Volvo EC220E Excavator [Modded]

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SMART PHYSICS! SET THE PHYSICS QUALITY TO "Advanced"!

At some point after posting this blueprint, Fant changed something regarding how the track controls function, and thus the track driving and steering is broken, and I can't figure out how to fix it.
Until I get around to remaking the undercarriage, this blueprint is best left sitting in one spot, looking pretty.
The swing functions and digging arm functions all still work fine though.


Here is my take on the Volvo EC220E Excavator!

I started working on this blueprint a good while ago, before I even started working on the L250H and 140G. I did have it completely finished at one point, but when Robb (Go show him and his blueprints some love https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/Robb_Scrap/ ) gave me pointers on how to reduce lag generated from blueprints, I decided to completely rebuild it, which was good because the original version felt like it was about to destroy my computer.

The original version used the Tank Tracks from the MJM Mod, and while those work fantastically right out of the box, they look kind of ugly on an excavator, and when Fant released his own Tank Tracks mod, I decided to switch over to them, as they look much better.
The downside is, they work slightly worse. You will undoubtedly notice that the excavator moves and turns a lot faster than what would be realistic, but turning down the speed also turns down the torque to the point where the excavator can't move anymore, so it's stuck being ridiculously fast.
Either way, I'd say the way Fant's tracks look far outweighs the way they function, so I'm sticking with them.

And as usual, I am entirely too stupid to figure out how to do advanced piston controls, but HUGE shoutouts to Zachsl, who put together and uploaded this ready made, ready to integrate, and easily adjustable piston controller which I integrated into the blueprint, go check it out and show the 'em some love: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1760066109

If the Bucket Cylinder does not automatically curl in towards the stick upon spawning in the machine, put it back in the vehicle lift and try placing it again.

Controls:
WASD = Drive Forwards / Backwards, as well as turn Left / Right.
1 & 2 = Swing the machine Left / Right, respectively.
3 & 4 = Lower / Raise the boom, respectively.
5 & 6 = Swing the stick Towards / Away, respectively.
