(0.13.4) MoMining 0.1.2

[ludsoe]

Momining is a mod centered around expanding the possible ways to mine resources. Currently it only features Mining robots.
As this is a early build of the mining robots, Id like some feed back on their operation and balance. Lets create the best robotic mining together, eh?

Features

Mining RoboPorts: Mine resources with the power of construction bots!

Mining RoboPort Instructions

First you have to place down the mining roboport and supply it with construction robots. Hint: Placing it near ores and supplying power are essential.

Small Warning

The mining robots are quite buggy currently, (Restrictions with forces and some other things resulted in some... Interesting work arounds which are likely to bug out in some cases.)
However they are stable enough for proper game-play, and as such I have released them.

Hey, interesting mod !
will use it in my nexts playtrough !

just after a quick test, I think it's weird that your mining robotport works even when there is no power !
and I think it would be interesting to have the place where the ressource is mined not always at the same place (imo, it should cicle through all nerby ressources)

and what about having a beam from the robotport to the ressource to "explain" why a piece of ore is out ?

anyways, great job on reusing the construction bots to do this !

[StanFear]

hy, after playing with it a bit, I removed one of the mining robotport and all my contruction bots I had inside disapeared ... is that supposed to happen ?

[oresKa2]

looks cool but... you said it was buggy, you mean buggy as in a bit of fun with the robots taking a vacation now and again, or like a crash here and there?

[ludsoe]

Don't think Ive encountered a crash while in use after I fixed some quirks involving belts being overfilled due to silly, but there's a chance of it happening. But as people reported there's some issues with removing existing roboports as I have to do nasty hacks with ownership and what not to make the mod work properly.

In the future could we maybe get the ability to use different types of construction robot? as several mods add in mk2 and so forth

VERY high script update time. Anything you can do to reduce this? It kinda gives a microstutter combined with other mods :/

I noticed this, and I'm unsure of what causes it really. Ill look into heavy optimizations the next round of changes I do.
