Suspension Chassis Rover Test [DLC]

Made a little proof of concept rover for myself that I plan to use the basis of for future suspension/leg based rovers. Uses deactivated hinges and 1 wheel suspension blocks with 15 degree freedom of movement to act as bouncy suspension. Heavy blocks are in the wheel subgrids to weigh down the rover.

Sparks of the Future DLC is used for doors. Removable and replaceable.

All systems should be connected on the top portion so technically it can work in survival. Added a few things to make it work as a mobile nomad vehicle. Takes a lot more power to run than I originally thought.

Part of it may appear blown up. Testing was done on Pertam, weather storm appeared and blew something up. It still runs and this is just a test so I'm not too bothered about the aesthetics.

Makes use of Whiplash's turret slaving and wheel subgrind scripts. [Putting this here to remind myself at some point to link them]

Feel free to reuse the general concept without crediting, as the idea was taken from other creations. Actual construction was done without copy pasting workshop items. To make use of the base chassis, just chop off all the top portion except for the bottom two block layers that hold the hinges and suspension. Whiplash's wheel subgrid script is necessary unless you just want to control wheels with terminal overrides.

[Warning]: Don't paste in space unless you want to see the rover do the equivalent of a roller skater on all fours clap their 4 feet together like a seizure. Mad funny.

Just a test I thought was cool to share. Don't plan on uploading any other rovers of this type unless it looks damn near immaculate.
