Sundamage Zone Resources Grabber Mod
Hi. I needed a way to collect mined resource nuggets located inside the sundamage zone. This mod lets you insta-collect mined resource nuggets floating outside your ship when you’re inside the sundamage zone, which would otherwise be impossible to obtain. I’m now sharing this mod with you.
Essentially similar to my Compacted Storages mod, this mod enables the building of tiny 1×1 storages containing 50, 8 or 1 of one type of raw material. You can construct and deconstruct these storages at will to either store, or release the stores resources.
You no longer need to send out your crew to pick the resources up. With this mod you can basically teleport the nuggets straight into your ship.
It works by constructing these storages in your ships while the resources are floating outside of your ship. As building also uses up resources ouside of your ship, resources inside of the sundamage zone will also be used up without the need to send out your crew (which when inside the sundamage zone will kill them).
This is not a perfect solution, but as far as I know it is literally the only way to grab these resources until the devs make the tractor beam work on resource nuggets (which is currently impossible).
Supported resources incluse Sulfur, Iron, Hyperium, Copper, Carbon, Tritanium, Uranium and Gold. Diamonds are also supported by this mod because there are multiple mods that add diamonds as a mineable resource to certain asteroids.
.
A separate tab is created by this mod in the build menu, so all these new storages are separated from the other buildables, so things stay more organized.

I made this mod because I wanted a way to extract resources from within the sundamage zone without needing to drag out the entire asteroid. So now you can take your sundiver in and find the nearest mineral rich asteroid, mine the asteroids using a mining laser and then basically teleport the resource nuggest into your ship by building these small storages. I didn’t make this with the intention to be a full storage mod as my mod Compacted Long Term Storages does a better job. But Compacted Long Term Storages can only store larger amounts, so this mod was created to make grabbing resource nuggets insize the sun death zone possible.
This is a bit of a no frills mod, but it works perfectly for its intended purpose and all bugs should be ironed out by now.
