Hi, Room 3 here. The poster above the bed is the famous 'I think' scribble that Charles Darwin made in his note book, whilst contemplating evolution. This idea was indeed seen as inappropriate at the time. @bloodkiss4491 and I worked together closely on this project. Most elements on the rover have seen edits by both of us, but at times we focussed on specific parts individually. The 48 wheel active suspension and the unfolding solar array are elements that were mostly made by me.
All great, but the Oracle is a 10/10. The only issue I had with it was the jump from the front vehicle to the trailer. But general form and function is really, really nice! Will absolutely influence how I go about things.
I love building big small-grid ships but I struggle with rovers. I'm trying to set up a proper survival playthrough where rovers will be necessary so seeing these for reference will be great.
@@danielhomant2832 Just single player, for now. It turns out Splitsie had basically the same idea at the same time and just uploaded some super good videos. I'm not skilled enough to create my own mods, but he is. Check it out. He'll be actually properly restricting what he can't build whereas I'll mostly just be pretending and honor system'ing.
Man do I wish small grid blocks costed less pcu so they were more viable in official. My group on NA1 decided to do a unique playthrough. Starting on pertam making it the hardest to fly we made the rule that large grids HAD to be rovers. And only small grid flying vehicles. With the eventual goal of transporting our massive faction rover to space using small grid ships. We drove around the entire globe while mining and everything as we went. It was probably the most fun I've had in SE. Really cool to be based on a moving large vehicle with tons of ships flowing in and out, upgrading the rover as we went. Crane arm moving ships on the landing area and hangars. All while traversing the dangerous pertam landscape in a 200000 pcu rover. We had to build a bridge across a 2km chasm to complete our trip
@more_shifty well at least 4 of the group at that time had alternate accounts to dump pcu on. That group is for NA 1 official so pcu limits are always an obstacle. That was 2 years ago but I've more recently gotten an alternate myself. Makes playing official alot more fun as you can keep you infrastructure on one account then use the other to build fun ships and go wild. You could write a history book with what's happened on NA1. That little small grid excursion we did was on NA10 just so it was a fresh start where none of us had any preexisting stuff.
Dang, I missed out on this one. I already have several small grid vehicles, airtight interiors with merge doors, trailers, and other such a goodies. Could have entered my functional excavator with a custom cabin maybe.
@@more_shifty They all evolve over time or get adaptations. Like my cargo truck started with 4 large cargo, 2 large hydrogen, 6 batteries, 2 O2 gens and 3 oxygen tanks. 3 Gatling turrets. Chunky truck was mainly just a mass transport vehicle. I originally made it shortly after planets came out. It gets updated as new features get added and now it has hydrogen engines and a survival kit. I recently made an IFV version with a completely redesigned interior. The core of 4 cargo and 2 hydrogen was removed and turned into an airtight crew cabin with controls for the custom turrets it mounts. I've built various kinds fron gatlings to artillery depending on requirements. Also added a trailer hitch a while back for pulling various trailers I've been building. Probably my biggest small grid is an excavator, based on real world ones. It is fully functional, but still in progress since it's massive cargo capacity of 5 large and 9 medium cargo gives the suspension trouble. It has a custom operator cabin that is airtight. It is fully functional with a mining boom that extends over 30 meters. All my vehicles are designed for hardcore survival type use, meaning they can be operated without jetpack, nor third person, and frequently have extensive power and life support functions. My most complex build is a big rig style truck that pulls two trailers, though only the truck has an airtight cabin interior. It is a prospecting and mining vehicle that carries a large grid ore detector on the front trailer and when a deposit is found, the trailers unhook and connect back to back, deploying solar, cargo, and lifting a self assembling drill rig that allows it to reach any depth as long as it has the parts. Originally designed before hinges with a different type of drill, instead carrying a deployable climbing type driller. It is undergoing a complete redesign to take advantage of the benefits of hinges and the smaller hitboxes. None of them are fancy or edgy, heh, just basic industrial vehicles that have served me well, some for years of gameplay. I'll get around to posting them to the workshop eventually.
Could be, I'm unfamiliar with the scripts that the creator used. Generally when something is going wrong with these walkthroughs it's because I'm doing something wrong though.
Link to a Steam Collection of all the rovers is in the description. If any are not showing up in the collection it's because the creator removed or hid it on the workshop.
Great video and some really cool rovers. Do you have a link to the herbert rover as it isnt in the collection and I wanted to see how the piston bumper works because I can't find any info online. Or, do you know of any other blueprints that could show me how the piston bumper works please?
If it's not in the collection then it's not publicly published. I don't know of any other builds (off the top of my head) that use a piston bumper, but I can explain how it works: The pistons just hold the bumper, they don't move. Then, because the bumper is a subgrid your main grid won't get slowed down when you hit a tree. You can get the same effect with hinges or rotors as well. Even using forwards facing wheels (on suspensions) will work, as technically they are also subgrids.
@@more_shifty thank you. They don't need to be extended or anything to provide a bit of suspension travel? I can just place them, leave everything default then put my bumper right on them?
It uses scripts to control the wheels as they are on subgrids. If you have scripts turned off then it won't drive. Otherwise you should be able to drive it from one of the main chairs in the bridge. There should be some programmable bocks on the hotbar, try clicking them, one locks the wheels if I remember correctly.
Yup, pretty much what B. S. said. You have the timer block turn the survival kit on and "start" itself in a loop. Then you can turn off the survival kit and spawn elsewhere if you have auto-respawn enabled. After a short bit the timer will turn the survival kit back on so you can get back.
@@more_shifty Makes since. I don't see the appeal of auto-respawn. I personally don't know of anybody that plays on a small enough scale where it makes since. The only thing I can think of is for PVP.
If you like sandbox games it's pretty good and the community is relatively nice. Like any game, I recommend getting it on sale. Steam has them pretty often if you play on PC (which I absolutely recommend for this game).
Gosh I love building on small grid, and builds like these just give me so many ideas.
Couldn't agree more. I made this video right after my TERRA showcase and I already had to go change some things. So many good ideas.

Ah, now I know. Glad you two could work together so much, it turned out amazing.
Nice Work Room 3 (*chuckling*). Nice suspension work and the design is awesome!
Its now my favorite rover (second only to the Keep by Captain Jack)
Damn here's me failing to make a good suspension for a small rover
1:55 "Ahh Perry the Platypus what a surprise, welcome... TO MY ROVERINATEOR!"
"Wait... what are you doing?"
"No don't touch that!"
Subgrid bumpers. Why didn't I think of that. Oh I know what I am incorporating on my future rovers.
Yeah, they work pretty well.
A wheelie is when the front tires are in the air, what you were doing with the first vehicle is called skating. Just a little FYI to help.
Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks.

That sounds like fun, good luck and I hope these are inspiring. :D
You doing a server or just single player? I got a few vehicles that may be useful, heh.

That sounds like a lot of fun, you must have had a large group to be able to spend 10 people's worth of PCU on the rover alone.

@@jayschmidt2196 Very cool. Careful you don't get banned though. The official servers (and most others) frown on alternate accounts.
The R3 room is for and from R3markable ^^ hope he is not angry now XD
AH! shoot, I figured it was his, but I didn't make the R3 --> R3markable connection. *facepalm*
The white one looks like a harvester, love these designs
gotta say making a good smoll grid is kinda hard. much respect, currently having a large grid drill platform on wheels
It's a lot of time and effort for sure.
SMALL GRIDS GONE WILD! my favorite kind of content!!!!!
Glad you enjoy it. :)
@@more_shifty 🙏Always!!
Beautiful work!
I just hopped onto the discord; I would love to build with you all!
Awesome, you're jumping in at a good time. Check the pinned message in "event_talk" for this month's prompt and I look forward see you there.
That Sand Shark is *screaming* Roberts Space Industries from front to back.
Ahhh, yeah. Never played Star Citizen, but looked it up and I can see it. For sure.
In case no one mentioned it the "We Brake for Nobody" is a Spaceballs reference.
I knew I'd seen it before somewhere. XD
@@more_shifty happy to be the random movie quote gal. Dad used to own a video store so I grew up on the classics and not so classics.
That van is soo cool
The fighter from the sand shark looks like a Cylon Raider.
31:06 the licencepate is taken from the LEGENDARY parody movie "Soaceballs"
I knew it was from something, couldn't remember what though. XD
Dang, I missed out on this one. I already have several small grid vehicles, airtight interiors with merge doors, trailers, and other such a goodies.
Could have entered my functional excavator with a custom cabin maybe.
Yup, I generally allow older builds as long as they are your own. New builds, or updated old ones, are encouraged though.

Black Rover.
Yo MR WHITE!
White Rover.
Dark gray rover.
Heavy metal rover.
Limousine rover.
For the Herbert, I believe that is a WASD converter probably for the subgrid trailer.
Could be, I'm unfamiliar with the scripts that the creator used. Generally when something is going wrong with these walkthroughs it's because I'm doing something wrong though.
it's Whip's Subgrid Wheel Control Script
Fuelling my love of motorhomes
i never realized there are small grid solar panels
Dang, they're pretty useful. I have a whole series on my other channel were I survived off of them the whole time.
Kinda want to make the sand shark a starting vehicle
My PC would crash every time I tried to land with one, I cannot even imagine what it would do to a server. Hahaha
How did they do those pilot and gunner chairs. I need this info
That image you didn’t recognize is Darwin’s original sketch of a tree of life
Ah yeah, makes sense.
It looks like the crestline entity from star trek
Can you post the steam links? Mammoth is a stupidly common name on the workshop and it does not help the search function is subpar.

@@more_shifty thanks
Remarkable has some r3markable builds
For sure, him and Bloodkiss always come through with something interesting when they participate.

That is correct, you don't need them extended, though you can if you want. It's the fact that they're a subgrid which makes it work.
i would be interested in sharing my space base "The Cube" but im pretty sure your PC wont be able to handle it XD
(plus its crashed on a planet, sooo yeah...
Unfortunate, but you're probably right about my PC. Hahaha
How do I control the Sand Shark? I can't even make it move.
It uses scripts to control the wheels as they are on subgrids. If you have scripts turned off then it won't drive. Otherwise you should be able to drive it from one of the main chairs in the bridge. There should be some programmable bocks on the hotbar, try clicking them, one locks the wheels if I remember correctly.
@@more_shifty Okay thank you.
what is the timer and survival kit trick?
I would imagine it disables it temporarily so you re-spawn elsewhere then turns it back on.
Yup, pretty much what B. S. said. You have the timer block turn the survival kit on and "start" itself in a loop.
Then you can turn off the survival kit and spawn elsewhere if you have auto-respawn enabled. After a short bit the timer will turn the survival kit back on so you can get back.
