Putting effects on drones seems to break them.Slaving systems to salvage seems to break drones.Stop work frequently to test and then re-blueprint your drone.When you have a decent sized drone that works - BLUEPRINT IT BEFORE GOING FARTHER! I think that when something breaks a drone miner, even reversing the change doesn't fix it, but the BP will let you go back to a stage where it worked.Certain configurations seem to break drones (I suspect not having a central beam within their array does this, and possibly having the mining array all in front of or behind the core, as well as possibly the center of gravity being too far from the core, and other strange things). Build your basic systems first before investing time into appearance.So don't waste time - first make sure the core is good. I have no explanation, I know only that once I establish that a new core works for mining, it does - even upon BP respawn, importing and exporting. Because some cores seem to just refuse to work for drone mining. Drop a core, add power, thrust, salvage and storage ONLY then test it before going even one step further. OLD Drone Creation Guide - now obsolete due to improved fleet AI: Drone creation has gotten much easier these days, but I have retained my old set of tips used to get around the super-bugs surrounding the old mining drones: I strongly recommend downloading vetted mining drones from a good engineer over everyone trying to build their own then melting down over how it isn't working. It just requires a lot of persistence, a lot of familiarity with the game, and a willingness to try a few times before you get drones that work. Like chaindrives and docked reactors, their creation is very much not a 1st Tier affair, but DO NOT be misled by the complaints of those who are unable to make it work. Under the current build, mining drones actually work reasonably well, and you can use them to your profit! As a family man who works from home and often needs to be AFK unexpectedly while playing SM, I've found that mining drones go a long ways towards making up part of the resource gap between myself and kids with 6-10 hours to play without interruption several days a week. After extensive fine tuning of my drones, my carryall, and my technique I'm really loving it now. As long as that first welder remains intact and the object has supplies, it might as well be Wolverine.I have been drone mining (using fleets, of course) more and more lately. This also has the advantage of making any base or ship built this way, fully self-repairing. It will also guarantee that all blocks end up welded. This will cause much less lag, because only a fraction of the total number of welders will ever be active at once.

While this is happening, every block adjacent to the active welders is also welded up to full integrity. That first welder will weld up the nearest welders, which will then weld up other welders. All you need to do is weld up the first welder and a cargo container/conveyor connected to a cargo container. Essentially, you build a grid of welders into your ship. The better way to handle this is to make your ships and bases self-constructing, but this takes quite a bit of thought to pull off, and forces you to design things differently than you might otherwise. This is likely to be very laggy, runs the risk of not fully welding up some blocks, and all around is not your friend.
The "standard" way to automate blueprint manufacture in Space Engineers is to use a wall of welders attached to a piston or ship. Depending on how you design your ships and bases, absolutely.
