Which Vehicle is best

[2hBox]

I need one for land exploration

[Mr. Bufferlow]

Your ship is probably the best. The exocraft are all bad IMO.

But if im collecting materials on foot what should I use?

[Captain Brendig]

There is no good answer to that. It would depend on your own personal preference between speed and storage. Roamer is the general purpose, Pilgrim is good for fast extraction (storm crystals, etc.), and the Nomad for light duty go anywhere. Colossus is best for storage.

The nautilon is a must have imo. So much easier having a savespace when exploring under water or building under water. Also the nomad is great for fast roaming or looking for underwater plants while hovering over water.

My personally usage,

Nomad; go-to for general purpose run around and scanning. In my current loadout I have all slots filled with tech so there is no room for cargo. fast and good over rough terrain and water.

Nautilon (sub); exploring any water planet. Useful for find water base fauna and sunken crashed ships.

Colossal; storing base building materials. basically a mobile storage locker, I do not have any extra techs installed.

Roamer, used sometimes exploring and mining. Current tech loadout has a few open slots that I keep I sometimes need, but don't want to keep in my exo suit.

Pilgram, I don't use this. It is a little faster than the Nomad, but I like the Nomad's over water ability.

The hovercraft for sure. I've scaled vertical walls with it, can go over water and mountains easily. Great Gravitino Ball collector.

My fave is Roamer.. All the Hazard Protections, all the Upgrades for Laser, Engine and Acceleration plus all the scanners for finding specific structures. Still a few slots left for storage. Also use Nomad and Nautilon plenty.

Mech is great for collecting storm crystals since you do not have to get out. :)
Also good for finding crashed ships/freighters.

Roamer general purpose, finding monoliths/portals, enough slots for hazard protection and speed upgrades for stormy planets. Current goto only favored due to nerf.

Nomad favorite prior to Mech Nerf without hazard protection really fast. Great on paradise planets without storms.

Nautilon underwater crashed ship search.

Pilgrim and Colossus Base Storage.

I mostly use:
Pilgrim for getting somewhere fast over land.
Nomad for fast travel over land and water.
Mech for gathering during storms or high combat situations (aggressive sentinels, looting depots, biological horror missions).
Roamer for searching for structures, or as a good all-rounder.
Nautilon for water exploration.

I don't think I've ever used Colossus, but i can see how it would be useful for gathering massive amounts of materials.

Tl;dr: it depends on the situation.

Mech is pretty good for all around usage, it can go anywhere really, underwater, lowlands, highlands, the scanner is pretty good too, it also can bore deposits and have a ridiculously strong mining laser, and what makes it my favorite is how protective it is, aggresive faunas doesnt target you, sentinel scan? just soar away, storm? safe, it doesnt drain your life support, and it is so fuel efficient to the point of, ive been using it since it came out, and i never refuel it ONCE.
The only downside i can think of is how slow it is, but you can always use the jetpack which also recharge almost instantly and doesnt drain your fuel faster, and its maneuverability, i do say the movement is janky, but once get used to it, its not an issue.

[Asmosis]

I like driving the little buggy more than the others, but the hovercraft is the most practical for exploring.

[m1a93]

Which one uses the least fuel?

[taniwhat]

The (tooled up) scanners in the Nomad, the Nautilon and the Mech are useful even if the vehicles themselves aren't wonderful.
As a hint it's the stuff that doesn't look useful at first that is of most benefit. Exosuit a bit storage deprived then the fast and cheap way to fix that is .....

[2hBox]

Ok but how do I get these vehicles is the new question

Why would you waste time collecting minerals on foot?

You can rack up boat loads flying low and strafing. I seldom land on planet unless it's at a building with free parking. Then seldom get far from that point. Never use ExoCraft except in rare occasion like "Dreams of the Deep" mission.

But the Nomad I guess is what I'd think was the best.
