Great design. I made some tweaks myself, which includes an extra 3-4 storage containers while maintaining its original layout. I also added a rotor point for adding tools. The different versions include a missile launcher system, miner, welder, and grinder.

If you're interested EctoSage, I'd be willing to upload them to the workshop (while providing credit, of course).

cwuster me to

This thing is hilariously easy to roll on a planet's surface, and the artificial mass doesnt seem to do anything to help. Adding downward thrusters seems to be a much more reliable way to keep this thing from flipping over. Otherwise this is a neat design, and we didn't really know how planet gravity would work until the last minute anyways.

can you do it without the mass blocks now?
planets has arrived. Yay !!!!

very good

sage i would like to be friends with you

found the issue, since i havent played in a while i didnt know about the mass effecting vehicles....even in creative ugh. the wheels where not turning cuz i was 400tons.

@sketchfox00653
yeah i did that, but i was also on the planet map which has gravity, and neither thing worked

jmsabin48 did you plop down a gravity generator? You need gravity for the Artificial Mass to work

its awsome but mine doesnt work. like i went to the planet to test it and took off the handbrake and it wont drive, like wheels turn, it doesnt move though

@uroboros Because it needs more dakka.

can we be friends?

@Florosaurus
agreed but you may ned just some small reactors around the rover so if the big one's go boom you still have some

just a passing thought but wont we nneded to experiment with land based mining vehicles because i am thinking that mining with ships unless purpose built could be complex / difficult to do on survival for planets (due to falling rocks etc)

@Great Squid
Then your fighters must be bulky as hell, not to mention expensive to build. I'm going to guess most of the people boasting about how many large reactors they use are using sandbox mode to 'easy' design. I mean, why bother making your design effective when you can just add another 8 large reactors and build a wall of large thrusters, right? :P

dude my carrier has 16 large reactors and my fighters have 2 large xD

I never only put one reactor. I always use at least two in case one gets wrecked. Two reactor is bare minimum, nor overkill

cool design SAGE

haha when people say having 2 large reactors are overkill makes me laugh, also cool design haha

@nyalldavis

2 large reactors?
Overkill?

Well, i had about 5 large reactors in my superfast fighter so, pretty formidable, those reactors might power any other attatchment, it may function as a mobile base, or a spacecraft carrier for land.

Maybe the reactors are so you can power whatever attachments you put on it. It's practically begging for a drilling rig addon. Or a turret...

2 large reactors?
Overkill?

Very fine machines, keep up the good work.

ModdedChris, ME ground textures where add in update 1.089, only accessible in createve right now.

How did you get the ME textures?

The word you want is "scheme".

What is the Joint Survival upload date for you, Aaron and Scott?

I think it is very cool because it is something that I feel only you could create. I also like the color scaem (skeam?). P.S. Don't call something that it isn't, I'm talking to you comments, it's stupid not funny.

Is it a LOL-rover??? lOl

please tell Arron74 i can not contact him. please i need this ship finished not for myself but for the comunity im shure it can be a great ship no matter who builds it.

EctoSage i built a ship and i have lost hope i need someone to set things right i have heard you are one of the best for the job. if you can complete it you may have this large ship for yourself on my workshop its called *prototype battleship hull*

wow i saw the workshop upload before the video... whats up with that?

i made a pair of modfied versions. screenshots here: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/profiles/76561198039808833/screenshots/?appid=244850
not uploading to workshop without sage's permission since they are based on his work.

The Lo-Rover looks like the APC from the movie Alien awsome

Tracks might be better for this in real life anyway, Tracks are too complicated for me to make in game.

very nice vehicle i will us it in my new up coming ship thx :).

Hey sage is it ok if when Im done my modifications I send you world link or blueprint?

I am going to modify this so it can hold more people and the reactor will be moved back so it won't get damaged easily demonstrated at the end of the video. I'm going to have fun with this :)
