i made a shitty space car. it was supposed to help dig holes but that did not work so well and a lot of time was spent recovering it :blobcatgoogly:

The thing with SE is that ground vehicles suck. Until you make a large one with dozens of very large wheels (and downloading scripts to manage the torque and shit), it sucks. Its better to build a suborbital me mining vessel and mine using that.

@xyfdi yeah i had built it with a turret for mining and learned all our mods and settings were lost in the great crash.

i had to control it scriptless with the shitty vanilla controls for rotors and pistons. it got stuck :blobcatpuffytears:

Lol yeah, you end up with a centipede of a vehicle just to avoid getting stuck.

@xyfdi it wouldn't be so bad with the script block. i had tested using the mouse aimed turret script with mining on a turret that was pinned to the ground. it worked ok.

similar abuse of landing gear seems like it would be neat. but my tires kept not being able to grab anything which was a bit hmm.

i don't know how people tend to put up with planetary survival in this game :blobcatshrug2:

@icedquinn They fly around a lot and use the ore detection range mod.

@xyfdi we don't have cobalt yet :comfymelt: i did drive around on a shitty car with an ore detector near the end of the session though.
