Description
Purpose
The Vicuna is a way to move a Large grid ore detector without having to build a large grid rover, in order to find deeper ore, such as Cobalt. This is the first ISL design that uses a sub-grid, and therefore requires some additional assembly.

Features
Advanced Rotor for attaching a large grid rotor head & Ore Detector

Power:
1 large Battery
1 Hydrogen Engine
2 O2/H2 Generators

Movement & Control:
6 wheels - 5x5
1 Cockpit
1 Remote Control
1 Gyroscope

Cargo Space
1 Connector - not intended to carry cargo

Miscellaneous:
1 Large Grid Ore Detector - on sub-grid

To build the detector once the vehicle has been printed, remove the rotor head from the advanced rotor and drop a large grid version on top of it. Then go into the cockpit and "Attach" the new Large grid head (toolbar 2, button 4). If the rotor head is not aligned, take rotor lock off (toolbar 2, button 3), let it turn until it aligns, then lock it again. The Rotor should already have limits and speed set, if the rotor does not re-align when you unlock it, go into the terminal and set a velocity & limit. Now you can place and build the large grid ore detector on top of the rotor head.

All Programmable blocks are turned off in this blueprint.

This vehicle has an empty mass of 15216 kg.

All ships in this set have a rear mounted Merge block and can be printed using a welder wall with one (large grid) piston.

There are ways to make it easier, have a look at TyDale's video about it:

Having some trouble dropping a large grid on it

Edit: Figured it out, just turning off the wheel strength

So... how am I supposed to get it connected to a connector? a floor of half-plates are too low, and full plates are too high.

Do I just hold the X key till the connectors meet?

Ok, well I did do some reorganizing of the interior a while back, so I'll go back and check the piping, thanks

This one also has an issue with the cockpit not being piped up for air. Messing with the conveyor coming from the front of the Hydrogen engine was enough to fix it.

Spite! You've gone and done it again! This is brilliant! :D Been loving the utility ship redesigns lately, now I have to get one of these made. Thanks a bunch for the awesome creations. :D
