Description
Vanilla | Survival | No Subgrids | Scripts optional | DLC


The M-85 Atmospheric Miner is a simple and small planetary miner capable of digging its own tunnels.

It is a very conservative design with 2 drills, 1 medium cargo container, 1 connector on the bottom and only atmospheric thrust. It is powered solely by batteries, which can be recharged while dumping off the ores.

It is set up with the Path Auto Miner script, which is incredibly convenient and easy to use, but totally optional. This ship works perfectly fine with scripts turned off.

If you build this in a survival world, I painted all blocks that you should grind down after building bright red for convenience.

As soon as I power this vessel and turn on Dampeners it rolls over onto its back. I'm about to start grinding to see if the Remote Control is upside down.

i currently have a error in the pam script for some reason it give me a fatal eror when its docked and due to that it will stop working in total until i undock it and then the system scaning takes over and does the job again, is this known problem or is there a fix

I don't understand the negativity. I needed an Atmo Miner that I could dock on a Medium Hydrogen Freighter and detach on planets with atmospehere and mine. This ship is wonderful. Does it have 4 large grid storage tanks .. no. But it is well balanced and hauls 300K of ore per load. It obviously needs to be somewhat level at full load (it has more UP thrusters than Backward thrusters), but it can easily turn around and get out of tunnels .. or back out if you maintain it somewhat level. Thanks for the wonderful ship.

Could we get a Hydrogen capable miner? Currently Cepheus has asteroid and atmospheric miners, but none that work too well for gravity and no atmosphere

I stopped using it as it tends to get stuck in PAM mining, it's profile is slightly too big for the tunnel digged

I was hoping to get your permission to use your ship designs in a Web Series I am creating in Space Engineers. We love your ship designs! We would want to give you full credit for your designs in it too :)

I am a part of the youtube channel Geeks Actively Making Entertainment. If this is something you are okay with please let me know.

Being perfectly horizontal during flight is no problem, but unfortunately it does not fly on any angle as it just drops like a stone. If you have ore with you it gets worse as you have to take it all out by hand defeating the purpose of this ship.

I do wish to add that it looks great, but looks comes secondly unfortunately in this game.
