Description

No mods, No DLC, no subgrids. <1000 PCU. Let's do this!

A retake on my previous ultralight rover. Built on the principle of no block unnecessary, this rover is equipped with:
Ore detector
2 Seats
Lights
Remote & Prog
Antenna
Hydro Engine & Tank for true planetary use.
Battery
O2/H2 Generator

It's basically "just" a rover, as they often are. This is just my attempt at a hydro powered, compact utility vehicle.
Dead simple controls, dead simple maintenance and assembly if you want to make one for yourself.

Update 1: Removed DAS, balanced wheels and steering. No scripts needed, but kept the PB/Remote for aesthetic reasons. If you want you can remove them safely as they are now redundant if you don't use scripts.
Update 2: Further adjusted wheel values and added a Gyro to help maintain orientation in high speed jumps.

Top speed on earthlike: 50m/s
For a more beefier version, check out the XL variant!

This build is totally rad, and inspired me to create my own series of ultralight rovers. Been revisiting this design while looking at the new parts in recent DLC to make it smaller.

Love this vehicle. I just used its blueprint to learn how to use blueprints in SE, and was so excited to take it out. Unfortunately, it feels like maybe the suspension needs modification or somesuch, because trying to steer with the mouse is barely responsive, and trying to use A and D results in massive flipping wipeouts at even 20 or so m/s on an Earthlike planet. I swear, I was barely turning at all...just a slight curve and I flipped on a fairly flat surface...just grass. I've flipped it 3 times now, and I just don't understand how SE suspensions work yet, so I don't know what to do to keep this from happening. Is there something I'm missing? Does the gyroscope need to be adjusted? Do those settings get lost in the blueprinting process and get set to defaults?

Anyway, great vehicle. If I can figure out this issue, I'm going to try the Heavy Nomad after this. That looks great too.

These look so cool! The succinctness and aesthetics combo makes my head explode. You've randomly inspired me to get on creating some neato' ground rovers again!

I've kept the suspension stiffer to avoid scraping the ground from jumps and whatnot with these being so fragile and all. Thanks for the kind words :)
