[T.N.N.S.F.]- Granite Eutectic

Mining ship transport
Gravity environment only
No mods, DLC required


Mobile resource transport with Quartz miner

Survival Ready.
A transport truck with mining ship "Quartz" integrated.
Want to mine resources using agile miner ship, but the weight limit and energy consumption gives you a headache?
Why not load them all up in a truck and drive!

Equipped with H2/O2 generator and storage containers.
Use hydrogen engine and battery power sources for early survival situations.


*WARNING*
Land-based vehicles in the game are all kinda fragile, keep reasonable speed and try to avoid severe terrain.
Safe driving !

This idea is not new, a flying miner transporting rover, many people have done it already.
But I want to make one fitting to my own build style and the miner I designed before.
This variant has been sitting in the blueprint folder for a long time, and is actually the original intended function for Granite rovers, the one with survival kit was designed later than this one.

The goal is to make it cheap enough for players to consider it as early survival vehicle, with functions handy for early gameplay.
The miner, Quartz, was also designed that it's easy to be modified into ion thruster variant, so hopefully can stay useful even after the player gains the ability to leave the planet.
I also deliberately avoid using reactors so it is more viable for early game/planet start.

I haven't been playing as much SE as I used to, mainly due to now work is taking too much time for me to comfortably sink hours into designing ships.
Still I'll make new ships from time to time, just expect longer silence between new builds, and probably more of them being modification/improvement of older creations.
