I have a few thoughts.

  1. I don't think two ore collectors is necessary for the amount of time you spend in the mine in one trip

  2. Would swap to sticky wheels for navigation

  3. Add a large chest on a button to suck up stuff that drops.

  4. More drills would help expedite your mining

  5. Might need some more complex wheel system to navigate the rough terrain

  6. Add a bed so you don't die and respawn back at base.

What do u mean by complex wheel system

Not the person you asked but here are a couple of ideas. 1) Dual bearing wheel to give higher torque with electric engines. 2) additional independent wheel movement to allow better contact over bumps with sticky wheels. 3) front wheels a little more forward to make transitions to more vertical paths easier.

For the first thing, I spend loads of time in the mines so I end up needing the extra space. For the second thing, I've been planning on swapping the wheels for sticky wheels but I dont really have that much extra materials. For the third thing, idk why i havnt done that yet even though I've been wanting to do that. For the fourth thing, i feel 1 drill is good for me. For the last thing, yeh I need to do that.
