-
what you have here good sir is a bona fide TBM tunnel boring machine. well done. large scale mining operations will never be the same.
-
That is fucking glorious.
-
friggin awesome, like the big tunnel borers
-
currently making a scaled down version in my survival with a friend. this is so cool.
-
this ship only works for destroying asteroids using the right click function if you want this for mining ore you're out of luck I made a exact copy of this ship and it does not work in survival for ore mining still a cool concept though
-
wow, amazing idea about using connector like that
-
Idk about anyone else but this was wayyyy too satisfying lol
-
Of all the mining ships i have seen this is the most realistic looking. Great work mate.
-
It looks like a 12v car socket. Really cool!
-
impressive design and very well thought out idea !
-
Holy ship! That is awesome
