HH Wheel Loader

Description
CREDITS
Special thanks to Blargmode, the original creator of the HS1 Wheel Loader. I enjoyed his build a lot, so decided to update and improve it. This build is a reworked version of the HS1.

DESCRIPTION
Heavy Haul Industries now presents an upgraded HS Wheel Loader. The vehicle now has improved electronics, that doesn't require programmable blocks. The Loader is also equipped with the most up-to-date technologies, to make it even more comfortable and durable. The Wheel Loader is suitable for any task. Just try and see what it can do!

HOW TO USE
The interia dampeners must be turned OFF at all times!

Just like any other rover, use W and S to accelerate and break/reverse, A and D to turn left/right. Use space to lift the tool arm and C to lower it.

WHAT I MANAGED TO IMPROVE
  1. Thanks to Event Controllers, the Wheel Loader no longer requires scripts.
  2. The Wheel Loader now has better distribution of weight. It won't flip, if you put too much materials in it.
  3. The vehicle requires hydrogen and is entiresly powered with engines, which is more realistic.
  4. The Loader now has 2 connectors - one on the bottom, and one on the back.
  5. The Loader now has more cargo capacity.
  6. The Wheel Loader now has airtight cockpit.
  7. It now has functional blinkers, break and reverse lights.
  8. You can now unmerge the drills (tools) and create a new set of equipement, such as grinders, magnet, or collectors.

WHAT I MANAGED TO SCREW UP
  1. With so many subgrids, there's a chance of Clang paying you a visit, although I haven't been blessed yet.
  2. The Loader sometimes doesn't go completely straight. You can adjust the Stop Turn Event Controller to fix it.
  3. Only rear wheels provide propulsion, although front wheels can help you to back up.
  4. I had to move the ladders back a bit, which can cause problems with using the ladder. Hold W while clicking on the ladder.

TIPS
  • The Loader is better at going uphill on reverse.
  • If the Loader doesn't go straight, adjust Event Controller - Stop Turn threshold.
  • Check out Custom Data of event controllers, to see how they should be set up.
  • Hold space and C simultaneously, to help the Loader to stop, without lifting the tool.
  • If you have trouble backing up, turn on the front wheels. They have override and help you to reverse.
  • Hold W while clicking on ladder.

Also, a great way to hollow out passages for building inside cliffs and mountains, and asteroids once you get it safely landed. Great job.
