Sorry Coro no video guides but you can use Rayanth guide https://imgur.com/a/HvpCCkW or my own for building subgrids. https://imgur.com/a/HvpCCkW
DeadBeard 2 Dec, 2021 @ 11:46am 
is there a video tutorial for this? I think im too dumb without it. (sorry if this has been asked)
DerMakrat  [author] 7 Oct, 2021 @ 3:10am 
Now i get the question :)
Marathon Bridge 2
Marathon Ladder 2
Marathon Lamp Right 2
Marathon Lamp Left 2
Marathon Ramp
Are Blueprints needed if you want to build the Marathon in Survival.
Jhitereptar 6 Oct, 2021 @ 11:37pm 
After getting the other part for this I realized the where blueprints themselves lol sorry
DerMakrat  [author] 6 Oct, 2021 @ 9:40am 
Hello Jhitereptar thanks for the question. The Marathon does not exclude mods but it is build to function without any mods. Hope that helps.
Jhitereptar 6 Oct, 2021 @ 12:09am 
So does all the mods for this work?
DerMakrat  [author] 27 Sep, 2021 @ 1:20pm 
Maybe the handbreak is still on.
DragonBorn978 26 Sep, 2021 @ 11:24pm 
It's a verry nice rover , but it will not drive .
DerMakrat  [author] 4 Sep, 2021 @ 2:19am 
Hello Riky thank you very much :) Hope it will never disapoint you
Riky 2 Sep, 2021 @ 1:22pm 
DerMakrat, about Marathon I can say only that you're genious and what you made is masterpiece! I love it!
DerMakrat  [author] 5 Jul, 2020 @ 10:34pm 
Hello Rayanth, this is incredible, i can tell who much work and effort went into this. Realy big Thank you to you. woul like to add you link to the discription with credit to you offcourse. Will take your guide as inspiration for my next guide.
Rayanth 5 Jul, 2020 @ 4:30pm 
@petko021v - A friend and I devised a way to build the Ramp using merge blocks without any clang whatsoever, on Survival. I have put the steps together in a imgur album, see below.

@DerMakrat - I've done it again :steamhappy: -- https://imgur.com/a/HvpCCkW -- for the step-by-step of how to build the Ramp in Survival. As an added bonus, I also detail how to replace the Rotors for the ramp with Hinges from SoTF DLC!

Now if only I could figure out how to build the Bridge in survival...
DerMakrat  [author] 9 Jun, 2020 @ 7:57am 
Hello petko021tv sorry to hear about that. sadly when ever there is a Subgrid there is a potential for CLANG. I used the Marathon for a long time and never had that happen to me but im Sure that there is a chance that this can happen. maybe take a second look at the guide it should make it save to install it. again sorry for the trouble im working one Desing emelment to avoid Subrids.
Petko021tv 9 Jun, 2020 @ 6:00am 
Next time please Make something that requiers less clang to work.
Petko021tv 9 Jun, 2020 @ 5:59am 
The moment i joined the two merge blocks, the whole vehichle started roling over uncontrollably and vrecked most of the vehichle and a nerby base. That ramp is CLANG hounted.
Kam Solastor 16 Feb, 2020 @ 8:51am 
Oo, glad to hear! Can't wait to see your next stuff
DerMakrat  [author] 16 Feb, 2020 @ 12:29am 
Hello Kam Solastor, thank you for your comment. There will be more Ground vehicle in the Future. one will be a Small gird Large Surival rover with small interior the other a Large grid small version of the Marathon. right now im flooded with grids to construct and cant give a release date. Thanky you for your feedback glad you like my Design language
Kam Solastor 15 Feb, 2020 @ 11:30am 
Loving your ground vehicles I'm slowly gathering supplies in my game now to build this. Any plans though in the future for a small-grid medium/large sized rover - maybe something a bit bigger than the Giaus, with an actual interior, for mining/exploration (with maybe a few turrets for defense) that'd be projector (full survival) ready? I really love your aesthetic.

super véhicule bien pratique....
DerMakrat  [author] 2 Feb, 2020 @ 9:30pm 
Hello dinogabe5 thank you for your comment. Did you use the "p" button to unlock the handbreak? By pressing p it unlocks the handbreak and all connectors and landing gears. The Marathon has a Handbreak Button on the hotbar. It should be on the on the first hotbar. You can also configurate it your self by selecting a copit pilotseat or remot block and select handbreak on/off.

I was having a problem with the hangar. I connected a vehicle and put the parking break on but as soon as i started moving it started flying around in the hangar. I really like it but this problem is kinda killing the fun. Help?
DerMakrat  [author] 31 Jan, 2020 @ 3:09pm 
Hello Not Liam thanks for your Comment. There hase been a change to the Grid Placement propertys in space engineers. the Lcd Panels cant be connected to the Catwalk in this way any more. i Updated the Blueprint to use Transperen LCD insted they should be Buildeable without the catwalk. Make sure to use the latest version on your Projector.
Not Liam 31 Jan, 2020 @ 12:33pm 
Hi, I know this has previously been answered but I can't build the LCD's in front of the gyroscopes. I've built the catwalk to the right but it still can't be placed? Any help? Thanks.
DerMakrat  [author] 9 Jan, 2020 @ 1:53am 
Your welcome im glad could be of service :)
Rusiki 8 Jan, 2020 @ 3:27pm 
Thanks DerMakrat, you are awesome!
DerMakrat  [author] 5 Jan, 2020 @ 11:44pm 
Thanks for the Comments SpeedWagon and Rusiki. @SpeedWagon i glad you like it. when i designed it i had exactly that in mind. Have fun with your friends
@Rusiki the LCDs infront of the Gyros can only be built after building the cat walk right to them.
regarding the Subgrids i have a treat for you. Marathon Bridge
Marathon Lader
Marathon Lamp Left
Marathon Lamp Right
Marathon Ramp
its all Subgrids as a Blueprint. thanks for giving me that idea
Lime 5 Jan, 2020 @ 10:50pm 
Simply amazing. I don't usually write reviews specially for custom content but this rover is just perfect, not too big and not too small, easy to use and great to use as a mobile base. I love it, would reccomend it to anyone and will use it as a base while playing with friends in a custom survival!
Rusiki 5 Jan, 2020 @ 6:39pm 
can you list all the subgrids so I know what I am missing? also there is 2 text panels that are showing up over the 2 gyros but it won't let me build them.
DerMakrat  [author] 2 Jan, 2020 @ 12:08am 
glad i could help :) have fun
Ashes 1 Jan, 2020 @ 10:11am 
Thank You it works now

I am on Earth and i am in creative
DerMakrat  [author] 1 Jan, 2020 @ 9:58am 
the Main Seat is not able to stear the Marathon by it self it needs to take remote controll over the craft use the remote menu by preessing i and selecting the marthon. have you tried converting it into a station and back to a ship again ? are you in survival or Creativ mode ? are you in the gravitaional field of a Planet or moon ?
Ashes 1 Jan, 2020 @ 9:53am 
I am having problems with the Marathon still floating
Ashes 1 Jan, 2020 @ 9:30am 
Also if you mind i ask one more question, What do you mean by use the remote control at the end of the main seat?
Ashes 1 Jan, 2020 @ 9:17am 
i really like the model to u killed it
Ashes 1 Jan, 2020 @ 9:17am 
Oh Thank u so much
DerMakrat  [author] 1 Jan, 2020 @ 8:49am 
Hello ATOMICPirate13 no problem. sit in the pilot seat. press "I" go to Info and click on Convert to ship
Ashes 1 Jan, 2020 @ 8:19am 
I am new how do I do that?
DerMakrat  [author] 31 Dec, 2019 @ 6:54pm 
Have you converted it into a station ? Try reconverting to a ship use the info panel.
Ashes 31 Dec, 2019 @ 5:19pm

Ashes 31 Dec, 2019 @ 5:06pm

Thank you for you Showcase.
I like that you showed the rotating Ladder, a often overlocked feature.
Maybe i fit a additional roll bar
