I have had some luck with the scraping but the bugs are not done with me yet.

​@@ssislo84Check the starter rover wheel settings (if that was one of your bugs), also the hydrogen tank has a strange collision with the front right, causes phantom forces, may pay to move the tank. I really enjoyed the scrapyard experience on the planet, but I'm not pursuing much further into space, rather will transition back to the far from home style vanilla encounters for my next interplanetary journey, partly due the inspiration you and others have given playing FFF, but also the scrapyard space resource balance isn't quite right. I'm not trying to tell you how to suck eggs and promise I won't annoy you beyond this comment with 'I did it this way so you should too', very much want to see you do scrapyard in your style, just something to consider for your upcoming 25k trip.

I switched out the Improvised Engineering mod for the Improvised Experimentation mod. It is the more up to date version of the mod and has less bugs. To add the planet as a spawn location I made a copy of Splitsie's scrapyard spawn rover mod then added the planet to the RespawnShips.sbc file.

@@ssislo84 thanks for the reply

Getting that last section in place took a few tries. I think it is just a random chance that it didn't explode things as on other attempts. I have just let the game run in the background a little between episodes to help with the travel times.

I may have done longer but that does not keep it form being a long pipeline.

That's it I rolling back the save just so I can put the cargo container in upside down.

It definitely can be a little tricky to get set up. Merge blocks help to keep things aligned and let the projector work but it can be a pain to get them to work right.

We decided that the money saved by not searching everyone's packs for food was more than we could get from trying to sell in transit meals. BYOD.

That is just youtube being greedy. There are ways to keep from seeing those adds, a little research may be helpful.

@@ssislo84 Ow I'm add blocked, but they come up with new greed tack ticks to often. I apologise for the negative moaning.

I have tried that mod and it turned the top section of the elevator into a dynamic grid. It did not let go and fall but it did cause it to jiggle. The rails are being held together with just connectors and anything that may turn grids dynamic may lead to disaster. P.S. Be careful with the "p" key when disconnecting form the elevator bad things can happen.

@@ssislo84 Good ole P, I do wish Keen had put the connector use for parking default as off, rather than on.

That is the kind of error you get when you hire just one engineer to design and build your major construction project. I will probably just leave it.

If you have the free time. Also keep in mind that it can take a lot of time to build a channel and a little persistence may pay off.

why not, go for it

It is 59524 kg. empty. Full of iron ingots, It is 313,235 kg. Energy usage is at 41% at hover when full with about 34 min of run time. It is still capable of lifting up, but slowly, when full. All this is with 83% thruster effectiveness do to altitude.

I knew it was on the way down. I saw that the chutes were open so figured it could take care of its self for a little while.

Useful big wheels by Sadragos. It makes the 5x5 wheels have 5x the friction and 3x the power. The other wheel sizes are also boosted except the 1x1 wheels

@@ssislo84 Why not force the game to make them bigger though without the use of a mod I understand that you enjoy the mod because of the settings that it adds the better friction and stuff but that would also translate over to the large grid wheels which would even further benefit you with the mod on correct? Either way in my humble opinion large grid wheels on a small grid suspension and on a small grid vehicle just performs so well. And with the mod yes your wheels will definitely benefit from it lol I actually would like to see at least a second version in your next video where you've taken the same blueprint and forced large grid wheels on the small grid suspension.

@@brandonfrye1834 I believe I see the problem now. That is a large grid rover, with a large grid large cargo container, and large grid suspension. I needed it to move a full 421,000 L of iron ingots from the mine to he production area. Even with the thruster for boost I needed the extra power of the mod to get the thing to get up the hills between the mine and production.

"Big Foot 3.0 2024". Look for that on the steam workshop blueprint

@@ssislo84 I should look into that. I built a tank with the Aryx 600mm turret and Hydra missile battery (with a few smaller cannons to deal with drones and such), and discovered the 5x5 large grid wheels are nowhere near as powerful as one would expect 6 wheels that monstrously huge to be.

Setting it to 99 would cause it to thrust forward then thrust backward to try to maintain speed. Once it gets to max speed it will not thrust as much.

To late, and yes it can get confusing.

@@ssislo84 Maybe next time. ;-) Keep up the good work. Love that series.

If OSHA had a look around the place that seating arrangement would be the least of there concerns.

Please elaborate further

@@haxmax213 Support vehicles like transports, Towing vehicles, Resource extractors, Storage vehicles. All of the background vehicles that would support a civilization but aren't the face of it (such as the warships, cruise ships, or other public facing vessels)

The Close to Home scenario is by Wellington 6012 and is available on the steam workshop.

The nicest thing about it is that it works. While it is a little clumsy, it shows that an automatic delivery/ferry between two points is possible with just the vanilla AI blocks and event controllers.

Keep in mind the searchlight is a camera also, if you put a searchlight on top you would have all the camera angles you need. In one of my videos (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWS6lolmbLmBhNk) I set up a drone to return on damage. This drone does have an event controller that may be repurposed to do it. I think there is a limit to how far it can find you from and its navigation is not the best, but for a "around the house" delivery drone it may work.

In this video it is empty so it is hard to see it in action, but once loaded up you can see it is really needed to get up some of the hills that were on my delivery route. The event controllers have opened up a lot of possibilities that were previously left to scripts.

@@ssislo84 I can imagine. I've been using a lot of rovers in Ares at war lately and having like a large full of compressed ore is a major challenge at times :P

Thanks. It is a function over form build.
