Wait can it do the industrial frontier island?
RSBIB 7 Aug @ 5:11pm 
That's so cool!
jerryfanfan  [author] 6 Aug @ 12:59am 
yeah, have a container loaded and push a button for its destination on the side.
RSBIB 5 Aug @ 3:45pm

are you using a mod? some mods have different connection logic. if not try clicking on the triangle buttons on the container to toggle their connectors

i wen't to rescue a container and the conectors didn't work, maybe they are diferent ?

its impossible to line up
jerryfanfan  [author] 15 Mar @ 10:48pm 
Yo, a transport with 2 container would be a lot more complicated because the center of mass and air resistance would shift depending on how many containers you got loaded, it would it additional sensors and clutches to manage it. The current setup is much simpler because the center of mass of the empty craft is aligned with the container.

This is amazing! i just have one comment, could you make another type carry 2 or even 4? But other than that it's amazing!
jerryfanfan  [author] 2 Mar @ 11:17pm 
did you calibrate the BVG coordinates with the keypad before sending them out? also how long did you wait, it can take up to 40 minutes round trip I believe, maybe even more if there is headwind
MaxJohnso 2 Mar @ 10:27am 
so like i sent 3 out to bvg freight but they haven't arived nor returned yet possibility they crash while traveling?

Thanks!!!:steamhappy:

My guy. This thing is amazing. I've got five running at any given time and its enabled a beginner like me to get more money then i ever thought possible. I swear if I can get half as good at creating as you have with this thing then i will be thrilled. Amazing work, friend!!!!

good

I'm absolutely amazed by how elegant and simple you've managed to make this build while allowing for manual control alongside the automatic modes of operation. I'm going to be spending at least a little time figuring out where to put 1 or 2 dials (perhaps an instrument panel) to give a some indication of height above ground (or sea level, or both) but I'm really hesitant about adding anything like a video monitor for that purpose, because as-is it has excellent framerates too.

it's on the left pylon, above the left hull.

I can't find the vehicle's fuel port and i feel incredibly stupid
Enzo 27 Nov, 2024 @ 4:38pm 
Me and my friend are having trouble connecting it to a cargo crate and the video wasn't that clear. Other than that this works great! Is there any way to solve this or are we doing something wrong?
jerryfanfan  [author] 18 Nov, 2024 @ 7:34pm 
great to hear you like it:steamhappy:
Pop`s 18 Nov, 2024 @ 12:56pm 
I have a convoy of them now, you have made the start of Stormworks so much better, not so grindy, all im doing is keeping an eye on the fuel and ive made money so quick ive got my oil rig running so im refuelling from there, I know you can just add money but then there is no point playing, Ive never kept doing cargo runs before as I could never find anything worth using, Ive not looked at how you and Xvunuthut have managed to have the way points programmed in but its true genius, the power of such a compact machine is fantastic.
Pop`s 18 Nov, 2024 @ 7:32am 
This is one if not the best vehicle to start in career mode with, I made 300K in my first day just moving containers, I disconnected the seat occupied, just while im doing all the runs myself and added a couple of cables and first aid kits, It runs like a dream, the folding mechanism is a great touch, enabling me to get into tight spots. When I have enough money to do another career, ill put the seat occupied back and try some auto missions with it, all round, a very nice design.

I think it's probably a good idea to add gas relief, most of these vehicles were built before it was needed.
Etyneo 14 Nov, 2024 @ 5:50pm 
Don't know if it's actually needed, but for my own peace of mind I modified this slightly to add gas relief valves for the fuel tanks. I will not be releasing the modification though. It's easy enough to do, but the internals where I did it are a bit cramped, making it difficult to see things properly.

I found the internal piping arrangement to be interesting and managed to find a good spot internally to add the gas valve and a fluid port so there's nothing draggy sticking out. Also found out the engines are air cooled (seemingly without pumps, even), which is neat as I didn't think that could be done in SW.

I thought They all were? But ok then lol Thanks for the info
jerryfanfan  [author] 22 Oct, 2024 @ 6:50pm 
Thanks for the kind words @Badger

@Reaper, the locations of the cargo terminals are not randomized except BVG in the arctic.
FourWindBadger 22 Oct, 2024 @ 1:23pm 
This is the best thing i have ever downloaded from the workshop its soo easy and simple to use! Im angry at myself for being to dumb to understand how to make something like this myself xD i would have loved to make my own so i dont have to feel like its stealing the money xD
Reaper 22 Oct, 2024 @ 11:24am 
Could you explain how the craft knows where the cargo areas are no matter the seed? I've been searching for how it knows but couldnt find anything... I would like to use a similar system for one of my drones.
jerryfanfan  [author] 21 Oct, 2024 @ 7:11pm 
you can modify it as you need. By default it only needs to fly to locations with hard ground, hence the wheels. adding a few skies shouldn't disturb the weight balance.
shonuff 20 Oct, 2024 @ 8:14am 
ik it already has wheels but for arctic deliverys it will be nice -sho
shonuff 20 Oct, 2024 @ 8:14am 
well like skis
shonuff 20 Oct, 2024 @ 8:13am 
hey can you add some landing gear
jerryfanfan  [author] 20 Oct, 2024 @ 5:54am 
why land it on a ship it is amphibious
Little Tommo 20 Oct, 2024 @ 12:12am 
i can see why someone would like it, but it beaches itself everytime i try to land on a cargo ship
Melon Baron 18 Oct, 2024 @ 6:45am 
awesome
shonuff 11 Oct, 2024 @ 2:58pm 
love it :)

LOVE IT AND THE AUTO PILOT!, Amazing Job!, this is the best starter way to transport goods!
bataviabulldogsteve 13 Sep, 2024 @ 5:13pm 
nvm you need to enable the top connectors first
bataviabulldogsteve 13 Sep, 2024 @ 2:12pm 
it cant pick up crates
luketheinventor11 13 Sep, 2024 @ 12:13pm 
i think there might have been a new update, now it is too tall to pick up the containers.
Ra 6 Sep, 2024 @ 10:14am 
It just keeps dropping the container without actually holding it
jerryfanfan  [author] 16 Aug, 2024 @ 1:11am 
you need to turn on the connectors on top of the containers, there is a button on the container for it.
