ooooh thats nice veryyyy nice love it!

@Ainori... You're welcome. Hope you enjoy!

@Major Spray... Sorry, I only just saw your comment there.
Yes, the hitch is actually 3 separate grids. You have to paste the whole thing into a creative world, then detach all the pieces & save them as BP's.
Then in Survival, you build each piece separately from the truck & use another vehicle to move them into place & attach them. They cannot be built in place using a projector.
It IS possible to build in Survival - I've done it many times. You just need to get imaginative to find solutions to the barriers the game throws up.

thx =)

I am more confused as how to get the entire Hitch system to work properly because just detaching them and saving them doesnt work because the hitch piece apparently is considered another grid

I actually never noticed the different spelling of "Ordonnance" or the ENTIRE French line after it...

BEGONE THOT! (jk)

@CapnKitten... Projectors can't project mutliple subgrids as you found out.
Also - don't try to connect it all together with merge blocks or it'll explode. The hitch uses a double rotor for the tilt mechanism. It will cause you untold problems if you try to merge the various grids.
Instead, you need to detach the rotors & build it in 2 pieces.

Basically like @morganpaul22 says - paste it into a creative world, enter the control panel and select "Detatch" on the 2 rotors named "Hitch Tilt Rotor".
You can then move the tractor & trailer apart and blueprint them each separately.
When you come to build it in Survival mode you'll need to build each blueprint on its own, then move them into position so the detached rotors line up and hit "Attach" in the control panel.

@CapnKitten One thing you could try is to just first paste it into your world while using creative mode. (ATL + F10) admin tools click creative mode then paste it. then you can separate the trailer and truck and create your own separate blue prints for each. Just an idea.

I don't get how to build this... There are several subgrids, and when I try to make it straight from the projector it just gives me the trailer. I am trying to merge block it all into one grid in creative to attach the rotors and grind the support in survival, but there is a tight squeeze that I can't really think how to do. It might just take some work to get the swiveling hitch merged up, but it would be nice if your builds came with support material to grind away after building. Any advice on how to get this thing in survival? I don't know how others are building it.

Nice! Thanks for that. Much appreciated!

I just built it in my new survival game too. It's getting its first proper field testing with me at the same time as you.
Haven't found much Ice so far & have only just finished building a Hydrogen tank to refuel it from, so been relying on batteries & solar up til now (nice & sunny where I'm based).
The batteries seem to have enough power for about 8-10Km out & back (with varying input from solar) before output starts pinking.
Initial tests of the engine is giving me some conflicting results though. First trip out with a full tank & no ice, I clocked 1Litre per second consumption but the tank was empty within 2 minutes. The Hydrogen seemed to suddenly go missing. One second I had loads & consumption was normal, then it's like the game just deleted it all.

OK will do. At the moment I just put in a full O2 Gen and leave it running. It seems to take a while for the O2 Gen to get low. But for curiosity sake. I will do a "Dry" run without the O2 gen going and see how long. I think it will depend on the battery status and weather also (For the solar panel). Since you have 3 different power sources in there you have 3 variables... I like doing this kind of stuff and will get you a run down of my findings in a couple days. For my part its a damn good little starter truck and i use it for everything :D

Thanks @morgan! Haven't tested it on Titan, so good to know.
If you get chance would you mind noting down roughly how much run-time you get out of the engines on a full tank of Hydrogen & letting me know?
Different people are reporting wildly different run times for Hydrogen Engines, which makes me think they're not working as intended. Could do with more data to compile into a report for Keen.

Lovely, Been waiting for this one! I built your GAS F.A.R.T. in survival. Works real well on Titan. I'm using it all the time.

Haha!
