Automatic Drilling Platform (Enhanced)

This mod appears to be incompatible with the latest Space Engineers version. I will not be able to provide an update in the foreseeable future. Any help will be appreciated.

Forked from http://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=758796524.


This mod includes a fully-automatic drilling platform that generates 2k stone every 1.5 seconds (can be tweaked with productivity modules), while placed on voxels (planet, asteroid, etc.)

The drilling platform, while correctly placed, consumes 950kw power to work. Its construction requires superconductor, which when comes together with the power requirement makes it a mid-to-late game equipment. Also, the platform will not start working if another one is within 200m range.

The drilling platform helps you to acquire mineral resources without breaking the terrain and increasing world save size. It includes a series of recipes to convert gravel into metal ingots. The recipes are as following:

150 * Gravel = 1 * Iron Ingot in 0.1 second(s)
350 * Gravel = 1 * Cobalt Ingot in 0.2 second(s)
350 * Gravel = 1 * Nickel Ingot in 0.2 second(s)
620 * Gravel = 1 * Silicon Ingot in 0.2 second(s)
2700 * Gravel = 1 * Magnesium Ingot in 0.45 second(s)

20000 * Gravel = 1 * Uranium Ingot in 1.75 second(s)
28000 * Gravel = 1 * Silver Ingot in 3 second(s)
52000 * Gravel = 1 * Gold Ingot in 12 second(s)
75000 * Gravel = 1 * Platinum Ingot in 20 second(s)

Changed the code so that the driller platform will directly put stone into output inventory, enabling them to be directly picked up by refineries etc

Best used with: Stone Sifter Mod (Get more ores out of your stone!)
