Hello everybody thanks for your comment and sorry for the late reply. @tropicdome thank you. it should still be stable without thruster. but not as agile hope your having fun ;) @Mako & @Kaito about the timer blocks. it would be great if they can have a funtion like set to Height 49,5 ^^ or something like it. until then i use the 5% increments. one thing i discoverd is. you can put multipl same comments in one timer blocks at different hotbar. and increase by 15 % or 20 % that way.. Maybe thats the reason Mako is having trouble setting them up again ? @Moshiach glad you like it handing was the main goal in designing the Gaius :)
Kaito 18 May, 2021 @ 6:28pm 
The timers on this remind me that I keep meaning to write a generic script to allow setting specific values of things rather than "increment by 5%". I have no idea how to keep the timers working, they always seem to get out of whack.

A lot of fun to build and drive. Well designed and colored. Handles exceptionally well on all terrain. My new favorite factory model.

I made a version of this vehicle with two simple cockpits that looks almost identical (save the cockpits). This allows me to run with actual pressurized space for driver and passenger. The only thing I have not done yet is decipher the timer block settings to match the original. Reverse engineering that stuff can be a little tedious since they rarely show you precisely what things are being changed or set in the actions menu.

Awesome design. Fan of your others as well. My only complaint, and nothing you can do about it, is lack of pressurized cabin. Would be nice if Keen could allow you full glassed in cockpit and still have access to the seats. Makes it harder to use on planets with inhospitable biomes. :steamhappy:

Very nice design, I love it. Playing on a rover only server, so can't use the thrusters, but it is still a nice vehicle. I added a beacon, because it was needed to not be deleted. Great job.

Thank you two for the comments :) i also like the ooohhhh shit button ^^

What a Awsome Rover my Friend, I love how well it handles, and the fact it has parachutes for my oops moments lol
Idiot With A Gun 17 Dec, 2020 @ 7:30am 
he did not do false advertising, this thing is a beast i climbing mountains, as long as all the wheels connect
DerMakrat  [author] 16 Dec, 2020 @ 10:55pm 
thank you very much hope you have fun :)
CMDR_WATCHYOUR6 16 Dec, 2020 @ 10:42pm 
freaking cool as usual with your rovers. Will try it for sure mate
Idiot With A Gun 16 Dec, 2020 @ 10:43am 
ok
DerMakrat  [author] 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:47am 
Looking forward to you next fieldtest ethan
DerMakrat  [author] 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:46am 
try the parachutes if to high and hit the offroad mode befor landing should help ^^
DerMakrat  [author] 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:46am 
not adviced ^^
Idiot With A Gun 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:42am 
if it is a medium hight jump you can do cool tricks, like a barrel roll, but if not high enough you will smack into the planet sideways
Idiot With A Gun 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:37am 
WARNING DO NOT GO VERY FAST ON BUMPY SURFACES, YOU WILL GET LAUNCHED IN THE AIR AND THE BOTTOM ARMOR CAN ONLY WITHSTAND A HIGH FALL ONCE, THE NEXT TIME YOUR STUFF WILL BE BADLY DAMAGED
Idiot With A Gun 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:09am 
ok
DerMakrat  [author] 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:08am 
the next one wont have escape pods but i will think about it and start tests
Idiot With A Gun 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:06am 
hey also an idea for the big one, have escape pods in it, near the bridge so the commanders can escape if attacked
Idiot With A Gun 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:05am 
holy cow thanks
DerMakrat  [author] 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:05am 
a large grid ship is comming that can carry 4 of thees until the the agility can carry 2 and the Speedy can carry 1 hope that helps
Idiot With A Gun 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:03am 
Could you make a heavily armored interplanetary vehicle to transport this or even multiple of them, that would be extra cool.
DerMakrat  [author] 15 Dec, 2020 @ 9:30pm 
Hello Austin_Legend thhank you for the comment. that was my goal ;) enjoy the new car smell :)
Austin_Legend 15 Dec, 2020 @ 12:09pm 
Damn, this thing really be built for everything. Its like an actual car manufacturer just made this
DerMakrat  [author] 15 Dec, 2020 @ 1:20am 
thank you very much for the comment will ad a litte info for wheel setup to the discription.
DerMakrat  [author] 15 Dec, 2020 @ 1:19am 
yes it it. sry for that. you can hit button 3 on hotbar 1 to set the Whhel height to max after that it shhould add the wheel without a problem
Kherianda 14 Dec, 2020 @ 7:57pm 
Also, I had to push the wheels down afterwards, so that the armor blocks just above them would weld. Apparently, welding rovers up from blueprints is a minigame in itself. o.O
Kherianda 14 Dec, 2020 @ 7:44pm 
I figured it out! I had to trim away some (a lot) of the blocks and batteries around the wheels, and weld those first. Apparently they need a lot of space to pop in the tires correctly. I was using ABRS and I had to stop it, do the trimming, the weld the wheels on manually, then turn ABRS back on to finish. Whew!
Kherianda 14 Dec, 2020 @ 6:56pm 
I tried to build this with my projector, and everything worked except the wheels would not place. I had it up away from the ground and there was plenty of space around it. After It was built (without wheels) I tried to "add a wheel" to each suspension, no luck. Then I removed one suspension and replaced it manually, hoping the wheel would show up - it did not. Any ideas? It's a beautiful design - but hard to drive with no wheels. Well, the two tiny wheels in the front are there.
DerMakrat  [author] 14 Dec, 2020 @ 6:19am 
worth a try thanks for the idea

What if the added mass would be set to equal to earth gravity.
The block I was referring to is the “space ball” because we can adjust it mass
DerMakrat  [author] 14 Dec, 2020 @ 1:37am 
hm i think so never tested it before. but stining on the ground at high speeds is a real problem not only on the moon ^^
ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || 14 Dec, 2020 @ 12:20am 
this next question is something i never thought of before nor testing it ... but would mass block work on Low Grav place like the moon to keep it grounded?
DerMakrat  [author] 14 Dec, 2020 @ 12:07am 
Hello OttoArms, [PAX] Adjoint and ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || thank you for your Comments. glad you like the Gaius :)
about the questions i will test if there is a hhidrogen version needed for Mars and alien Planet. I dont think it would be needed for moon thanks to its low gravity but will test that as well.
The Gatling guns, top turrets and parachutes are not connected to the general inventory. that is by designe. the can all be loaded through convenient openings and the towp turrets have 2 small cargo container connected to thhem.
ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || 13 Dec, 2020 @ 10:56pm 
also the static gatling guns are not fed is that on purpose?
ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || 13 Dec, 2020 @ 7:38pm 
will there be a space verison ( non-atmospherical)?
Adjoint [PAX] 13 Dec, 2020 @ 6:22am 
I really need to try it :) It seems to be what I was really missing for Earth :) Plus, it has the sign of Der :):steamhappy:
OttoArms 13 Dec, 2020 @ 6:21am 
A Must Have!!
