the venture rapid cannons block the sky anchors

Very cool idea, very fragile drones (and carrier)
It's quite smart making the drones collect resources for you
I wish there was a way to reattach drones to the carrier, could be possible with that RR block

How do you release the drones

I HAVE SPENT OVER 2M BB ON IT ALL READY

no

Does this lag? Because I run on an Intel core I5

ok

Were you trying to use it in co-op? This version is single player only. In the description is a version that's co-op compatible.

i cant use it

Thanks!

well it looks cool either way, gj man

Hmm, I guess it kinda does? Though it wasn't my intent to copy the look.

just me or does this look like a cargo ship from no mans sky?

trailer bits can be bought up to a limit at,until they restock, i have stocked up on them for a few days,but they are a little more limited than other parts you can just create

Hmm, possibly for the R&D folks. Getting that many trailer bits might be difficult in campaign since they're experimental. Not to mention it's pretty finicky lining everything up just right. Non-R&D users could try using the BF collector hoops instead. They're easier to use and can be much more easily acquired in campaign.

Either way, I'd rather despawn then resummon as necessary. Or just travel a bit slower so the drones can all keep up.

if you use hooks you can reattach them as a trailer this may help ppl out

TerraTech doesn't support recalling techs released by explosive bolts. The closest you can come is despawning the drones (easy via tech manager) then reloading your current tech to the Maul again. You'll lose a bit of power restarting all your bubbles, but it could be useful for traveling long distances.

are you able to reattach the drones to the "mothership"?

It shouldn't take too long if you're harvesting trees in a grasslands biome. Alternatively, you could spawn in a charger tech. I do agree it takes a very long time if you rely only on the built in solar panels, they're meant for power maintenance while the Maul isn't in use.

When I spawn it in I usually charge it up about half way with a turret or base, deploy the drones, then make use of the built in mobile furnace generators to finish powering it up.

my only concern is the time it takes to get it to full energy capacity

Thanks! Glad ya like it!

tahs cool

The default button is X. If that isn't it, check your keybindings for the explosive bolts.

how do you release the drones

I had posted the Hatchet a few days before the Maul. You can get it here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1876944336

Can you upload just a drone?

Haha, yes a lot of testing. Though it helps that I reused the drones from an earlier build and have made other carriers before. The biggest test was just after I built the spine and put all the drones on it to see if the concept of nose-down releasing would work in the first place.

Damb this must have taken a lot of testing

JESUS CHRIST! That is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. Im no going to even pretend to know how that works, let alone how it works so smoothly

Thanks! Always nice when a build works out better than you thought it would.

neat

nice

Cela fonctionne dans la dernière mise à jour stable, la version 1.3.3

je n'ai pas la possibilité de changer de programme bêta.

Thanks, glad you like it! I've made a number of techs over my time in TerraTech, but I think this one is one of my best mixes of form and function.

This thing is awesome. I can definitly not build this . Iv'e only been playing for a month and I am doing pretty well BUT THIS IS TOP NOTCH

Make sure you’re using the unstable branch of TerraTech (1.3.2.3 as of this post). There are directions in the bottom of the description. It should work even if you don’t have R&D since it does not use experimental blocks.

It won't let me spawn this thing in the R&D Chamber

Ooh. There we go, finally; Salem's Train hit the 10 day mark so is dropping out. Now you're on the top spot, as this should be.

Hmm, that's kinda weird. Steam can certainly take until the end of the day to first list an item in any position, at first. But generally it updates the relative positions immediately. I've tweaked my items in real time by unfavouriting or down voting my own to de-prioritise, etc, and seen other's go straight up to the top page after favouriting, etc.

Matt's "tech of the week" seems rarely to have made any notable impact on workshop views (I watch these things out of interest). But then mostly he's selected fairly unremarkable items that are a week old or so, so already peaked. Whereas this was brand new, so just a couple of views can make a difference early on, and it looks cool, so will have gotten more click-through, probably...

Anyway, hope you keep enjoying posting. Always glad if I helped inspire anyone.

After a about week things don't show up on the front page. I had a scrap mechanic creation get to 3rd on the front page. Following week it wasn't there at all. My assumption is steam does this to keep on tech from always being front page.

Not yet. It's just Steam being Steam. My guess is things only get sorted once or twice per day. This is still the best response to a new tech I've posted despite Salem's awesome train creative save and your great all-rounder build. Probably a large part of which is due to it being picked as Tech of the Week (thanks devs!).

Regardless, it doesn't bother me. I post techs because it's fun to run with ideas and see what other things get inspired. ZG, your comment about a dedicated carrier for Hatchets in my Hammerhead comment section inspired this in the first place.

I honestly don't understand why this item's now listed above my "MaraudingElephant" right now, on the workshop. All your visible stats and higher and you posted it more recently. I feel like a fraud... Did you somehow pick up a negative rating or anything?

You need to be in the unstable branch since it uses some of the new Hawkeye armor blocks introduced in 1.3.2.1. Directions to access the unstable branch are in the description at the bottom.

It does not require R&D.

showed up in my game as missing blocks. In r&d mode so not sure why there was an issue

Thanks, and it being a bigger build with several AI will stress the game engine more than most. Though it's not as bad as my Piecemaker or Warthog. The Hammerhead may be a good option, it's smaller with a similar style.

is it just my shit pc or is this tech really laggy
cool build tho

Thanks! I really like how the drones drop too.

Fantastic splitting!!
