I have some QoL suggestions for the MCV: - Slanted half blocks or catwalk railings around the drill for safety. Otherwise OSHA might get all up in your business. 😂😂 - Belly camera and lighting above the drill opening for lining up the drill with ore deposits. - Ore Sorter for the drill. You're probably going to accidentally mine tons of stone. Might be nice to have a button to activate a sorter that automatically purges excess stone. - Headlights for night driving. - Backup camera and light on the rear for backing up out of tight quarters. - Depending on how much reversing you think you might do, it could be worth while to have your front and rear most wheels set to steer and the middle two wheels set to non-steering. This should make driving with the backup camera significantly easier. - Backup alarm. Like how real trucks always beep when in reverse gear. I bet OSHA requires this. 😂 - Strategically placed spotlights, possibly on a hinge and rotor, to illuminate sites of interest. - Connector or cargo access point on the belly for easy material stowage/retrieval when working on the ground. - Antenna in case you forget where you parked. - Point defense pew pews. To chase off pesky OSHA inspectors 🤣 and rover jackers. - Horn. You gotta have a big horn for a rover that size. It's an industry rule. And come on. It's fun too. Crazy suggestions: - A self-righting system incase you get tipped over or a wheel gets stuck in some weird pit. Put a wheel on the end of the arm with friction set to zero to prevent the arm from sticking. - Interior defense pew pews in the cab. Land pirates might try to commit grand theft MCV.
The water recycler will endlessly make water as long as it has access to ice. I tend to not use it, and instead just produce water from the food resequencer, as you can control how much it produces. Also a small mod suggestion: gravel sifter, turns gravel into traces amounts of all materials. I personally don't think its too cheesy as you need a ton of gravel to make any meaningful amounts of ingots such as platinum or uranium, but otherwise you're gonna end up with containers full of gravel.
36:22 Leave the rover as it is and NEVER use "P" for Park. Instead open G while in cockpit of the big rover, select the cockpit and add the "Handbrake On/Off" shortcut assigned to a key on hot bar. I always use Handbrake on hot bar option in my game plays, always stick it on number 1 and everything else from number 2 etc... That way you will never have issue with disconnecting all the grids which is connected. Other method (if you preferred to use the P key) is to find the setting for the specific Mag Plate or connector or any connection block and disable the option "Use for Parking" and that's it. Personally, I prefer the hotbar option, for me it is much faster to use and I don't have to set all my connectors and think if I am set it or not or whatever, this way just press 1 for handbrake ;) Keep up great channel and content :D

I got a few ideas for the rovers, hopefully this can give you some ideas. Big Boi: Since you liked my suggestion of a Scarab beetle, you can always build the solar panels surrounding the back half of the rover, and build a super structure around it that splits open like wings opening while you are drilling, keeping with the 'theme'. Or have the solar panels push upward from the middle of the rover, and split open like a set of wings opening. Either way, it'll help protect the panels from harm while you are driving. But it's so large, it's gonna make terrain a PAIN to get through, especially major hilly or mountainous areas, with a big threat of bottoming out on intensely variable peaks and valleys, leading to - Little Man: I think this would be a fantastic little scouting vehicle, but if you have some kind of station/enemy spawns, it would be a *excellent* opportunity to make some kind of sniper vehicle too, able to knock out turrets so you can scrap things. Having some kind of offset cockpit with a large gun over it's "shoulder" would be freaking awesome to see you roll around in. As for docking space, why not use the rising and lowering of the Big Boi to your advantage? Put a connector on the back of it so that you can pull Little Man Parallel to it's back bumper, lower Big Boi until a connector links to the top of it, raise Big Boi up, and have the connector attached to some kind of rotor so that you can simply twist the whole thing sideways, parallel to the ground. It'll be up and out of the way while you drive.
To eat the steak or other food, right click it in your inventory like you would a medipak. If you want to automatically eat the food in your inventory until your food bar is full, make a passenger seat or desk, and include Noms in the name of the seat. When you sit in it, you'll auto eat and drink until full or use up your supplies. Also, you can go into the mag plate controls, and disable "use for parking" to prevent unlocking the little rover. If you add a connector instead, you will want to make sure both the connector on the small rover and on the large rover likewise have "use for parking" disabled. Mag plates, landing gear, and connectors all have "use for parking" enabled by default.
I've had many catastrophies happen because I remembered to disable "use for parking" on the connectors for my big ship that was hauling smaller ships, but forgot to disable it for the connectors on the smaller ships. Very good advice.
IMPORTANT INFO: If your driving with a helm and or cockpit. Add the helm or cockpit you are using to control the vehicle to a hot-bar and select the parking brake option. Now every time you want to brake just hit that number. I have a mouse with numbers on the thumb pad and tend to find my thumb rests on the 4. That's always been my handbrake number ever since i found out abought this trick. Hope it helps.
2:23 yes there is, it's part of one of the decorative dlcs, it the round vent block, there is half block size and full block size. (it's in the same group of blocks as the normal vent, keen really needs to re-think the block selection panel) 11:00 be very very careful about recharge on/off, if you leave it on and not connected to any power grid, the recharge is going to depower the grid, and despawn if you get too far from it. Learned that first hand, lost about 60 drills from a mining arm that broke 36:20 magnetic plate on the bottom or front that you lock then needed (lock the body, not the wheels, or it's going to clang)
As far as I know, you can select what park break dose and what not. just remove grid magplates. Or use event controler for parking and do other things. Also connector would still be better magplate with compressed wheels can CLAN out. Small rover small conevtor can connect to a large connector in the flore with a glas Plate or Grill in between. even a catwalk works. For stone, Filter, whitelist stone connector on auto eject. If you whan to go fancy, largegrid hinge, filter, smlagrid plate and then nine small connectors to drop small amounts of stone in little pebels like a Bond getaway gadged.
Hey bud, little tip, separate the water processor from the rest of the grid, it will just keep going through any ice it can. Having a small cargo with the water processor in its own supply chain is what you want, yes it means a small amount of manual movement, but it means the ice you get can actually be used for power. Cause otherwise you will have way too much water and no hydrogen, LOL I tend to put a conveyor sorter allowing only the water packets, organics and gravel to go through from the water processor to the rest of the grid, the cargo is there to store any ice you want to be made into water. You are going to need to find the random signals from the base game to find the food ingredients. Crop grower for the veggies and you clone the meat as soon as possible. Always make sure you have 100 meat at any given time, yeah you only need 0.33 to be able to clone, but i like to store the stuff in different places so if something goes boom, i dont loose everything. LOL
For the Industrial Theme you could go for a reverse slope "Bridge" at the front and make it look like a truck and even add a Trailer with the rotors for that Industrial Theme. Also could repaint with yellow or orange and use the rusty/warning theme to further it even more.
Built a miner rover somewhat like yours and yeah it was hard to get that sucker moving once it was full. Stole and idea from Splitise and got it moving by adding a few large atmo's to the back of the rover and controlled them using thrust over ride.
Generally a very good way to reduce a rover's weight, especially when mounted on rotors to always point up, another good option is the Hydrogen Zepelin mod.
For small rover. Large ore detector on rotor as a rear appendage. Connector drop down on bottom of the large rover for small rover, have a kind of garage/dock
About the modules: Power Efficiency: Just plain less energy requirement. never not worth it to put them down if not interested in the other ones. Module-power usage in kW (assember as an example) 0-560 1-374 2-250 3-167 4-112 Speed module: In the end acts as if you build another machine of that kind. It increases the power requirements just as much, but can be much cheaper than adding another big thing like a refinery. Also scales the other modules, e.g. a refinery with a speed module, two yiel modules and a power efficiency modules is as efficient and as fast as two refineries with two yield and a power efficiency module each. Yield Module: only for the refinery, gain more stuff for the same input. 1 module ~20% more, 2 give 41% more, 3 give 168% and all 4 modules result in an extra 100% Also, the refinery has 8 upgrade slots and the assembler has 8 upgrade slots as well, a module can cover 2 slots each. if you take a look at the conveyor ports on the long sides of an assembler, you can see that it has an upgrade slot as well. So if you build them standing upright, you can put modules on all 4 long sides.
You don’t need to lighten the base, put a couple of atmospheric thrusters on the back and you will make it up any hill 😝 I used some nice flat curved ones, can’t remember if they are from a mod or dlc.
Adding forward atmosphere thrusters should help with the speed and weight reduction, I would suggest maybe adding gyroscopes to help with terrain so you can help keep the wheels grounded or just better control
What would really revolutionary Space Engineers playthrough would be one where you strap just some Thruster onto your rover and just fly with that rover from one thing to another! 😉🤪
If you ever need extra drilling depth, replacing the armored conveyors that go to the drilling pistons with an extended piston will offer an additional legth. Just set this piston in reverse of the other ones, as in contract to lower the drills, extend to raise. On the weight there is little to do without redesigning the rover so it can fit more wheels. Adding more refineries and o2h2 gens would help to not idle/afk as much. Ice weights a ton, but unless you have the heavy h2 mod, hidrogen does not have weight, you just carry the (very explosive) tanks. Take note of power consumption though. The alternative to a redesign is to add a trailer and conveyor it so it carries part of the load. Many item sorting scripts like Izzie's can 'balance' the loads trough containers. The problem of trailers in this scale, is that the 'truck' part must have enough torque to move the thing, because the wheels, thrusters etc, cannot be directly controlled from cockpits, and using overrides will cause explosions, crashes, and sacrifices to klang. Also note that all large grid wheels have the same max torque, independent of their size.... One would expect the larger ones to have more, but no, the advantage is clearance from the floor. But its not the end of the world if its not enough power, there is a subgrid control script that allows controling the wheels from cockpits. I do suggest setting speed limits on the trailer wheels though so the trailer does not push the truck, that will go bad. Warning, it'll be very tempting to keep adding trailers and make a land train. Warning 2: you will need a scout vehicle to plan how to traverse mountainous terrain, with trailers you will limit your turning radious.
Reformatting the small rover to be a quick agile flyer or hover vehicle for scouting and finding deposits would be great! go full ship of thesues and retrofit it entirely
Add your cockpit from the G menu to your hot bar and select "parking" you can then press the corresponding button to park your rover. This does not effect any connectors or magplates.
the mobile rover, maybe have a magnet or landing gear at the under back for storage. is there a flexible storage connector to store stuff on a trailor maybe?
Rovers are sensitive to weight distribution so you need extra tires where the weight is, as well as making sure all the weight is lower. Because if you don't then you'll tip sooner rather then later. Mabey a reflection onto the other side so you get another set of refineries and o2 ,then add some more cargo in the back, add some sorters to push all the weight to the back on a bunch of tires like tank tracks and go from there. Just passing thoughts kind of wanna make one in creative. got an interesting idea, The All Mighty Clang will be angry with me for this. but if it works I will die happy.
If you press escape bring up the menu while right click mining, it'll keep it on when you unpause. This only works in single player though where the game actually pauses. Otherwise it just stops when you stop clicking.
you can change the maglock in the settings for "use for parking" to off you can use a turret-controller for the solar-array and set it to allways face sun you can use a turret-controller for the crane aswell also your stack of cargo will make it very top heavy and prone to tip, id built as much of it into the floor and also through my experience, when those cargo get full, and i mean just the ore, your rover will struggle with the smallest amount of incline
I'd argue that a refinery isn't done until it's full of either yield or speed modules; meaning power efficiency modules slow them down by eating mod space.
On the drill a lil glitch u can do is right click in hold then press I to go to inventory in it should keep drilling with right click with out u holding it any more in to stop it just right click again
Leaving the simulation on overnight would be a great way to reduce weight (might want to turn off the hunger mod so you don't starve to death multiple times), but that's the easy way out. Real estate might be an issue later, so you could solve it early by adding more space and as many wheels as you can in the new space to help move the base up hills. It doesn't have to be fast, that's what the scout is for. That being said, it would probably be smart to move the survival kit and health station onto the main base to reduce weight on the scout, the scout should probably only need a small amount of storage, a few batteries and the ore detector. Power generation on the scout should be unnecessary if you can connect it to the scout to charge it.
You can make a docking area, and have small grid "tool ships" for mining, grinding, fighting, etc... just atmosphere engines only and you can cut weight off by not needing a whole mining arm
When it comes to base even mobile, you gotta put up defenses on your rover base to defend against enemies from space. Also, you could have put a hangar for your rover and possibly other vehicles for mobile base. You should put a solar panel roof and/or wind turbine to get more energy where you should put them 🤔 both letf and right sides front. Hope these are good suggestions for your rover base.
Tiny rover as a shuttlecraft-esque? Drive and dock with stations on the ground with some cargo space for selling things Also I'm slightly disappointed you didn't call the second to do list: "Two do" ):
For silver and gold, you could have had pictures of John Silver (from Treasure Planet) and Goldfinger respectively. As for the picture of Silicon, I think you'd have been safer with a picture of a silicon wafer lol Edit: I know it annoys you, but it is not uncommon for eight-wheeled vehicles to have all-wheel steering. This is especially true on military armored and utility vehicles, where maximum mobility and stability are paramount. Edit 2: A decent way of "reducing" the weight of your rover is to spread it out more. More wheels, a longer frame (can be articulated if need be), and a wider wheelbase will do you a lot of good in this instance.
parked vehicles will not move from where they're stationed, whether that be on a ship (gravity generator needed when in space), or on say a giant land tank *v*
I am way behind so maybe it has been done already, but you could add a camera to the underside by the button so you can line up with your target before drilling
answering one of the last questions to comment section, you dont make the rover lighter, make wheels bigger (bigger suspension parts can have more power directed to them(bigger=better(just like americans think the world works)))
For you smaller vechile you could put drills on it for smaller excavations or bolder mineing. Or you could put some grinders on it and use it that way. I was thinking you could put some atmospheric thrusters on it for movement, but I'm not sure if that would be against the spirit of the challenge or not. The "oop sorry" when you ran into the To Done list got me cracking up!
might want to add a thruster in the back to push your self foreword, the heavier you get the harder its going to get to move up hills try one thruster at a time until you feal its moving a little easier, ALSO!!!!!! as for power place a landing gear with a few blocks on it a rotter extending out with more block that is the grid with the landing gear on the end of it place a turbine on it just one you can use that to give you power it will make your rover seam its a static grid. set it to manual lock so you wont jam it up. that way your not using all your ice at one time to run the engines while your not moving. my pc still in the shop so i cant make any video for a while, enjoying yours for the mean time.
In large grid, one O2H2 gen makes enough for one H2 Engine. I believe that a small hydrogen thruster also consumes the same amount of hydrogen as an engine, but I could very well be wrong on that.
Wheel setup for the large rover Friction=100% Power=100% Strength=15% Speed=150 Front pair turn 25 next pair back turn 20 Height offset=max Put a mag plate on the under side of the rover (do this with the little rover aswell), lower the height offset and the mag plate can attach, this would allow wind turbines to work and for the small rover would mean it wont disconnect when you press P, because for some reason you forgot the golden rule of SE, which as everyone knows is "DONT PRESS P", lol Good luck bud
With as tall as you're getting I would highly suggest either widening the wheelbase to at least the number of block height Or gyro, the absolute hell out of the rover.
Found out your channel looking for content to watch when i can not play the game. Lol. Awesome. Enjoying since first episode of the series. Just a heads up for pistons. Kind of cheese. But since you arent lactose intolerant, there are a mod of 1x5 piston. It is a little higher and goes to 35 meters. Help a lot for not having dozens of pistons for one purpose. Cheers. Keep it coming.
I kinda want to see a bunch of rockets on the back of the rover for when you need to get up a hill. It'll be reckless and probably not work, but it'll be funny.
you can turn off used for parking on the mag plate and any future connectors and gear and they wont lock/unlock when you hit p also large grid wheels dont have much power to them i recommend a thruster or 2 and could prob just do a small hydro thruster to help you up hills my 1.5k hours in se tells me wheels need a overhaul again have needed it for a while
![Megan Thee Stallion - Bigger In Texas [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QxTkZTLWdo4/mqdefault.jpg)
To prevent the rover from unlocking: Disable "used for parking" on the mag plate. Same for a connector.
Or use the Splitsie-method: NEVER PRESS P! Instead, drag the cockpit onto your bar for a "park" button.
yes
@@tlpthx not "park." Instead, use "Handbrake on/off"
For the solar array, you don't have to use a script, Custom Turret Controllers have a setting to control a solar array.
To make the rover go up hills better you
Could put some atmo thrusters on the back
I use this trick on one of my rovers, 4 large atmosphere thrusters keep it moving😂
i wanted to say Hydro. they are stronger an and he now has hydrogen

If the rover gets too heavy, you can name it cape Town and use it as a port.
This got me 😂

Listen to Splitsie! "Never use P to park!" Always use the Handbrake command in your control stations G-menu!
5:02 episode 2 of reminding you that the Custom Turret Controller can point at the sun if you want that
2:23 yes there is, it's part of one of the decorative dlcs, it the round vent block, there is half block size and full block size.

Love the progress on the rover! Might get me making one here soon.
Last name suggestion: The Kali Ma
The drills going through the floor remind me of the a man ripping out another man's heart with their bare hands.
Kali ma!
For the Industrial Theme you could go for a reverse slope "Bridge" at the front and make it look like a truck and even add a Trailer with the rotors for that Industrial Theme. Also could repaint with yellow or orange and use the rusty/warning theme to further it even more.
I suggest the Never-ending-checklist or Nec for short
Built a miner rover somewhat like yours and yeah it was hard to get that sucker moving once it was full. Stole and idea from Splitise and got it moving by adding a few large atmo's to the back of the rover and controlled them using thrust over ride.
Generally a very good way to reduce a rover's weight, especially when mounted on rotors to always point up, another good option is the Hydrogen Zepelin mod.
For small rover. Large ore detector on rotor as a rear appendage. Connector drop down on bottom of the large rover for small rover, have a kind of garage/dock
About the modules:
Power Efficiency: Just plain less energy requirement. never not worth it to put them down if not interested in the other ones.
Module-power usage in kW (assember as an example)
0-560
1-374
2-250
3-167
4-112
Speed module: In the end acts as if you build another machine of that kind. It increases the power requirements just as much, but can be much cheaper than adding another big thing like a refinery. Also scales the other modules, e.g. a refinery with a speed module, two yiel modules and a power efficiency modules is as efficient and as fast as two refineries with two yield and a power efficiency module each.
Yield Module: only for the refinery, gain more stuff for the same input. 1 module ~20% more, 2 give 41% more, 3 give 168% and all 4 modules result in an extra 100%
Also, the refinery has 8 upgrade slots and the assembler has 8 upgrade slots as well, a module can cover 2 slots each. if you take a look at the conveyor ports on the long sides of an assembler, you can see that it has an upgrade slot as well. So if you build them standing upright, you can put modules on all 4 long sides.
>1 module ~20% more, 2 give 41% more, 3 give 168% and all 4 modules result in an extra 100%
Did you perhaps add an extra 1 to the 3 module amount? XP
168% for 3 upgrades? that's a steal!
You don’t need to lighten the base, put a couple of atmospheric thrusters on the back and you will make it up any hill 😝 I used some nice flat curved ones, can’t remember if they are from a mod or dlc.
I’m also carrying over a mil of each ore plus every component I could ever need
Adding forward atmosphere thrusters should help with the speed and weight reduction, I would suggest maybe adding gyroscopes to help with terrain so you can help keep the wheels grounded or just better control
For parking instead of using P I suggest putting hand bake on your taskbar.
It's an option off of the cockpit/command seat icon.
What would really revolutionary Space Engineers playthrough would be one where you strap just some Thruster onto your rover and just fly with that rover from one thing to another! 😉🤪
A good QoL could be the stone incinerator, it basically chews through stone and only gives a tiny amount of resources back
If you ever need extra drilling depth, replacing the armored conveyors that go to the drilling pistons with an extended piston will offer an additional legth. Just set this piston in reverse of the other ones, as in contract to lower the drills, extend to raise.
On the weight there is little to do without redesigning the rover so it can fit more wheels. Adding more refineries and o2h2 gens would help to not idle/afk as much. Ice weights a ton, but unless you have the heavy h2 mod, hidrogen does not have weight, you just carry the (very explosive) tanks. Take note of power consumption though.
The alternative to a redesign is to add a trailer and conveyor it so it carries part of the load. Many item sorting scripts like Izzie's can 'balance' the loads trough containers. The problem of trailers in this scale, is that the 'truck' part must have enough torque to move the thing, because the wheels, thrusters etc, cannot be directly controlled from cockpits, and using overrides will cause explosions, crashes, and sacrifices to klang. Also note that all large grid wheels have the same max torque, independent of their size.... One would expect the larger ones to have more, but no, the advantage is clearance from the floor. But its not the end of the world if its not enough power, there is a subgrid control script that allows controling the wheels from cockpits. I do suggest setting speed limits on the trailer wheels though so the trailer does not push the truck, that will go bad.
Warning, it'll be very tempting to keep adding trailers and make a land train.
Warning 2: you will need a scout vehicle to plan how to traverse mountainous terrain, with trailers you will limit your turning radious.
Reformatting the small rover to be a quick agile flyer or hover vehicle for scouting and finding deposits would be great! go full ship of thesues and retrofit it entirely
2:29 they did indeed add a Full Block Air Vent to vanilla a while back
For the mag pad, you can uncheck "use for docking" or whatever it is.
The small rover, Make an elevator platform off the back so you can potentially use it. Or just make it look useful
Cummingtonite, had me 😂. I'm so happy with that edit ❤
I was not ready for the best friends song. Also the hard cut at 10:39 "I'm Thirsty!" HAHAHA well done Mushroom man
call the mcv the "Fit Fore Purpose" also throw some thrusters on the thing
omg those opening credits were incredible
Add your cockpit from the G menu to your hot bar and select "parking" you can then press the corresponding button to park your rover. This does not effect any connectors or magplates.
You can use the small one as a scout vehicle to see if things are safe for The Big Rig to come closer.
the mobile rover, maybe have a magnet or landing gear at the under back for storage. is there a flexible storage connector to store stuff on a trailor maybe?
Rovers are sensitive to weight distribution so you need extra tires where the weight is, as well as making sure all the weight is lower. Because if you don't then you'll tip sooner rather then later. Mabey a reflection onto the other side so you get another set of refineries and o2 ,then add some more cargo in the back, add some sorters to push all the weight to the back on a bunch of tires like tank tracks and go from there. Just passing thoughts kind of wanna make one in creative. got an interesting idea, The All Mighty Clang will be angry with me for this. but if it works I will die happy.
If you press escape bring up the menu while right click mining, it'll keep it on when you unpause. This only works in single player though where the game actually pauses. Otherwise it just stops when you stop clicking.
on your cockpit you need to add handbrake on/off, acessed via dragging the controllblock to the hotbar
conveyer air vents are now vanilla but i think its DLC.
oh my comment is back
OMG 1:08... i was thinking of that as soon as he said it LMAO
you can change the maglock in the settings for "use for parking" to off
you can use a turret-controller for the solar-array and set it to allways face sun
you can use a turret-controller for the crane aswell
also your stack of cargo will make it very top heavy and prone to tip, id built as much of it into the floor and also through my experience, when those cargo get full, and i mean just the ore, your rover will struggle with the smallest amount of incline
So my suggestion for the MCV would be the "Greeble Beatle".
To make it quicker to be able to move you could add speed up and down for the pistons on the panel since you have 2 extra buttons.
really enjoying the series, please keep it going!! :)
I'd argue that a refinery isn't done until it's full of either yield or speed modules; meaning power efficiency modules slow them down by eating mod space.
On the drill a lil glitch u can do is right click in hold then press I to go to inventory in it should keep drilling with right click with out u holding it any more in to stop it just right click again
Leaving the simulation on overnight would be a great way to reduce weight (might want to turn off the hunger mod so you don't starve to death multiple times), but that's the easy way out. Real estate might be an issue later, so you could solve it early by adding more space and as many wheels as you can in the new space to help move the base up hills. It doesn't have to be fast, that's what the scout is for. That being said, it would probably be smart to move the survival kit and health station onto the main base to reduce weight on the scout, the scout should probably only need a small amount of storage, a few batteries and the ore detector. Power generation on the scout should be unnecessary if you can connect it to the scout to charge it.
I've simply stoppe using P for park, and I put the plates or connectors on the hotbar themselves.
I lost it on the blurred out "silicone" LMAO 😂
You can make a docking area, and have small grid "tool ships" for mining, grinding, fighting, etc... just atmosphere engines only and you can cut weight off by not needing a whole mining arm
Vanilla solar tracking =
Turret controller + hinge + rotor + camera
Here is a challenge, automated things with event controllers.
Use the small rover as a scout Vtol and part it on top of the industrial area.
I like to add forward thrusters for massive rovers just in case I take on to much weight.
you've mentions splitsy in some of your videos and now youve got me hooked on two space engineer channels
When it comes to base even mobile, you gotta put up defenses on your rover base to defend against enemies from space. Also, you could have put a hangar for your rover and possibly other vehicles for mobile base. You should put a solar panel roof and/or wind turbine to get more energy where you should put them 🤔 both letf and right sides front. Hope these are good suggestions for your rover base.
Right under the /cd xray command there was /cd keybind.
Sometimes I am capable of reading basic English
@@LargelyUnemployed Same, man.
I'm a fan of cartoon solutions, have you tried strapping some rockets to the back to make it go up hills
Fun fact! There is now a variant of the standard vent that does the same thing as the conveyor air vent in the vanilla game!
Tiny rover as a shuttlecraft-esque? Drive and dock with stations on the ground with some cargo space for selling things
Also I'm slightly disappointed you didn't call the second to do list: "Two do" ):
A mining tip atleast on console is go into the inventory holding the mining button of your choice then exit the drills will stay on
Name suggestion: Caseoh
Cause its eating the planets, just like Caseoh.
For silver and gold, you could have had pictures of John Silver (from Treasure Planet) and Goldfinger respectively. As for the picture of Silicon, I think you'd have been safer with a picture of a silicon wafer lol
Edit: I know it annoys you, but it is not uncommon for eight-wheeled vehicles to have all-wheel steering. This is especially true on military armored and utility vehicles, where maximum mobility and stability are paramount.
Edit 2: A decent way of "reducing" the weight of your rover is to spread it out more. More wheels, a longer frame (can be articulated if need be), and a wider wheelbase will do you a lot of good in this instance.
Control Seat -> Handbrake -> toggle on/off
parked vehicles will not move from where they're stationed, whether that be on a ship (gravity generator needed when in space), or on say a giant land tank *v*
I am way behind so maybe it has been done already, but you could add a camera to the underside by the button so you can line up with your target before drilling
answering one of the last questions to comment section, you dont make the rover lighter, make wheels bigger (bigger suspension parts can have more power directed to them(bigger=better(just like americans think the world works)))
For you smaller vechile you could put drills on it for smaller excavations or bolder mineing. Or you could put some grinders on it and use it that way. I was thinking you could put some atmospheric thrusters on it for movement, but I'm not sure if that would be against the spirit of the challenge or not.
The "oop sorry" when you ran into the To Done list got me cracking up!
Having a platform for the small rover that you can lower and raise would be better than the crane.
you should try to make carriages connected to the rover that could help with the weight
might want to add a thruster in the back to push your self foreword, the heavier you get the harder its going to get to move up hills try one thruster at a time until you feal its moving a little easier, ALSO!!!!!! as for power place a landing gear with a few blocks on it a rotter extending out with more block that is the grid with the landing gear on the end of it place a turbine on it just one you can use that to give you power it will make your rover seam its a static grid. set it to manual lock so you wont jam it up. that way your not using all your ice at one time to run the engines while your not moving. my pc still in the shop so i cant make any video for a while, enjoying yours for the mean time.
In large grid, one O2H2 gen makes enough for one H2 Engine. I believe that a small hydrogen thruster also consumes the same amount of hydrogen as an engine, but I could very well be wrong on that.
After the boom arm loading the mini rover needs a rename. DAS Rover. Dinghy of Adequate Size. Why? Dinghy jokes.
I think it would be cool and helpful if you made some beacons that turned on and flashed while the drill arm is dropped
Name for the big guy: the Dungbeetle, because it carries all your shit
MCV name sugustion! Call it the M.I.N.E. (Mineing, Industry, Nuisance, Entropy)
Get that tattooed on my head
the rover should be called "The Oresome"
Stink bug would be a good name 🤣
For as top heavy as you are some outriggers on hinges might be good ending on wheels so you dont tip over
I second The Scarab for the name
Love the space engineers vids man 🫡
Wheel setup for the large rover
Friction=100%
Power=100%
Strength=15%
Speed=150
Front pair turn 25
next pair back turn 20
Height offset=max
Put a mag plate on the under side of the rover (do this with the little rover aswell), lower the height offset and the mag plate can attach, this would allow wind turbines to work and for the small rover would mean it wont disconnect when you press P, because for some reason you forgot the golden rule of SE, which as everyone knows is "DONT PRESS P", lol
Good luck bud
Excactly as I remember that Yogscast song going.
With as tall as you're getting I would highly suggest either widening the wheelbase to at least the number of block height
Or gyro, the absolute hell out of the rover.
I think it would be neat to name it the bbz work in progress, or the wip.
Found out your channel looking for content to watch when i can not play the game. Lol. Awesome. Enjoying since first episode of the series. Just a heads up for pistons. Kind of cheese. But since you arent lactose intolerant, there are a mod of 1x5 piston. It is a little higher and goes to 35 meters. Help a lot for not having dozens of pistons for one purpose. Cheers. Keep it coming.
The irony here is that I am incredibly lactose intolerant
I kinda want to see a bunch of rockets on the back of the rover for when you need to get up a hill. It'll be reckless and probably not work, but it'll be funny.
Execllent epp as always LU and magic.
How about some thrusters ? Crazy idea but fun!
Id love to see the cocpit ground to be glass so you can see under
make the small one into a grinder rover for scrapping
Name suggestion: The Comfy Sock
you can turn off used for parking on the mag plate and any future connectors and gear and they wont lock/unlock when you hit p also large grid wheels dont have much power to them i recommend a thruster or 2 and could prob just do a small hydro thruster to help you up hills my 1.5k hours in se tells me wheels need a overhaul again have needed it for a while
Thrusters my man, see a hill need a push activate overdrive
