Orientation optimazion mining

[Smokifurry]

Hello there

 

I have an idea to optimize the orientation in mining, because i have big problems to orientate myself in round holes, especialy when i mine an asteroid, but also on planets.

 

Would it be possible to change the shape of the digging tools? to a square or tunnel form? so my head would not say the whole time i could also be upside down ...

 

You could also implement it as an upgrade. 

 

Tunnel form:  upperside round, lower side square form

I like the idea of having a way to determine your orientation. It would be a more simple fix to add a HUD indicator like when you turn on the lights you get the inclination indicator.

i know how to get that hud on the right, but that doesn't help my brain  XD it is just a number and i keep my eyes open forthe ores in the mine, not for the number on the angle range. shure i can use it to go out of the mine, but it's hart to keep the orientation during the search...
