KHV-2 Harvester

Description
A compact survival HV for your everyday needs. Great for mowing trees, lizards, or just keeping the lawn tidy. Small size and lightweight steel keeps the Harv from getting snagged on jagged terrain. Mounts twin docking pads on the base - will fit in (or on) just about any CV with some flat area.

Loadout:
-Cargo Box
-Harvester Container
-Fridge
-Constructor
-O² Station (+1 O² Tank)
-Harvester Module

═════════════

Author's Note: I've found the best use of this one is chasing down passive wildlife for meat. The Harv's combine makes quick work of passive wildlife (which has an annoying tendency to flee if you start shooting). Then just hop out, gather up your meat, and stash it in the fridge.

UPDATED 1-03-2017 - Had to remove two Cargo Boxes to squeeze in the new Harvest container. Fortunately none of the requirements changed so the BP cost remains accurate. I think I have reached the limit of what I can cram into this little skimmer.

A little behind, but now updated for the 5.0 changes (had to include a harvest container so tree-cutting wouldn't just waste material).

@headspace - underneath the vehicle. Accessible from below, or through the Control Panel ('P')

Where is the fuel bay?

You could probably swap out the orange curved blocks on either side for a pair of gatlings, and it wouldn't affect balance much. Might have to poke around a little to find space for an ammo box though.

Actually, i meant would putting a gun on it unbalance it inany way, make it less maneuverable you think? I'm not a builder type

@q_the_physicist - if you want to put a gun on it, put a gun on it, doesn't matter to me :)

Holy smokes! is this thing maneuverable! I easily climbed to the top of a mountain and flew off, barrel-rolling it as I came down! Man, this little HV is great! Would mounting a gun on this ruin it?

Mikemc, that was the original idea. Then I discovered I couldn't "Harvest" seaweed with it.
But it ground up meat pretty nicely, so I kept it anyway.
