(Updated blueprint fixes color and the mod is no longer required)

I see that. I don't know why that happened so Let me fix that. One of the updates at some point must have done something to color values

its black

It would be great if you were able to walk around instead of their just being a cockpit at the front

I understand perfectly, Ectior.

Thanks for considering it, anyway.

As much as I appreciate the offer I would hate to have people try and follow my work schedule. Because it doesn't exist. I mostly just do this when I have the whim so updates can be either weeks or months apart. If you do want to do something I strongly recommend trying yourself and seeing how it goes. You can even upload it to the workshop and link it here and I may even put it in or base a design off of it.

I want to stress that I am not trying to shoot you down and if you feel the want to create the best but hardest thing to do is to just throw yourself at the wall and try, even if you don't have someone around to help. I am honestly flattered that you want to work with me on this but for now it's a solo project simply due to having random bursts of work ethic.

I was hoping perhaps you'd want some help! Because I'm ready and willing to do just that.

I may not be quite as skilled as you are, but I'll learn.

And before long, we'll be saying it together!

THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!...ing into Space! (Engineers.)

(And if you catch the reference to a specific episode, feel free to mention it in your reply.)

While I have toyed with the idea, I wanted to get the other Thunderbirds running as well and decided to devote what time I spend on this project to that, (see Thunderbird 1).
I did equip this model with one pod however. Not too accurate to the show but more of a proof of concept. It does self assemble with minimal setup but to be honest just getting that to work was a pain with my size constraints.

Not to say I don't want to. My eventual plan is to torture myself and make a full Tracy island style launch setup with all Thunderbirds. This will probably include pods. No timeline or ETA since i'm basically fighting the grid style building system to even make these curvy boys and it's basically whenever I can bully myself to get this done.

I am also planning on redoing the shaping of this one now that we can put windows on small ships without mods and I'll try to remove the hinges as well to make it full vanilla

Just saw it on the Last Stand Gamers showcase.

Very impressive, reminds me of the new Thunderbirds Are Go version.

I was wondering if we could maybe get show-accurate Modules and Pod vehicles? Usually Module 2 is the multipurpose Pod, carrying the assembly system.

For the benefit of those not familiar with the TBAG series:

Module 1 is fire-fighting equipment.
Module 3 is the electromagnetic grappling claw (could be simulated using landing gear)
Module 4 carries Thunderbird 4, along with additional grappling arms and seats.
Module 5 carries extra fuel and other liquids.
Module 6 is the Space Module.

The various pods are:

The Mole Pod (would have to be equipped with a large bank of drills instead of the single drill it uses in the show)
The Bulldozer (Might be possible, don't know because normally, piston+rotor=boom)
The Elevator Pods (Comes in Master Elevator Car and Remote Elevator Car variants)
Pod Explorer (Space variant)
The Gecko Pod
Foam Stabilization Pod
Cargo Pod

thank you. :3

Done

can we get a link to the base pod?

Yea it has problems. I did rush it out too much. I'll have to seriously double down and refurbish it.

very nice, but the rear hydrogen thrusters didnt work when I spawned it in

If it is an issue with the mod then that is out of my hands unfortunately. However I was tossing the idea around of updating this blueprint in vanilla now that I have learned a thing or two and can tidy her up a bit.
I'll probably release it alongside my Thunderbird 1 as soon as I get around to actually finishing the cockpit.

so i know this is an old blueprint and all but do you know why when ever i try load the mod it always crash. Or will or hve to ask the mods dev?.

The only way to pick a pod back up is to lower the T2 onto the pod again. Although I did attempt to make it as accurate to the show verion is as possible, unfortunatley some functionality had to be sacrificed in order to stay within the constraints of accurate size and shape. Maybe in the future if I revisit it with more mods I can fix the nose, legs, and pod retrieval.

Is there a way to pick pods back up?

and the conveyer hinges also

that's becausse mods out off date

i dont like it i love it
but its sad that pink textures are making me crash rapidly ;(

Yes thank you. Glad to know you like it

im adding this mod to my collection so i can acces it faster is that fine?

then it should be there i didnt remove the standaart pistons
but the game still does that

Only one mod, you may need to go into your world settings and add the mod into the world you are using. The pistons are standard pistons and just to make sure I loaded into a non modded game. Make sure you have the mod I have linked to this craft file otherwise it will do as you have said and fall apart. And even though the hinges are only used for non esential parts of the craft I do enjoy people seeing the full intention of the craft.

Any way bit of a text wall but here is a link to using the mods correctly if you need it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=296249959

i believe you are using the diff pistons becausse they where removed by the game and i have standert game's piston

Bag = back hatch

it is still giving me that info that i miss mods or something and the wing's where falling off the the hatch on top lays loose the bag hatch has fallen of aswhell as the pod doors

qstion which mods did you have in your world

I have fixed the required list. I apologise for not doing this sooner but I am still navigating the workshop publish menu and figuring things out

are you using mods in this then say so i canot load it becausse its saying block's are missing means you got mods in it. so plz add them to description

and its small block's gone large almost lol

aka atmospheric

is this total vannila yes or no iff there are mods needed plz say so and is this for planetary flight

Thank you for the design flaw. I'll fix it over the weekend. If you used this craft in survival though I would love some feedback from someone who used it in a practical sense as opposed to the showpiece it was meant to be

love the ship i think you nailed the feal of thunderbird 2

love the ship i think you nailed it

the reacters in your neciles arent plumed all the way
