Dust Ranger, Rover and Station set

Description
Hey, how u doing long time no see :D

New DLC and update, pretty nice. A lot of car parts, which to me r quite tasty XD. I do like the smaller cockpit. The old one has a lot of wasted space. But It seems that a lot of scripts don't recognize the new cockpit's control outputs. If there is a fix, I will update that in the future.


This build is mainly a test build for all the new stuff. This blueprint includes the rover, a garage and the fuel station. I will explain later. But if u only want the rover (and less dlcs), I've sent the rover saparatly:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2305468405


The rover is pretty average in my builds. Smallest 4 wheels thank to the new cockpit. It runs on fuel and batteries. The new planet has dust storm, this rover is fitted with features for that (i.e. high visibility LCD panels, bright beacon lights, ground and fog lights). It also has the usual stuff like headlights, antenna, beacon, etc.

The rover can be printed, but the stations have subgrids.

The driver seat is on the left. For its toolbar:
1 is engine start, switch this of and the car will run on it's batteries.
2 is front wheel propulsion, and 3 is back wheel propulsion. U can switch off one of these for slower acceleration, good for parking.
All the rest r pretty straight forward.


The rover has a fuel tank, it can be refueled by connecting the hinge on the rear left. For this reason, I built a simple fuel station for refueling and lifting the car, U can install this to ur own base. I also built a garage that is fitted with the same mechanism. When u open the blueprint, u will find the rover docked to the garage, and the fuel station connected to the garage via a yellow bar. Get rid of that yellow bar.

To dock the rover, park it like it already is in the blueprint ( the little armour stick is there to mark the distance.) Then find the control panel at the front. Press
1 (lower/ lift fuel pipe)
2 (rotate hinge to lock/unlock the fuel port)
3 (attach hinge)

To unlock, press
4 (detach)
2 (rotate hinge to lock/unlock the fuel port)
1 (lower/ lift fuel pipe)

The landing gear on the top helps lifting the car. In the garage the control panel is located next to the gate. On the fuel station it's controlled using two buttons on the side.


Scripts are Automatic LCDs and Mikr-Instrument Panel Ground Edition from the workshop.

I think that's all u need to know for now, enjoy :D

Would you mind if I used this in a scenario

This is an extremely useful base and vehicle, but I don't think Clang approves of your refueling system based on all the banging I've been hearing.

this is awesome i was building a truck to tow a buggy not made buggy yet so cool man this is awesome !

that's strange. When i try to access the container through the extractor it doesn't work. Must be a bug. no matter, the cockpits have more cargo than a small container
TRAV.  [author] 4 Dec, 2020 @ 8:28am 
that's for quick access to container, also look nice haha (otherwise connect the hinge to access the container remotely from the station)

So, I may be a newb here but I see that it has a small cargo container. Thing is i can't seem to access it. There's also an extractor behind the passenger seat, and I can't figure out what that is for.
