[HullTec] Backpacker Semi-Truck

A semi-truck version of my Backpacker Cargo Truck for use with different kinds of trailers.

This blueprint contains the Truck only. Links to the trailers can be found at the bottom.

The Backpacker is my personal favorite ground vehicle on Survival Servers because it's just fun to use. Good handling, proper design and easy to modify to your needs.

This semi-truck version is a tiny bit more complex because of the hinge/rotor construction, which allows you to attach a trailer. You can use one of my trailers or design your own.
the control seats can be replaced with a standard cockpit, so you can use the truck in environments without atmosphere. The conveyor system for the cockpit is already built.
further details:
- large reactor
- battery
- oxygen tank
- connector
- and a nice design

If you build the truck with a projector in survival, it will be missing the hinge and the merge block. That's easy to fix:
1) build truck from projection
2) place hinge on rotor head
3) place merge block on hinge
4) make sure torque and velocity of the rotor are set to 0
5) set the torque and breaking torque of the hinge to ~400NM (so it will stay upright when the trailer is detached)
6) check "share inertia tensor" on the hinge block's setting. Otherwise the trailer will behave wonky.
