Description
The Earnest is a simple Heavy Goods Vehicle designed to transport cargo across the surface of celestial bodies relatively cheaply. The vehicle utilises the detachable SIM Standard Cargo Pod for ease of loading and sorting. When loading and unloading, the pod can be easily swapped out by the Eager Cargo Drone and stacked ready for transport by other means.

As a civilian vehicle, Earnest is not armed or armoured and should be escorted through hostile territory.


Instructions
Disconnect the Cargo Pod by switching the Merge blocks on the pod using the lower button on the pod or Toolbar 2
When carrying heavy loads, make sure that the Eager Cargo Drone has connected to the upper merges before disconnecting the lower merges.
Disable rear steering (Toolbar 7) when travelling at high speed, switch it back on for parking and manoeuvring.
When driving on moons, use the terminal screen to decrease the power and max speed of the wheels group by two thirds.
If you roll, use gyro override (Toolbar 6) to put the truck back on it's wheels.
Stiffen the suspension (Toolbar 8) by increasing it's strength when under load and/or using ramps.

@Tablenack none directly on the workshop. You would would have to paste this into a single player. Then separate and make a local print of the cargo container.

the cargo do you have a bp for it ?

The Cargo Container is in this one included.
Turn the MergeBlocks off ans make your own.

Can you PLEASE make a seperate blueprint for the Cargo pod? You have all of these ships and transports that use it, but there is no actual BP for the pods themselves

Any idea why the front left wheel cant be placed? I even hang it below a flying platform 20m in air or put it on pistons free from the ground. Only IG reaction "Wheel cant be placed". The others spawn ok.

Its flipped and it seems that it can't flip back over, even with gyro override

@herorichard1123 - No way to fix, it's a game limitation that Keen should really do something about. This build should be fine though.

i cant get things that have multiple grids to work due to the projector having a fit and only letting me use the larger one. is there a way to fix that
