Mining Drone and Rotating Mining Array setups?

[StormWing0]

I've see rotating mining arrays and was wondering how you got the resources automatically from the separate entity over to the main one with the salvagers. Also getting mining drones up and running as well, I know they use logic clocks to fire the salvagers so that part is already covered but how do you set them up, same way as the rotators or is there something different with them?

You don't get the resources to the main entity, what you do is you dump them into a storage with whatever has the salvager(s).

Oh ok nvm must not have been paying attention. Looks like mining drones by use of selected target might be bugged right now though, can't get them to go after the target that has been selected but mining turrets work fine on that note.

It's impossible to make mining drones right now, unless you want to position them manually, but then it's not really a drone :P

walkers/crawlers come close :D

Once the rotator is docked to the primary ship, simply place blocks from the center of the rotator, until the blocks go through your cockpit.. Place storage block, delete the "scaffold" blocks...

Inside your cockpit, you'll now have a "floating" / "spinning" storage block, which is technically part of your 2nd ship (the rotating one). If your rotator comes undocked, the whole part will be stuck to your main ship, by the dangling storage block trapped in your cockpit..
