So I am really a noob at this game so when I was going through the "Career Mode" side of it, I ran into a mission to go retrieve a lost container. This was perfect for that job, Have zero complaints and you nailed it perfectly to do that job. Granted I didn't know about the button on top of the containers to turn on the connectors, but that was a fun bit of fiddling till I figured it out. My only teeny tiny complaint is no defibs onboard (or I didn't find it at the time) and had a back-to-back mission to go rescue some fishermen both of which were unconscious. Oops. Guess you can't save everyone. So even after a year, did a great job!

very nice good job :)

S LA C T thats short for Self Loading Amphibious Container Tractor

duck

this is by far the coolest little boat tractor and i love that its both well design and it acutely looks good to

lets find out the hard way

what's the max load weight?

For some reason the loader just flips it backward.

THE DUCK!!!!!!!

i would call it, code name: "the duck"

Can I borrow some microcontrollers from this thing?

may i ask permission to borrow some microcontrollers from this thing? mostly for engine starting and the controls of the treads to props.

Still had it get a bit hot, found a sweet spot around 13 RPS and toned the engine max RPS down to that in the microcontrollers as well as lowered the shift point to 11 RPS, goes slightly slower but so far it seems to have stopped the overheating. I am mainly using it between FJ Warner and the Uranium Port in the arid region though, maybe that could be a contributing factor as far as overheating goes.
Other than that everything is working great, the throttle lock feature helps out quite a bit

No worries, thank you for the quick update and sharing your creation!

Sorry about that, it has been updated to have better cooling and a throttle lock so you dont need to keep holding the throttle down

I like the creation and idea but unfortunately it is almost unusable for its intended purpose, no consistent throttle control so you have to hold W making it run at max rpm at all times causing it to overheat within minutes if you try to haul anything.
Hope to see it updated and improved, it has great potential, just needs some things worked out.

Oh, no kidding. The fuel fill isn't hooked up to the tanks? First time I've seen someone make that mistake. :P

I finally managed to load a container onto it. Now it's overheated, because hitting W just pumps the throttle up to full and the cooling system's not up to it. Is there a way to switch it to a regular throttle so I can keep the RPS lower? I can't find any more buttons. And will it ever let me have full engine power back once it's overheated or am I in limp mode until I respawn it?

I would love the ability to dock this with one of your larger ships. Like you the container ship but where I can drive on and off from the water.

Your creations are my favourite!

Coooooooool

WOW

This is Genius.

I kind of found where it is, yet i still have no clue on how to add sticky throttle for the autopilot, lol. Couldnt find any tutorials on it too, can you maybe make one if you have time? I would love to use this in career mode, but with keep having to press W its kind of boring. If you want to i can give you the one i made with just the Autopilot.

Awesome. I did get an Autopilot to work for it, yet i have no clue how im supposed to add Sticky Throttle with all the microcontrollers in it. I literally couldnt find the throttle for the Propellors, only the Tracks.

needs waypoint AP for boat mode, but still pretty good.

Looks like a rubber duck, give it a beak and eyes

Okay yeah thats what i thought thanks!

It might be caused by the air intake getting blocked by water from roughly jumping into the water or rolling over in the water

Great vehicle just have a question. Whenever im travelling in the water the engine will randomly take damage and die on me. This happens with or without a container. Any clue how to fix?

now we need a large version

Thats FANTASTIC!!! THANKS

Very neat and innovative. It inspires me to build one. Great work!!

great vehicle would be nice if it had an auto pilot and cruise control although its fine without them

can you make an duck version?

genius

the little tractor that could

chad vehicle

ty bro

You have such a great skill for shaping, colouring and detailing vehicles.
