Thanks, it took a lot of planning and effort to make this come to life. It all started with a sketched concept, and the conveyor system worked out on graph paper. Everything else sorted into place slowly after. Keep building and you'll get there.

Built like a developer, with redundancies and continuity across all systems. Brings a tear to my eye , amazing build!

A very nice survival build, I love the immersive features! :) I'm thinking of some small upgrades: - you could add a Timer Block as a Remote Drone starter sequence (turn battery to recharge, start engines, etc.) with just one click; - I like to have 2 connectors on the same side, so it automatically alignes the rover / ship more precisely (since you have 2 attaching points instead of 1); - some pistons to lift up the rover in case a wheel pops is always a great emergency feature. Looking forward for your next builds and keep up the good work!

Thanks! I'll definitely add the lifting poisons, that's something I have on most rovers already. I'm also already planning some quality of life improvements to the drone control, I'll add startup timer simplification to the list. Not sure if I'll be able to fit another connector, but that would make lineup easier.

There is quite a nice plugin that allows projectors to project a full blueprint including sub grids.

Looking forward to it for sure. Hopefully soon, but whenever it's good for you.

I gotta say, it's a gorgeous build that really fits the SE aesthetic, but it's all the programmed features that really make this build special. so many thoughtful and convenient little things, all on dummy-simple buttons for ease of use, with fairly clear markings for ease of reference in most cases. just fantastic. I feel like a caveman still banging rocks and sticks together over on my game because I struggle to remember how to apply scripts properly. I will say its length worries me a bit for maneuverability on rough terrain, but I imagine its not really meant for that kind of exploratory driving, and that's what the sub-vehicles are for. other than that, I just want something on it for drilling, and its perfect.

@ShiftyshadowTV

Thanks, glad you like it! I've been using it on a survival server (on Pertam) and it feels pretty good to drive around most terrain. With the back and front wheels steering its turn radius isn't that bad and on hills there are some atmospheric thrusters which help climb without slowing. As you pointed out, sharp changes in terrain can be difficult, but only really at higher speeds. Bumpy terrain can sometimes be easier to drive on with this because it straddles the low parts. I originally was going to put a drill rig on the back, but decided to opt for the sub-vehicle parking. Certainly considered it though, something like I used here (only nicer looking): kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqGTmcSkY9HFkrg.html

This has to be one of the coolest small rovers in space engineers woow. Everything from the aesthetic to the functionality is so awesome

Great work once again Shifty! I really like how much thought you put into your builds! I tend to set tool bars up differently. My Nr.1 Toolbar is always to boot and shut down. I mainly want to be able to hit 1+2+3+... to boot up a vehicle and ...+3+2+1 to shut it down. Example: 1 = Batteries Recharge ON/OFF 2 = Thrusters ON/OFF 3 = Lights ON/OFF 4 = Connector Switchlock Every vehicle is a bit different. Using this method means I don't have to think about what keys to press. Go for a spin = 12345 Come back = 54321 Easy Even using Timer Blocks this way works brilliantly.

It's done with a set of three timer blocks in a single control group. The buttons and sensors that trigger the up and down simply "start" all timers in the control group. One timer makes the suspension rise. One makes them lower. And the third stops them both and toggles the power for them, so that only one of the rise/lower timers is on at a time.

Group all suspension blocks in your terminal. Place three timer blocks and group them in your terminal. Add buttons where you want them. Timer Block 1 (set to 1 second): - suspension group (decrease suspension) - Timer Block 1 (trigger now) Timer Block 2 (set to 1 second): - suspension group (increase suspension) - Timer Block 2 (trigger now) Timer Block 3 (set to 3 seconds): - Timer Block 1 (stop) - Timer Block 1 (toggle on/off) - Timer Block 2 (stop) - Timer Block 2 (toggle on/off) Set your buttons to "start" your timer block group. Make sure either Timer Block 1 or Timer Block 2 is OFF and the other is ON. That's it.
