Mining drills concepts for fuel synthesis. (Will follow up with fuel synthesizer concepts)

Mining drill concept, left is stowed and the right is deployed.

Mining drills installed onto other parts, e.g. fuel tanks.
Top is the small version (5x2, 1000g/sec of raw material, power consumption: 7000 Watts, 168 kWh per Earth day if used continuously) , bottom is the large version (10x3, 50 kg/sec of raw material, power consumption: 350000 Watts, 8400 kWh per Earth day if used continuously).

These drills are power guzzlers, make sure to get enough generators and batteries!

May need to make a generator to power this beasts, but good job overall.

Looks good man

Just assemble a massive solar array to the surface if you plan to start a fuel factory colony

Sweet! Just in time for my ice fishing trip on Europa.

Do bring a gas mask and self heating winter wear, it's cold as balls there and the air smells like arse. Don't expect the fish to taste as delectable as the ones you ate on Earth either, they're probably putrid and flammable, maybe even combustible enough to turn your air tight lander into a blast furnace.

Naw, basicly I figured I'd hook into something like a 20 foot angler fish with a taste for human bone
