Over The Tire Tracks

Description
Treads for your skid steer vehicles!

Adds in a brand new set of OTT tracks to install on your skid steer vehicles.

Currently just 3x3 for the small ship, as I wanted to get the proof of concept out into the wild.

These do not have any collision. You can only turn them on or off, and they will only run forward. Eventually this will get a dedicated script written for it, and other tracks in general.

Tracks are placed by an Armor Plate and Suspension wheels are placed on either side. Set Maximum Offset and an appropriate wheel strength. Limit the Steering Angle to 1 degree. Speed Limit should be 7.2km/h to match track speed. I recommend setting up Whip's Skid Steering Script to drive around.


Current Features:
  • Small OTT 3x3 Tracks
    • They move
    • Survival Ready
    • Costs the same as a 3x3 wheel, so it's functionally a spare.


Other Mods:
All models have been created by me and include build stages and LODs.

Animated using Animation Engine by Math0424

This mod would be impossible without the efforts of Enenra and Math0424.

If you appreciate my efforts and would like to keep me caffeinated, you can do so here[ko-fi.com]

Someone needs to FR revive and improve this to be a functional thing

Hello, is it possible to do more than one animation (on/off) for block and link it to a speed?

We need more!

Okay, thanks for your response anyway!

Probably not, I don't know if I will actually develop these any further.

Will you update these to work with the new 2x2 wheels?

Also a toggle in the terminal to reverse track directions would make it possible to control via event controller as well and would be neat.

I love this mod and with the new event blocks it is possible to make it move in sync with tires. Can we get different sizes though? I hope this mod isn't dead.

there's so many tank designs in Space Engineers its amazing Keen hasn't actually added tank tracks yet
