[Mexpex] Heavy Mining Drill [stable/dev]

Description
Heavy Mining Drill

This heavy industrial mining drill is made to be used on larger mining ships.
Its designed with great durability and deep space mining expeditions in mind.

Large:
Size:5x5x7
Weight: ~400 000kg
High Durability

Small:
Size:15x15x21
Weight:
(Solved by SE update)Low Durability

Small XL(for crazy builds)
25x25x35
Weight: ~400 000kg
Low Durability(bug?)

Lod -Yes
Survival - Yes
Dx11 - Yes
Dx9 - Yes

Max speed to survive crash
Large Block: 25m/s (highes ive tested)
SmallBlock: 20m/s (havnt tested higher or on server)



Cost and weight - It sure cost alot and there by gets a huge weight but its durable what will withstand to bump into asteroids. You dont want to arrive to a location and by misstake destroy the drill as the first thing you do.( will do test to compare durability)

Drill radius - I wanted to go for a kinda realistic size and made it a tiny bit larger

Storage capacity - In the config for the drill there is no option to set a storage size. But i think the size is detement by the size of the drill since the Earthbreaker is larger and got more cargo space.


Future mining themed equipment:
Cargo Container
Low profile sportlight
Refinery
Larger Drill with a unique feature

To do
Better Collision model

The drill doesn't show up as a tool block, so it can't be operated by mouse buttons. Can someone help me with that?

Small grid variant causes massive lag on Dedicated server when attaching blocks.

Couldnt get the small drill to build correctly in survival. Large grid was fine though

Still works, but how does this fare against the Prototech drill?

Is there any way to reduce the radius of the footprint this drills from? I mean I have this drill pointing out the back of my large mining tracked vehicle, and it digs into the ground taking my mining vehicle straight down into the hole.

for 'heavy mining drills', they happen to be way too fragile. especially for their price
