Description
The aardwolf (Proteles cristata) is an insectivorous mammal, native to East and Southern Africa. Its name means "earth-wolf" in Afrikaans and Dutch. Unlike many of its relatives in the order Carnivora, the aardwolf does not hunt large animals. It eats insects and their larvae, mainly termites; one aardwolf can lap up as many as 250,000 termites during a single night using its long, sticky tongue. The aardwolf's tongue has adapted to be tough enough to withstand the strong bite of termites.

Need an affordable, Jump-equipped miner for your early game or an upgrade to your Meerkat? After extensive testing, SSW's engineers have finally given the green light for production of their latest design. This designed-in and -for Reforged Eden Tier 2 unlock level 12 SV miner comes from the factory with:

Jump Drive
Four (4) Mechanical Drills
10k Harvest storage
Two (2) Gatling guns and one (1) Minigun turret
600 Ammo storage (6000 15mm rounds)
Mobile Constructor, Oxygen Station, Armor Locker, Fridge, Wireless, and Detector

While not as brutally efficient as a 6 drill miner, the 4-drill Aardwolf has one major advantage - the ability to jump to other planets in your starter system to gather the needed resources for your first CV. Using exclusively Advanced Medium Thrusters, it can rotate in its own drill hole and defend itself at the same time while hauling a load of ore back to base.

Once an Improved CPU is added (replacing either of the side piping blocks and hidden truss block), spacing above the Mobile Constructor allows vertical placement of a Light Shield, additional Generator, and enough CPU to upgrade all four drills to the Laser version. Identical space on the opposite side allows the second Improved CPU in case you need a Standard Shield and/or 2 more drills (which would require minor reconfiguration on the front end).

For a test drive of the all-new Aardwolf or any other SSW vessel stop by your local dealer or contact us at 866.456.GOTTABLAST today!

There will be no RE2 releases. I haven't touched the game since August and won't be returning. I had posted WIP versions of the Pika, Meerkat, Aardwolf, and Mhanga in the Anvil's epb-sharing-blueprints channel in April 2024 if you want to go find them.

PSA: While we wait for Stan to complete his build, in order to make the Aardwolf RE2 compatible, you need to replace the mining drills.

my fav sv too... waiting for RE2-compliant.

Oh and please make a RE2 section in your workshop. Hard to work out what works, and what doesn't :)

Help me Stan you are my only hope... please release the Meerkat and Aardwolf ASAP :) Garaman just released my goto CV miner. Now just need my SV's :)

@Palladin888 I have an RE2-compliant version in testing, along with the Meerkat and Mhanga.

RE2 did a rework of weapons and drills once I removed those the fobidden block message was removed

Just started a single player game of RE2 build 15 and the BP says there is a forbidden block. I started an RE2 creative game and took out and replaced every single device and still getting forbidden block. This is my favorite starter sv and I really want it to work.
