Description
Thankyou for forgiving SAVTec's little S.H.A.R.T
We're not ashamed! Our trousers needed washing anyway!

All the usual quality from SAVTec
  • 100% mod-free
  • No Rotors, no scripts. Build uses 6 Pistons - they're extremly well tested & generally very safe
  • Nice neat control panel - everything named & grouped
  • Ideal first generation wheeled support vehicle for new planets
  • Suitable for use on planets with or without atmosphere
  • Perfect for new players. Just as useful for seasoned veterans

Following through from my F.A.R.T
With the relative success of my recent F.A.R.T Hydrogen Engined transport truck (found HERE...); and the bugs & imbalances being found with Hydrogen Engines, I pushed harder and ended up following through.
The result is a S.H.A.R.T, which as you might expect is a Small Hydrogen Auxiliary Refuelling Tanker

The S.H.A.R.T follows in the footsteps of the T.A.R.T in that it's powered entirely by batteries & the solar panel and does not have a Hydrogen Engine of its own.
This is so it's not sniffing its own gas, which would be counter productive for a Hydrogen tanker.

So you S.H.A.R.T'ed yourself then?
Basically yes... but not only myself... I S.H.A.R.T'ed the entire workshop!
Let it not be said that SAVTec does things by halves!

The S.H.A.R.T is a simple creature. It's powered by 6 small batteries & a solar panel and has a single Hydrogen Tank. It also carries its own O2 / H2 generator, which means it can refill itself anywhere there's a ready supply of ice; and makes it just as useful on planets without atmosphere.

Apart from that, I made some neato upgrades to the T.A.R.T and F.A.R.T not long ago which I've also included here. Namely...
  • Improvements to steering & suspension
  • Antenna & Remote Control + reversing Camera
  • Tail lights
  • Flashing belisha beacons
  • Convenient new button panels under the front wheel arches for raising & lowering the "lifting jacks"
  • Button panels on the sides to toggle "Stockpile on / off" for Hydrogen tanks.
  • Clean new paint job

Let me showww you the power of my... A.S.S, man!
With every S.H.A.R.T, SAVTec is now giving away a new A.S.S!
That's right! A.S.S, the Awesome Self-righting System, for when your S.H.A.R.T goes splat!

It's happened to everyone at some point... you loose control and your S.H.A.R.T just goes everywhere. It's ok, you can admit it. We're all friends here.
Did you know though that SAVTec S.H.A.R.T's are effortless to clean up thanks to my brand new A.S.S... or should I say *your* brand new A.S.S... because A.S.S is not for sharing - everyone should have their own personal A.S.S!

If your truck rolls & ends up on its side, just extend your A.S.S out of the appropriate side of the vehicle and it'll tip itself back onto its wheels! Awesome or what!

All the controls for your A.S.S are on hotbar #2.
Keys #5 & #6 extend / retract the left & right self-righting arms respectively
Additionally, the lifting jacks can now be operated either all at once or in pairs (left pair & right pair) for added safety & control when righting the truck. Key #1 operates all at once, #2 for the left pair, #3 for the right pair.

Since the S.H.A.R.T has a different centre of mass to the F.A.R.T & T.A.R.T, your A.S.S may sometimes not be enough to right the truck completely. To A.S.Sist it you can "let down the tyres" on one side by reducing suspension height until the truck flips back on its wheels.

But it's not green!
That's because it only carries Hydrogen & isn't actually Hydrogen powered.
Only builds with Hydrogen Engines will be green...
Though your S.H.A.R.T can be any colour you make it. Blood red perhaps... though that might be indicative of something & you should probably see your doctor about it!

How can so much gas fit into such a tiny engine anyway?!
CptSavarus be like: "It can't. This is how big a 16,000 Litre gas tank would really be..."
Gamers be like: "'Cos muh gameplay, that's how! Stop ruining muh gameplay with yer "realism"! Uuuuuugh!"
CptSavarus be like:

Now go my son, Paste your S.H.A.R.T everywhere!

Feedback
Comments / questions / suggestions / constructive criticism all very welcome.
I've even been known to do the odd request-build from time to time, so if you have an idea, drop me a line. If I like it I may build it.

lmfao love your acronyms

Really? Even now? That's brilliant to hear! They were designed to be balanced in survival but had no idea they still were!
I honestly thought that tractor was the weakest of the lot, so it's great to hear something positive about it!
Had a real hard time figuring out what the original version was supposed to be. Such a cool looking thing but so hard to work with!
You should check out Jeager-Gon's work. He's rebuilt most of the KSH cargo ships too - his versions are nicer looking than mine though I think....

Yeah EMGC is SUPER useful in survival. Even that tractor one is pretty damn nifty.
cptsavarus  [author] 12 Mar, 2019 @ 6:00pm 
I like that you like them. I hope you like that I like that you like them!
The EMGC stuff you mean? It's nice to hear that those are still being enjoyed. I must get back to that collection & finish it at some point. Maybe when my planet survival collection has everything it needs.
Zaithia 12 Mar, 2019 @ 5:20pm 
Yeah I like all your SavTech models and even a lot of your uh...the subsidiary ones.
cptsavarus  [author] 12 Mar, 2019 @ 4:48pm 
Hehe! Fair enough. It did seem a bit of a strange mixed message!
Thought for a minute there you were going to tell me something was horribly broken!
Phew! :steamhappy:

Thanks very much. Glad you like it!

Whoops...typo....I meant USEFUL
cptsavarus  [author] 12 Mar, 2019 @ 4:15pm 
@Zaithia... Why useless? Please explain.
Zaithia 12 Mar, 2019 @ 3:05pm 
Another awesome and useless build...thanks Capt. Savarus!!!
