This is the old version of Fermac, for updated Fermac go here:


Survival Ready.
A simple fun car to drive around.
Equipped with Ore Detector, powered by two Hydrogen Engines.
Also has parachute hatch in case of emergency.

Land-based vehicles in the game are all kinda fragile, keep reasonable speed and try to avoid severe terrain.
Safe driving !

With T.N.N.S.F.'s highly unstable budget income, land vehicle development is unsurprisingly at the bottom of priority list.
Technically there was no "real" land vehicle being made by T.N.N.S.F.
The first and only line of land transport craft, Aonbarr, was actually still a hover craft powered by thrusters.
Aonbarr is no doubt a viable land transport for smooth terrain, but that is also its limit.

With the revenue generated by Aonbarr sell, the first ever car-like vessel is finally developed using the same hull of Aonbarr.
This craft further lowers the cost and has the ability to traverse through rougher uncharted lands.
Being incorporated into future standard vehicles for exploration fleet, it is named after the mythical watchdog—Fermac


One of the major reason I didn't build much cars was, of course, how unstable they were in Space Engineers.
But as wheels got (slightly) more stable than before, and the introduction of more survival elements, the cost of building a cheap craft to travel in the early game period becomes more important.

This is why Fermac was built and hydrogen engine was used, to be a real land vehicle that is cheap for early game.
I hope you like this craft and found it useful, even if it is not that useful, I'd imagine it's still fancy to look at.
I especially like how Hydrogen engine sits perfectly on the side of the hull, it is more vulnerable because it's exposed, but it looks really cool in my opinion.

One of the coolest rovers on the workshop to date.
