"Prospector" Mobile Drill (Vanilla)

Description
I want tank tracks :(

This here is a large wheeled vehicle, based on small wheels, which are surprisingly more reliable than 3x3 wheels (redundancy), and I always wanted a mobile drilling rig, so I made this little fella.
It comes with everything you would need on a extended voyage across a planet

>Reactor/Battery power supply
>Some oxygen farms
>A DRILL! :P
>Medbay/Cryotube
>Pressurized bridge
>Refinery, assembler, H2 generation system
>Automatic stone disposal
>Landing pad

To use the drill:
1.Handbrake ON
2.Reverse advanced rotor (Drilling tower should be up)
3.Reverse pistons & activate drill
4.Have fun with a bunch of stone :P

And here it is, the production model of my combat crawler, using the Prospector's suspension. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=710035723

Very cool. I will do just that, just need to round a few edges, but wanted to ask ahead of time before i published, thanks!

This is a very cool design and works well, i just like to play around with mods, so i have changed this up a bit. Just want to know if its ok to publish my version with credits to you for base design and if not ok i wont do so. thanks!

Looks amazing, and works wonders... at least on flat surfaces.

I like it!

I have to say that you have made a suspension system that works very well, it is actually the closest thing to actual tracks that I have seen so far. I decided to make a large grid tank out of it. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=696100109 Is like a scaled down version of the coalition cruiser from Deserts of Kharak.
