[AGI] ATV-8B (Miner)

Description
[No Mods]
[Survival Ready]

Description:
Functional tunneling vehicles utilizing pistons and rotors can be extreamly complicated to build and as such being out of reach for small colonies with inexperienced crews. Engineers in Argonaut Industries came up with a cheap alternative using the ATV-8A as a base and strapping mining drills upon it.
Drill Operating Hints:
- you can use right mouse button to clear large areas in front of the vehicle without collecting anything - with a little practice, you can dig tunnels (right click) large enough to drive in them, going up or down - when you have reached ore veins, you can even use this to drill ore (left click) if positioned right - by changing the two conveyor tubes next to the drills with pistons, you can make it even more useful
General Stats:
Length: 7,5 m Width: 4,5 m Height: 4,5 m Weight: 16,315 t (Without Cargo) Speed Limit: 80 km/h Total PCU: 2775
Technical Stats:
Power System: - 6x Battery (Small) Oxygen System: - 1x Air Vent Cargo System: - 1x Connector (Rear) - 2x Cargo Container (Medium) - 2x Ore Sorters Max Cargo Weight (Recommended): - 21 t (Realistic Block Inventory) Weapon System: - N/A Other Systems: - Antenna - Ore Detector - Reverse Camera - 2x Drills Seating Capacity: - 1x Cockpit Vehicle Handling: - 8-Wheel Drive - Gyroscope Handling Assistance Vehicle Maintenance: - Emergency Vehicle Flip System (Gyroscope Overide) - Projector With Blueprint

@5KM PEEK This is an old and simple version without any subgrids, so you can't move it up or down. You could try one of these versions for better functionality: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2591174925 https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2303109675 https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2981547850

how do you move the digging bit up and down?

@Nesano I've seen that happen at times in multiplayer but not really on singleplayer.
Nesano 8 Mar, 2023 @ 7:00pm 
Lol wtf now they're not clanging. I'll have to see if I can figure out what causes it and what fixes it.
Nesano 8 Mar, 2023 @ 6:15pm 
It doesn't work perfectly in singleplayer, the wheels rub together and get forced above and below each other.
Maeyanie 6 Jan, 2023 @ 11:51am 
That could be. Thanks for the response.
Smokki  [author] 6 Jan, 2023 @ 12:06am 
@Maey My guess would be that most people try this alone in singleplayer and on server things can be a bit more unstable. So where in singleplayer this setup works perfectly, in server it might not. Though I do remember using this on server without any problem a long time ago.
Maeyanie 5 Jan, 2023 @ 2:40pm 
Yeah, that's what we did... I was just wondering, since it apparently works for other people without needing that modification, what we were doing wrong. Or weren't doing right, as the case may be.
Smokki  [author] 5 Jan, 2023 @ 11:23am 
@Maey You could just rework the wheelbase so it has 3 pairs of wheels instead of 4.
Maeyanie 5 Jan, 2023 @ 9:44am 
Is there a trick to getting the wheels to not just rub against each other and clang? We tried this on my server and had to remove two of the wheels just to get it to move decently, even with steering off.
