hello Sniper, the Blueprint does not have traditional subgrids. the Wheels are technicaly a subgrid. other than that it should be easy to build. Check out the Gaius Ranger for a more up to date version.

Just wondering, what on the vehicle requires multigrids? having to work around not using them and i dont wanna tear into it without some prior knowledge.

I did have a look at the Marathon, but that is much too large for what I had in mind. To me that seems like an endgame vehicle, rather than something to get you settled.

Hello Kaito, thank you for sharing your idea. I have a mobile exploration base in my Bleuprints. Its calles the Marathon https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1913870563 . maybe thats a bit to big for what you where suggesting but it hase everything you need to survive and build.
Maybe i will look into the hole Rover becoming permamently stationary idea in the future.
Maybe until then check out the marathon and let me know your thoughts :)

So far my only problem is that it's too nice of a rover to disassemble and build my starter base with it. I've decided to keep it intact and build my base by processing stone.

Which brings me to my next point. I've been thinking about working on a large grid starter rover. Something designed specifically to land, drive somewhere decent (but not _too_ far) and then be rebuilt into the base itself. Maybe even be able to "settle" down from the wheels and become a station.

Have you ever worked on something like that?

Awesome. hope you have fun

Funny you say that, I literally just modified the Gaius as my new starter vehicle.

Hello Kaito, have you tryed the Gaius ranger. or are you looking for a 4 Seater in paticular ? :) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2319013619

A slightly updated version of this would be great as a respawn ship mod.
DerMakrat  [author] 19 Dec, 2020 @ 1:20am

Psyc 16 Nov, 2020 @ 3:30pm 
Hey DerMakrat, I love your design. It has a great aesthetic to it. I was wondering if you'll ever make an APC of sorts or even just a tank? I'd love to see what you come up with!

I spawned it in a singleplayer world. On flat ground. Wont move
DerMakrat  [author] 14 Nov, 2020 @ 12:53am 
Hello Halo Punk sorry to here that is the rover connected to a connector. Are you plaing on a server? Try contacting the admin. Did you have a crash befor. If so try removibg the part of the rover that has glitched into the ground. Hope that helps
Brutus 13 Nov, 2020 @ 4:14pm 
Cant even move the damned thing. Stuck in place only moving its wheels
DerMakrat  [author] 18 May, 2020 @ 1:39pm 
hello Zelitz thank you for your comment.
that is agreat mod you did there :) i sure it will enhance performance. The Gaius and garreth bothe have the dimensions to fit on a large grid ramp or hangar with a width of 3 blocks and 4 length. sadly that space limitation is a compromise. the problem with the armor is on my screen and hoply i can fix it in future rovers :)
Zelitz 18 May, 2020 @ 9:47am 
Great rover! We also had issues with the wheels and side armor blocks (both Griffin and Gaius, will post on that one as well). We solved it by simply extending each wheel out by 1 block. Additionally we needed to move the rear wheels back by a block. These two changes allowed it to be welded without any issues and even helped the overall stability.

If you try to build it in survival with a projektor, make eure there is space to put the wheel. If it still is not buildable, build the supension and use the Button add wheel on by selecting the wheel on the Control Panel
Walid the child soldier 13 Nov, 2019 @ 1:54am 
How do I add the wheels to this ?
Mogol 12 Nov, 2019 @ 3:52am 
Will love that. I also love the fact that small ship interior is so much easier to build nowadays.
DerMakrat  [author] 11 Nov, 2019 @ 12:58pm 
Thank ayou very much ART | Mogol. I have a nother ground vehicle coming up. Its going to be Larger :)
Mogol 11 Nov, 2019 @ 7:53am 
Love this.
