I have a dream. I dream that one day, I'll be so good at design that I can design something as good as that. My goodness, it's fantastically functional and absolutely gorgeous!
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!
Thanks, glad you appreciate the details. :D
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.
IT'S AWESOME! The lot of details and functions it has, really makes me want to get in it in real life!
That would be pretty sweet. :D
This is the most incredible vehicle I have seen in 1500+ hours of gameplay! Fantastic build, fantastic flex video. The attention to detail has me hooked... Saving this one in the blueprints list *forever*!
Thanks, glad you like it! I've always enjoyed lining up all the little details. That's what really makes a build feel finished to me.
Thanks for sharing this and showing off some of the build on the server can’t wait to get back to building with you guys. Definitely one of the best servers I’ve ever played on.
Looking forward to it for sure. Hopefully soon, but whenever it's good for you.
"Its not very wide, but it's very long......" Dude.😂
Long and maneuverable... Hahhaha
A very well designed vehicle, I quite like it!
Thanks! Glad you like it and hope it inspires some similar builds.
I can't believe all the Quality of Life things you managed to include in this rover! I only just now got into this game (at 53 years old) and I'm still building BRICKS! LOL This is amazing! Grab a personal inventory of ice before taking off for the asteroids and come back with some gold, silver and uranium, maybe! I love this awesome SE-RV!
Thanks! Space Engineers is for everyone, you're in good company. Also, bricks are the most efficient shape, no shame in building them. :D
This is so cool! The attention to detail and the sheer usability of this rover is incredible! Absolutely amazing work!
Thanks, I do hope it gets some use! I tried to make it easy to print. If nothing else, I hope some of the features can inspire similar designs. :D
Wow, i like small details in this rover and safety measure to accidently dont broke something =)
Thanks, glad you like it. I've used it a few times on servers now, always satisfying to roll around in.
This has to be one of the coolest small rovers in space engineers woow. Everything from the aesthetic to the functionality is so awesome
Thanks! It's one of my favorite builds.
There is quite a nice plugin that allows projectors to project a full blueprint including sub grids.
Ok that's a pretty badass rover!
Thanks XD, it's pretty fun to drive around too.
This is a really well thought out rover. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, hope it inspires some ideas. :)
Brilliant design! Well done.
Thanks, lots of thought put into it. When the new AI patch drops you should try out SE again. You'll have so many minions to play with.
@@ShiftyshadowTV I do love minions. Will do!
TERRA = EARTH
Yup. That too.
I literally just thought about the kneeling function and how to do it with one of my rovers. Your vid popped up, with a workshop link. Suwheet!
Hope it helps! I've been adding that feature to all of my larger rovers. Feels good.
@@ShiftyshadowTV it does, but my caveman brain still seems to have an issue. XD
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.
@@ShiftyshadowTV ok, so I was doing my usual of overthinking it again. thanks!
That is an absolutely amazing design.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it, and hopefully I can get to building more soon.
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.
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): kzhead.info/sun/a9GYZ8ajaqCVlY0/bejne.html
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.
Thanks, I always try to make things as satisfying to use as possible. The more time I put into working things out initially the less I have to spend later. Everyone does it a little differently, but making uniform hotbars across your grids is always a good idea.
If you get the mood to decide to update such a nice multi-rover into all the new stuff, it will definitely result in a really cool new video, but a great revamped vehicle as well!
I actually have a version I updated with the automatons stuff. Repainted it for Pertam, added a few hydrogen thrusters (so I could drop myself in from space with it), and put signs everywhere. :D Mostly cosmetic stuff, but if I make some major updates I could make a video and post new blueprints.
Cool!!! Great rover!!! 👍🏻
Thanks, glad you like it.
Cool looking and engineered rover.
Thanks :)
Nice build. A lot of attention to mechanical/aesthetic detail. I've played around with. works great!
Thanks :D
This is absolutely amazing! Now I only wish that Space Engineers had some actual gameplay on planets, with exploration, survival, and all the other befitting elements.
Yeah, it would be nice if there was more to explore in the base game. At least the workshop is full of mods to spice things up. Adding in some abandoned wrecks and NPCs flying around goes a long way.
Nice build
Thanks :)
Reminds me of the clone turbo tank from Star Wars, honestly I wouldn’t mind having one of these since a mobile ground base sounds cool as hell
Huh, it kind of does, never noticed that. It's all the wheels.
You overengineered it to near perfection. Great work, design and look, this has earned you a new subscriber…
Thank you :) Glad you like it and looking forward to bringing you many more.
Pretty neat and clever design. The only thing I'd love to have is some more advanced suspension, but that would make a vehicle wider and needs external programable wheel controller .. which would break beauty of vanilla build. Something for something. Thanks for nice rover.
That would be cool, but like you said it wouldn't work in some vanilla settings and I print this up in vanilla/survival. Future builds maybe.
Nice vehicle i like the windows on the top, congratulation. Take my sub
Thanks :D That's one of my favorite features as well.
I love this vehicle and would love to use it in my playthrough! You my friend are a very good designer.
Thanks, I hope you do! Get some good use out of it.
@@ShiftyshadowTV Yesyes i may try to moonify it
Nice!
Thanks :D
That was good, tnx.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You could add something on the tool bar to invert controls when looking backwards for docking
True, normally I'd have a remote control for that. I decided not to do it for the small ships because I was keeping them as minimal.
Very cool Rover, I'm not a big fan of small grids, as it only takes one or two bullets to pop it like a Piñata, but if it was like a spawn pod I would love to use it
Yeah, I've been thinking about making a respawn mod with some nice small grids (with interiors). Might be kind of cool.
12:29 Would have been handy to turn that air vent upside down, to be able to see the pressurization more easily. Everything else seems to be really well thought out.
That's a good idea. I'll add that to the update list.
I could study this rover, with all its design and functionality, and really put effort into making something to be proud of….. and still only produce a brick on wheels.
Nothing wrong with that, the brick is the ultimate shape of efficiency in this game.
Amazing rover! It looks and functions like a real vehicle would, and I especially like the look of the main cockpit. The only thing I don't like is the ascent vehicle. It just looks and feels tacked on. The thrusters just... bug me. Otherwise it's a great design. Really well done!
Thanks. Yeah, both additional vehicles are extremely minimalistic. The ascent vehicle sacrificed basically all form for function.
Seems like "convenience" ist your favourite word, huh? Nice build btw.
Haha, maybe. That and "easy" XD. Thanks, glad ya liked it.
We need a crawling mod to move within a 1 SG block high
I think a two high crawl would be enough. The character model can fit in that. I wonder if there is a mod already that does something similar.
Good god if only I could make something that actually looks that good let alone functional
Things like this take a lot of time to get working and looking nice. It's a process filled with trial and error, testing, reworking, and rebuilding. It doesn't happen all at once, but if you keep trying and learning eventually you'll get there.
@@ShiftyshadowTV i hope so! lol
7 months too late but still. If you play without 3rd person, use projector to project alignment points visible from the cockpit :)
Interesting idea, that could be pretty useful.
Imagine if you made a mod that replaced the planetary and lunar drop pods with this.
For me that would be too easy of a start, I could see it working on some servers though. I usually like taking things slowly at first, savoring every upgrade.
I would like to make a set of starter pods that are small grid, and have minimal interior space, but I want to balance them more.
I mean you say the drone won’t work on a moon, but you could have an ion version. If you were real sneaky you could use a projector to switch between them and then weld up the one you need.
True, could definitely do that.
This thing surely took a while to design.
20ish hours from concept to complete. Maybe a bit more.
Is this a small grid or large grid. Nice built. Cheers from Canada, Quebec.
It's entirely small grid.
Any chance you could make a a tutorial on how to setup the suspension drop for entrance? I totally wanna steal that and put it on my large rovers
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.
Dude this was actually really fun to set up and figure out why it works thank you.
@@vacrawlers5436 It's a neat little solution. Slapped it together before event controllers were a thing. Not sure if they would make it easier, haven't tried them out for it.
11:19 Did he just bark at us?
Not sure what you're referring to. XD
WAIT!!! If you have 2 grids merged via merge blocks, you can print them both?????
Yup, they're one grid. Worth noting that if you have rotors, hinges, or pistons attaching those grids those blocks won't print properly. They will be missing half (either the head or body depending on which is printed first). Also piston heads and/or bodies may both print, but they won't be attached.
@@ShiftyshadowTV I was working on a mobile mining rig that had 20-something pistons and 10s of rotors/hinges. I've since abandoned the project because i can't print it in survival. The simple solution would've been to print each subgrid individually and add pistons/rotors/hinges where needed (which would be a nightmare to set up). But with mergeblocks i can print the whole piston array detached and attach them after. Your ideea basically saved my project. Thanks!
@@orlandolaurentiu731 Sounds cool. I hope it works out!
Is this on the work shop?
Yup. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2923100489
Do you have a battery variant?
The batteries are all vanilla, non-DLC.
@@ShiftyshadowTV I mean every vehicle from being able to completely rely on batteries. Like having the hydrogen ship as an ion thrusters.
@@jonathancole5179 Ah, I see. The hydrogen ship is the only one that cannot completely rely on batteries. I don't have an ion version of that because it would only work on moons. Wouldn't be hard to make though.
@@ShiftyshadowTV I would like one like that. The atmospheric one would be used for planets while the ion one would be used for places like the moon.
@@jonathancole5179 Added it to the additions and improvements list.
Nice build could I build this on console
Unfortunately I don't think I've uploaded this to Mod.io, but you could build it if I did. There are no incompatibilities.
Merry Christmas thanks for your reply
Merry Christmas
If Darth Vader drove a Winnebago...
Hahaha, flip the colors from black on white to red on black. Would be fitting.
Anti capac devices. Nice.
Hahaha, indeed.
A sun what now?
I ain't watching allat
Is it Published!!🙏🏻
On Steam, yes. Link in the description.
