Yeah I see, I'll try to fix it

the mnr script doesn't run on the current version of the game

None of the toolbars loaded correctly when built, so this thing doesnt function at all unless I manually do everything.

The mOS script has been fixed and all models using it have been updated. The scripts themselves (a few variations for different vehicles) are posted in https://discord.gg/zZHAccYpzV for you to manually update it in your worlds.

It is very sad to hear that you have experienced problems with this model. I always take all feedback into account when creating new models, so your feedback will help improve the next generation of mining rovers

The only thing this rover has is aesthetics.
This design did not take into actual function at all, and is the most useless piece of crap ever.
Never has a mining car gotten so much stuck as this one.
Reverse doesn't even function at all when you are in a slight downwards angle.
The engine is too high up and blows up from crashing into tunnnel ceilings.
This thing is now stuck in a ditch of it's own making where it belongs.

Ejectors were added as an option to empty all ores from Mole cargo or drills, at first I planned that only for emergency situations, where you may need to empty vehicle entirely, but I think I can add sorters with the script update
SerenityInChaos 27 Sep, 2021 @ 10:05am 
One question, are the ejectors handled in your script to only toss stone, without having a sorter in the connector tube pipeline?
SerenityInChaos 27 Sep, 2021 @ 10:03am 
No worries. I figured as much, but would not know if I didn't ask.

Hi, right now there are no plans to make a public version of the script
SerenityInChaos 25 Sep, 2021 @ 9:41pm 
Love the Mole, any way i could get an original copy of the script? I want to build a slightly bigger miner using the same concept.

Thank you

Beautiful aesthetics, man! Also, I'm impressed at your elegant, simple solution to the "nose diving" issue common with rover-based drills. The only solution I ever found before was to put the drill arms on rotors, which is bulky and ugly and doesn't always keep the vehicle from drilling straight down after a while. Brilliant work.

Thanks!

First off: Beautiful Screenshots
Second: This has given me an idea
Cpt Pillowy Giant 20 Sep, 2021 @ 1:03pm 
Thanks for the update, keep up the Good work too!
Foltast  [author] 20 Sep, 2021 @ 1:02pm 
I have not tested right click mining, but I think it will be ok
I like that plugin for subgrids, its really helpful
Cpt Pillowy Giant 20 Sep, 2021 @ 3:04am 
A load off would be fine, what about the Right click way? Would it do tunnels that way as well or just the main mine click? Thanks!

There is a plugin to allow multi-grid projections for survival building. It's called Multigrid Projection.
You can easily get that and other great plugins if you get the Plugin Loader mod here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2407984968&searchtext=plugin
As a bonus you don't have to add them to every world, and since plugins are client side other people don't have download them for you play multiplayer.

About front wheels - try to add wheels before the drills, this helps to my friends
For me rover works fine without a gyro on, But I believe it may be caused by a full cargo (too much weight on the rear wheels can cause a flip).
Szymon XII 19 Sep, 2021 @ 6:41am 
why it rolls with gyroscopes off
stuiesmith 19 Sep, 2021 @ 2:12am 
brilliant thank you
Foltast  [author] 18 Sep, 2021 @ 7:24pm 
Hi thanks!
Pistons and landing gears are subgrids, so it can't be created via projections (Keens, we are still waiting this!), so you will have to place blocks by yourself. The rover will be updated with auto configurator for setting the placed by you blocks in the next couple of days. Right now it more like a creative mode feature
I'll check the wheels
It makes almost straight tunnels, but requires an often load off :)
Cpt Pillowy Giant 18 Sep, 2021 @ 5:05pm 
Looks very nice BUT does this make tunnels well? as in tunnel and keep its wheels on the ground/floor.
stuiesmith 18 Sep, 2021 @ 9:31am 
Not sure if its just me, there seems to be something wrong with the projection. . .. the front wheels wont connect. .. also i seem to be missing all of the landing gear and some pistons. .. iv built it twice now and its not part of the projection.
ViccyQ 18 Sep, 2021 @ 3:34am 
I love this!

Very cool!

Wish more realistic Rover Servers were out there to make good survival use of creations like this.
