Congrats to @Ronyn on his promotion to Ember Community Manager!
As CM, Ronyn will be writing blog post updates related to community, and running community engagement events here on the site and forums. He'll also have more moderator permissions, so he can help our mods handle things like badges and name changes.
Thank you, Ronyn, for volunteering to put so much more time into Ember. I am very grateful!
This will help free me up to focus on the next milestone fundraiser on IndieGoGo. We'll be funding the modeling and texturing of a running, in-game model of the T.H.M.P.R. in Unreal 4, as well a design vision hardcover and PDF illustrated book that will help outline the design and vision of the game to new people.

Hehe, that's what it's for - feel free to use it however you like 
The arm is still just rough idea and I tried to give it a visual for better understanding
As far as the feedback so far, I'd say I agree with @Astro that the auger should be longer - though I had the idea that it could be an addition to the event where if you drill deep enough you'd need to install an extension or something of the sorts.
I'm not exactly sure yet on how the resources would get from the sorter to the resource collector - perhaps something as simple as an exhaust that just lobs everything into the ball thingy
Anyways I'll see if I can't wrangle up a concept for the other arm at some point, though the only ideas I have so far is a mountable weaponry platform (like a turret-shoulder) or something similar or perhaps a secondary drill or a deployable additional support or perhaps a modular setup consisting of all of the above where you can switch between different attachments, giving you different results (for example, double drill for extra resources, but attracts more enemies or a turret that adds defence but slows drilling)
EDIT: Drill types switchable, based on what you want to get, maybe?
