Hey! I love the truck, but I do have a question. For some reason the thing on #4 broke and I'm not really sure on what it was supposed to be. I'm assuming internal lights, but I'm unsure. Why'd it break? Probably cuz I have a bunch of mods. So, no issue with you.

my designation is basically [area of operations] [propulsion type] [role]

in this case:
T - Terrestrial: land/planetary operation
W - Wheeled
C - Command/Cargo/Utility

the number is basically the model number in a series

combat vehicles are TWA(terrestrial, wheeled, attack/combat), TAF (Terrestrial, Atmospheric, Fighter), SDD (Stellar/Space, Dual-Drive (ie; hydro/ion), Destroyer) and so on.

if the craft can operate on both space and planets, it's designation becomes S/TAF and so on

Thank you. For lore building reasons, what does TWC mean?

so long as original is linked back, no qualms

Hello, what do you think about significantly modified versions being posted to the workshop?

is it possible to get one multipurpose version of this beauty ? ( able to craft etc.... )
kind like a mobile base ( but at this size :) )
really love your designs !

You mention scripts but I don't see any listed.. did I miss the list?

very cool truck

Love the update!

updated with small grid doors, and full airtightness!

Tried the block removal tips for the wheels, but I still can't make them fit.

Awesome build tho!

whoah, when i saw this i was like "NO WAY THIS IS VANILLA"

Just one piston for the door behind, no rotor. Nevertheless i kicked the door away replaced it by a modded ramp, sealed the interior, shielded it, added cryo chambers added thruster in the back for enough power to climb hills as it is quite heavy.

@Sukriz04 It uses a piston for the blast door at the back, that you can see in the 5th picture. Can't remember if there's more pistons and rotors of the top of my head ^-^'

this ship have rotors or pistons
?

@Const and our name very similar...too...

@BadChrisNoHope we can made airtight with vanilla, but it will hard to production in Survival. you could try that 'door = merge block movable on rotor'.

And more: are you sure we're not clones? Even like the same game, HomeWorld, War thunder, Space Engineer. I guess you've also played Stellaris, Civilization, KSP?

I can't believe that our works are released at different times, but the cockpit is almost the same! Most importantly, I guarantee you that my work ‘012-A' is 100% self-designed. High synchronization rate! This is the most amazing place!!

can be made airtight easily with a mod, but would require some mergeblock subgrid contraption to do so vanilla

Hi, I'm guessing it's not airtight bc small blocks?

Hi
I'd like to know what scripts are used for the displays. Could you link those?

how do make this one in survival

Whoa! Is this a small grid? How long did it take to build?

I've made a short video with testing)

Works great, thx a lot. Good Work

Try it with my Advanced Wheel Controller.

Add programmable block and run this script on it.

Fits in my spaceship to drive around

all good mate, no offense taken

@const so sorry mate I wasnt really directing that at you, more directing it at the folks requesting suspension changes.. and also meaning it in DEFENSE of you. Sorry again if i came across as criticizing or patronizing you. So again, i was basically trying to say to other commentators to stfu and quit bitching because converting wheels / suspension systems is one of the SIMPLEST changes you can make to someone elses work... all these people can easily swap some wheels around instead of pressuring you to do it for them :D

alright, updated the wheel wells. they should spawn wheels in now easily. please notify me if any problem still arises.

i'll have a look at the design later, and remove, or redesign the wheel wells to make it easier to print, been having many other projects

for now, refer to Mr. Wanaskiwin's fix for it

as i recall, where the wheels were are a few slope blocks preventing them from being built.

not able to place the armor blocks and the wheels. makes it unable for the wheels to be built any way around this?

yes, i am aware of this syroth, i have used various rotor suspensions several times over published, and unpublished works.

this particular vehicle, was not designed to be an offroader capable of scaling mountains, or traversing extremely rough terrain. Also, i wanted to keep hard to build subgrids out of the picture, as i wanted this to be easily projectable in survival. Like i have said before in the comments, this vehicle was made specially for the ME Planet since it has rolling hills, long flats, and not the vanilla earthlike spiky mountains, and uneven terrain in general.

primary reason though, is ease of use and production in survival, as to why i avoided using complex suspensions. but thank you for your feedback

Basic principle is this. More rotors/wheels = more pivot points = better ability to articulate the suspension in order to keep wheels in contact with the ground at all times. So layer on as many rotors as you feel like

..you can also stack this. I often have 3 rotors per side of vehicle, and 4 wheels per side. One rotor per side to start, then you hang a bar symmetrically off that first rotor, then add a rotor to each end of that bar... where you then hang another bar off of each of those two rotors. Then those two bars get two ( or more if you want ) wheels each. Steam comments are so brief I cant describe this much but throw this setup on this vehicle and it does a hundred times better.

A thought on suspension / clearance. You can always raise a vehicle, and redo the wheels. Its the easiest mod u can make. I personally put on a tiered lever system of wheels onto most vehicles. Like putting a bar on a rotor on free-spin ( no resistance or torque applied ) and putting a wheel on each end of the bar so the rotor is in between. You can use these perfectly symmetrically or you can offset the rotor a bit. This is key for offroading anyway, do yourselves a favor and learn this trick to improve any vehicles offroad capabilities

@maxwindude
yes, it's buildable in survival

Is this buildable in survival?

@όσ αρχεος
yeah, off-road wasn't what i had in mind when i made this, more of an RV type of thing. also, i never play on the vanilla earthlike anymore. medieval planet is my go to planet since it is 1000% friendlier to rovers

glad you like the rest of it though, thanks!

Two things.
1) The design of this truck and all of it's details are awesome. I love the design, both aesthetically and engineering wise. Props man!
2) This truck has really bad approach and departure angles, making it super easy to get stuck on uneven terrain. I could not even get it up the ramp to my landing pad (it uses ramp blocks). This makes me sad. :(

For me, and I can only speak for myself, as impressive as this rover is, it does not make the cut as an exploration vehicle due to the lack of angles. I love everything about this rover, except that, and I did make sure that the height offset was maxed. It is... Simple fix: redo the front and rear bumpers/fascia to accommodate bet angles for more effective off-road use.

A fitting mobile command center...

Reminds me of one of those spawn trucks from Planetside 2. Looks cool

yeah, sure. I don't see why not

is it okay to make a review video about it

It so comfortable!

yeah, sadly.
solution is either to remove several blocks in the wheel compartment to make the wheel spawn, or manually finish the base first, so the wheels properly spawn
