Description
Engineered by Trinity Combat Dynamics

The Pathfinder mobile travel base (MTB in short) is a large land crawler specifically designed for long-distance travel on land while providing all of the survival needs for the personal crewing it. Designed to be self-sufficient with only need for fuel and o2 from the outside as well as equipped with its own production systems The MTB Is a perfect example of a potential colony on wheels.

The vehicle has a special suspension build alloying it to keep moving on the heaviest terrains out there. from bumpy grounds to steep hills the MTB is able to bring itself and its crew to the most difficult place reachable on land, from deep canyons to high snowy mountains.

The Trinity Combat Dynamics see the Pathfinder as the first stage of mobile planetary colonies.

I'd say rather fast. Handbrake don't have any effect on the speed.

Is the movement rather fast or very slow?
The handbrake of the wheel control script dosent work the best

every time I spawn it, it starts to move on it's own like throttle is on by default.

also i love this so much that i dug out a hole in a mountain and am making a garage for it right now.

one thing i have noticed is it likes to roll away even with the park brake on. its very slow at it but it will eventually get away from you lol

@Lilin Odd, from all the tree ram testing I'v done this never happaned, nerther on this vehicle and any other of my creations.

I gently bumped into a tree while driving it, and the whole vehicle went berserk and started rolling around in air and tearing it self apart until there was just scrap left.
This was in offline singleplayer, I imagine it would be much worse in multiplayer.

This game will never be fun... :steamsad:

@C3ncio Thank you!
I can agree having this subgrid suspension makes it less useful in survival But the Idea was in my head and I had to let it out, I realy hope keen one day will add a concept allowing you to build projected ships with subgrids in some way.

@D3RP if you are copy-pasting it, be sure to do it pretty far from the ground. If the wheels or another part of the vehicle will spawn too close to the ground it will just freeze there, like a station.
I had the same problem and solved just pasting the Pathfinder a little bit more up in the air.

@RangeRunner Incredible build, im really loving it. Need to say, it's more beautiful than usefull in a survival game but... it's too gorgeous to not use it. I'll split your grids in to multiple blueprints so i'll be able to build the Pathfinder with a projector in a proper survival game. I've done it with lot's of other small vehicle and i can't hold myself to see what i will need to do to assemble this monster.

Congratz again!

@D3RP Do you have ingame scrips enabled in your world? The vehicle runs on working scrips to move.
