MULTV01 Ox AEV - Felling & Excavation*

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The first in my series of Military Utility/Logistics/Transport Vehicles is the Ox Felling & Excavation Armoured Engineering Vehicle.
The Ox is a military ground vehicle intended to clear trees, gather wood and dig up ore, while protecting it's user and it's internals with "military-grade" armour and defence turrets.
* The Ox ignores device limits, with it's 8 Gatling Turrets AND 8 Laser Drills.

Constructors = One.
Detector; Wireless Connection; Interior Lights controlled by Motion Sensors; Exterior Lights, Doors & Ramps controlled by Motion Sensors; Hazard Beacons automatic on MiningMode.
Outer Doors - Automatic (motion sensor controlled).

- NOTE - the devices have been sorted into custom device groups, upon which some of the custom Device Group Shortcuts depend, so it is strongly recommended to not use the "Auto Group" feature.
1. PropulsionEtc - Turns on & off all Thrusters EXCEPT the vertical thrusters, and the "main" Hover Engines.
NB - using the Thrusters "General" shortcut will leave the hover engines off.
2. MaxLift - Turns on & off additional Hover Engines for high-G environments.
3. Headlights - Turns on & off ALL Spotlights and "Spotlight Mode" Lights.
4. Taillights - Turns on & off ALL red flares on rear.
5. Ventilators - Turns on & off the Ventilator block (so you can save power in a breathable environment).
1. PowerSave - Turning the 'Power Save' custom signal on turns the following devices off:
WiFi; Holo (LCD) Projectors; Light/Ramp/Door Control Motion Sensors.
2. MiningMode - Turns on & off the Laser Drills; turns off the "main" Hover Engines and turns on the "Mining Hover Engines" and vice versa; turns on & off the vertical Thrusters; turns on & off the Hazard Beacons.
3. GatlingTurrets - Turns on & off the "Anti-Personnel" Gatling Turrets.
4. Production - Turns on & off the single Constructor.
5. CloseShutters - Closes any access shutter on the rear left open.

None - there is no in-built upgrade path.

As shown in the above screenshots, the colour palette includes 4 primary colours to choose from: Desert Sand (vehicle comes in this colour); Military Green; Arctic White; Dark Grey. To swap the colour, simply click on the "Replace Mode" check box on the Colour And Texture Tool's UI, then (ensuring that no texture is selected) click on the coloured square that you want to change to, then "fire" the Colour & Texture Tool at any part of the vehicle that is painted the colour you want to replace.


- NOTE - any Mini Fridges on board come turned off by default to save power until food is inside needing to be kept cold, and can only be turned off manually (or by turning off all power to the vehicle) from the fridge's own UI to limit instances of food being accidentally spoiled.
