Anyone know of a way to build this from projector? I figure there might be a trick I don't know.

@Quickshadow10m yeah man its a bit late.

That comment is like two years old, I think you are late.

yah stop, Im reporting @Darkrubberneck

Gross

I am a female with a deep voice... So I guess it is okay that my balls haven't dropped. Or maybe I dropped them somewhere and stomped on them, not sure?? :)

Haven't even finished the video yet and I have to say his voice is fine, he's like a some what older Butters from South Park. Really people? Voice gripes? Oh and looking forward to the book!

it is a very good book. i enjoyed it a lot.

so did i. you finished it yet? I have read it twice now.

i bought the book

@DarkRubberNeck dude your balls need to drop, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ soon

The way this guy speaks in the video is annoying.

I love destroying things. I kinda feel bad about doing it to peoples awesome works, but half the fun about a showcase is always blowing it up at the end XD

@DarkRubberNeck: I'll add your showcase up there if you don't mind. It will help people get a sense of what this thing can and cannot do. Thank you for destroying my mobile base :D

Hey I love rolling rover bases like this so I made a showcase video for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzRMbQoJG9w

I wish that one day somone makes a proper caterpillar tracks mod. I mean like a wheel and suspension. It would fit this build soo well.

@parkasever you should consider adding a sprew to the middle to make this projectable in survival.

I've had to step away from the game due to my computer not being able to handle it anymore, but i would love to try this new design out next time i can get a new pc. love the way you did the wheels, DAS could be really useful to sync them up across grids.

As my man Firestorm says: feel free to re-purpose this blueprint to suit your needs. It's an engineering game :D I did my best to make this a problem-free vehicle, but if you find something that can be done better - go for it! That is the point of this game imo.

They could be retrofitted!

why arent the scouts drones?

For grids that make use of large subgrids should have a seperate blueprint for the butt half. !Boom! Survival Ready

@Chaz.fml
Projectors dont work through rotors, the ass end is considered a subgrid and wont be projected.
(IE this build is not 'survival' ready)

for some reason when i try to build this on a projector, only the front half shows up. what am i doing wrong?

Oh. Yes. This looks like something the feral martians would use!

nice,effective and compact build...the kind of thing space faring companies(mining) would probably use to examine the geological makeup of a planets surface. looks good.^^

You could make there be a merge block to couple the back end so you can projector build it

hay you should get your book on Audible for us people who are at work most the time

cool!

@Terramir - That is exactly right. Since the craft is so light, ion thrusters do provide thrust in the atmosphere. Not enough for vertical thrust, but enough to keep it from "drifting" away. Original "Speck" ultralight that I use in survival has one atmo for vertical and ions for forward thrust actually.

nice docking mechanism BTW.

so do they still provide enough power in atmosphere because of how light the craft is?

@Terramir - cheaper, smaller and less energy. Feel free to change it, but then it's not ultra light scout.

why ions on the scouts?

@Korvatus Klok - no trick, supregrinding or anything. Although I noticed that you can add more armor around them when you set wheel height to maximum. To improve steering, I set one pair of wheels to "reverse steering". I hope this helps.

How did you do the wheels?

Also, I love the inverted wheels!

That looks cool!

That's an awesome idea! Well done!
