Added a changelog section and a notes section, which includes a short explanation of the Survival troubleshooting.

Enjoy, everyone!

@Lactose the Intolerant - after fully constructing the drone, you need to open up the PB that should already be loaded with Vector Thrust 2. Compile it again, save it, and it will now recognize the thrusters.

The PB command on the remote control (button two, if I remember correctly) will run the argument to initialize the thrusters.

How do I get the engines to work? When put on the rotor they just spin in circles.

Thanks for the permission. Here's a look if you're interested.

@AFilthyNeutral - absolutely. I'm glad you're that happy with it.

@Neraph

Would it be possible to republish this as part of a mod for starting rovers and ships? With due credit of course.

I'll take that into consideration and likely do an update reflecting that. The second picture clearly shows the subgrids as well. I am pretty bad at picture editing, so adding that might be decent enough practice I guess.

On my Twitch, I built this thing during the Lost Colony scenario. The script will sometimes act funny when turning off or on thrusters, so I learned pretty quick to take the battery off recharge, disconnect, turn on thrusters, reset the PB, and do a quick wiggle test before each flight. It's like 4 buttons and a jiggle, but it saves you from losing the drone into a cliff or something.

It's not, because blueprints don't allow sub-grids (the rotors in your case) to be created. Gives a nice error in fact because of that. On the survival world I play on, I got said message and without anything in the description above (would be handy to mention), I had no idea what part(s) you may have had on sub-grids nor what I needed to build manually to fix that issue. I did, after reading your message create a creative game real quick to spawn it in, and I do agree it's an easy fix, unlike many other vehicle makers out there, but I really would encourage you to mention somewhere that for it to be survival ready, you will need to add bits to it - Including a couple pics of the affected areas would be very useful too, as we are not familiar with your design.

FWIW - Once I saw what was needed and added it, it is a very easy, low resource to make and effective drone, very cool!

How not? I built it on survival, that's where the BP came from. For the thruster nacelles you just put an armor block sandwiched by two thrusters and let the script take care of it.

Not survival friendly FYI for anyone wondering..
