With a drill like that, you want to go SLOW. .5 rotation speed, 0.001 piston extension speed.

I would recommend the Build Vision mod. You are able to control each item from a simple window, as well as being able to re-name that item while you are looking at it. It is a game changer.

I actually have it already! But I don’t think I truly use it for all it’s worth 😅 I just got the mod

needed to wait for the drills to complete a full rotation before the piston to go down

Circle drills can handle depth of up to 3m safely per rotation and speed of .60 rotation speed. Set a max extension of 3m then wait for a full rotation and extend another 3m.

When drilling.. start with .001 and then add increments of the same .002-.025 gotta slow things right down. .1 is to fast

you've done pretty well as beginner on Space Engineers game, as other mentioned ticking 'share inertia tensor' it makes the base structure pistons, rotors and hinges solid and wouldn't flex as much so they won't go flopping about when got unstuck cos you don't want to be anywhere near that as that can really knock you out 😵 When you plan to build the mining drill platform again, to get the piston extending really slow hover the mouse on the velocity bar, right click which brings up the speed numbers up and set the exact speed you want it to go. Moving the bar left and right only change 1m/s at the time which is too fast for mining feed rate, the suitable feed rate would be about 0.05m/s and the rotor say about 1rpm (your choice and experiment how you pleased 😁), you don't want to spin too fast as the drill mine the surface every 1 sec. Very fortunate you got the turret towers built up and ready! nice going Monkey 🙌

Thanks for the tips! I’m really excited to try the drill again after all of the awesome advice I’ve gotten, and it was perfect timing! The reavers came knocking the second I finished everything, hopefully the defense is enough to defend against the actual military also 😳

ctrl click to specify lower incriments of speed, i find that 0.01 is pretty good for drills i think, itll display as 0 but its not

I love drilling from base, my design would be solid conveyor for lateral, then as many down pistons you can fit, then rotor/hinge, then one last piston with a single drill, it’s super stable and mines out a giant hole

re-make the drill add block groups and links buttons to them it should work

Drill ship name...Albatross...LOL I commented on your first video about the drill system. I saw someone posted same answer in more detail on THIS episode, so I won't go over that again. One other thing I would suggest, not only for attacks but for the weather (lightning). I would set at least 4 decoys in a perimeter of your base. Reavers are fine, turrets can shred them but the Lightning! I can destroy a lot real quick. I'm surprised you haven't had to rebuild solar or anything else yet. Enjoying the series so far though.

Biggest bottleneck on drilling is the amount of stone. I like an event detector on the drill attached to the rotator. Turn off drills/actuators on 25% full, reactivate 0%. I also put a sensor on the drill head so it extends the piston down one tick per rotation. Detect on the arm holding out the rotor.

It's easier to move pison slowly down and control the max distance rather then fiddling with speed unless you are trying to extend it down fast, Also share inertia stabalizes pistons and rotors a lot, and go slow going down rotation doesn't really matter

@ResearchMonkey437

Ай бұрын

Yeah I was thinking that, I’m going to give the drill idea another shot I promise

I use a mod called production quota.. Lets you go to your assembler make a pre list with production. Like ammo and components.

Would the drill system be more stable if the rotator was more central to the actual drills?

@joshuarottenbacher2847

Ай бұрын

That would be recommendation. It will drill out evenly. I made mine rotate really fast 30 RPM and then piston done at like .1

I like combat in thia game so sastifying!good job for defence tower. Just careful with rocket drone those are much pain.

This is a fun playthrough, but you might want to spend some time looking into how other folks design their low-end ships.

Keep up the dedication man 👍

Yay a new episode! Ok other than power supply could you build a subterranean bunker facility to build weapons and technology to fight back? (Like the Germans and Japanese had to in the months leading to their defeat. Don't worry your situation is different so you're not heading towards defeat) You can use your drilled out mines to start out your bunker. Could use rock surplus to cover the bunker? Sorry have too many ideas sometimes, often game mechanics just won't let me create my ideas

Best way I have found to do drills is to make then + shaped. If you do a line of drills with the piston at one end, then the drills will have to make a complete revolution to carve out a circle. If you put the piston in the middle of the line, then It only needs to make half a revolution to carve a circle. This allows you to carve the ground out at twice the speed, given the circle will have a radius half the size for the same number of drills. A + shape will mean that only a quarter of a turn will be needed for a 4 times speed boost. Also, as the drill line gets farther from the center of rotation, it may not be possible to prevent snagging with the setup you have and a + shaped may be needed. This is due to that large circumference of higher radius circles. The drills at the ends have a lot of ground to cover compared to the ones at the center. Having 2 or even 4 drills doing it helps a lot. Since the materials that the drill are made of can easily be extracted from stone, and the resources recycled with no loss, I opt for the + shape, slowly growing it as I go. Also consider that the shorter the distance is from rotation, the faster you will be able to drill down, as there is less circumference to your circle that you have to carve through. Usually I will put a conveyor right under the piston and do a + of 4 drills right off that. When I refine enough stone for 4 more, I will raise it up, add the 4, and then start drilling from the surface again until I have the desired circumference. Also, I usually use small ship drills with a conveyor between them. Use your rotor to connect large grid to small grid. And do not forget to share inertia tensors. It will save you a lot of wobbling and clang.

Set your max distance on the piston in 2 meter increments and wait for 2 revolutions then go down 2 more meters and so on

Slow that piston down. press CTL and click on the speed to bring up a text box and enter 0.01. A rotation of 0.5-1rpm should be fine.

Hey, I found this cideo through recommendations. For the dril, you might want to enable "Share Intertia Tensors" on rotors, hinges and pistons, that reduces the wobblyness of subgrids massively. And about the video, please see it as constructive criticism: sadly I won't follow them because I got a bit of motion sickness from watching it. You have the tendency of circling something with the mouse to point at it which moves the whole screen quickly. it would be better to just point at it. Also by describing it as e.g. "the front part", "Left side", "right side" instead of "this part" might give a more interesting commentary. I know, good commentary while explaining is hard. Good luck with your channel.

to bad, the drill design was not bad, if you do it again, 1st thing name all your pistons rotors hinges drills etc. then dont go so fast, drill's at 0.001 but pistons at 0.0001 as they will all go down at once, then set up a control pad at your base looking at the drill so you can see what it's doing and control each function of the drill with 1 press of the button

Instead of changing the piston speed change the piston max distance and leave the speed at 0.5 fyi

Honestly, you would have had better luck with the drill if you placed one in the center, and then 2-3 coming off of each side in all 4 directions, that way they can dig through everything they need too while turning.

Dude, basic math , if drills broke down - YOU SHOULD SLOW DOWN ! Goddammit, standard milling process , if instrument not efficient enough add speed , but reduce feeds . By adding speed of rotation on hinge you adding amount of material that goes to drills ! Add common sense!? Add drills or slow down !
