Description
WHI - Mining Transportation Carrier - MK5

This is a re-design of the older Rover Transport MK4. It retains the same cargo capacity of 10x Large Containers but have a few improvements to its design. A 6th set of wheels have been added to the front for better traction, balance and strength. The wheels have been narrowed to reduce its overall width but making it slightly taller instead. The flatbed have been flattened to allow it to fit even larger drones such as the M5P.

Its main purpose is to act as a drone carrier and ore transport between resource points and your base of operations. It has a total of 12 wheels and It uses additional thrusters to help it traverse up and down steep hills.

Edit 2023-02-02:
Added reverse cams and the controls for it on bar-9

A great looking truck that looks good but also appears to be able to get the job done (I don't know what job but it make you sound like you know what you're doing). But wait, there's more and not just crappy steak knives, with this truck you get a free drone that knows how to mine ore. This is a great idea for those wanting to play on the survival maps etc, so a good idea and a good example as well. Thank you FunkyBacon for sharing your ideas and effort with the group. Onya.

I keep getting the "Only the largest Grid will be retained" message. I can't seem to get the drone to pair to the transport. Am I doing something wrong?

They should work from the start. Is the rover's PB fully built? If it is, then maybe its a LCD naming issue that got changed or it got returned to default name in the script itself...

The screens that show battery and used cargo in the cockpit don't seem to work for me. Is there something I need to do to get them to work? The ones in the mining ship work.

thanks, I could'nt figure out that the batteries are turning off as well

If you turn off the batteries before being docked then you'll have to go to the drone in person to turn it back on again.

szteinoo just fly to it and find the batterys and reenable them

What if you accidentally turn off power to the mining drone while not being docked? is there any chance to power it back on ?
