a 2x4 room with griding wheels on the front, it would mine asteroids or ship parts and collect the resources automatically, it would consume energy but only when mining
it could be used to make asteroid swipers or diggers

Already in Roadmap
safe burrow
ye ik, you see, thats a weapon
sonic shore
Yes but it's technically the same thing
safe burrow
in that logic ion beams and mining lasers are the same

Honestly I don't see any sense of contact mining when crew and ships mine with lasers

i feel like this would be cool if it transported the recources into the ship right as it mines
though, with asteroids and such the recources dropped are sometimes much more than can fit in a ship modules storage, so it'd drop anyway
and there probably are problems with programming it to put the mined resources into the ship, with duplicating or deleting recourses.
idk
if it "only" mines i dont see a point to it

Why use this over a mining laser?

Why use this over a mining laser?
Literally no reason, Mining laser makes it drop a bigger percentage of the resources, if you destroy something you get 50% of it, if you mine it you get 75% and if you use a mining laser you get the 100% IIRC

Why use this over a mining laser?
with the mining laser have to got to an asteroid, stop, mine and wait for the crew to bring the resources and then repeat, if have a wall of these and just fly through the asteroid ring, mining 100% of the time without having to stop
