Mortal Engines - Salthook Traction Town.

Mortal Engines: Salthook Mining/Traction Town

Coming Soon!
Salthook (known as Salzhaken in the film) is a small Bavarian mining town that appears at the very beginning of Mortal Engines. The town was powered by C-20 land engines and could reach 120 MPH. Its most notable cargo was an enormous supply of salt.

Salthook was a small mining and trading town that roamed the northwesterly areas of the Great Hunting Ground. The small traction town was spotted by London‘s lookouts when it was gnawing at the salt flats of the dried-up North Sea as the large predator was making its way back across the land bridge back into Europe. London began to bear down on the small town, and Salthook was making a lead until one of its drive wheels broke loose, crippling and ultimately dooming the town. It was consumed by London and broken up, with its population being absorbed into the city. A few airtraders were able to escape the town implying it had an air quay.

In 1007 TE, Salzhaken was one of several mining towns joined together in a cluster to conduct business before being alerted to the great traction city London's approach. While the other towns quickly sped away, Salzhacken’s engines stalled, allowing London to close the gap between it and its prey. Salzhaken’s engines started just in time to cause London to give chase across the bed of the North Sea. Unfortunately, even after abandoning its huge payload of salt, Salzhaken’s attempt to flee was soon crippled by a combination of ravaged terrain and a lost wheel, which slowed it down long enough for London to capture it through its harpoon launchers. Unable to escape, Salzhaken was soon pulled towards the gaping jaws of London and into the city's Gut. While air traders managed to flee Salzhaken, the rest of its citizens were taken aboard the city for integration into London society. Among these was Hester Shaw, who attempted to assassinate Head Historian Thaddeus Valentine while the refugees were being processed.

Upon being fully cleared of its former residents, London's Gutworkers soon got to work breaking Salzhaken down into raw resources to fuel its engines. During this, Tom Natsworthy chased down Hester Shaw through the ongoing carnage, with the two barely managing to avoid being killed by the carnage.

-Small Grid
In game PCU: Around 65k

Salthook Dimensions:

46m in length
42m in wide

Note that the turning for this vehicle does not work like any other standard rover you use in game. You will use the on board gyroscopes to turn. Like turning a flying grid in game.

((Easier to drive and have fun when block damage is turned OFF, Also less lag.))

I built this as a add on to the London Traction City Recently posted to the workshop. More Traction city's will be coming out soon.
