WHI - Rover Transport MK4
(Updated 2020-04-24 to fix scrips and LCD settings)

The Workhorse Industries' new Rover Transport is a one man, heavy duty ore transporter carrying its own short range mining drone. Equipped with 10 large containers the RT is capable of carrying several loads of ore in one package, reducing the amount of runs back and forth between ore site and drop off point. Now also equipped with a new experimental automatic recharge system that automates battery settings.

General Information
Crew/Players: 1
Grid Type: Small.
Role: Planetary Miner / Ore Transport.
power source: Batteries.
Terrain: Ground (rover) and Atmosphere (drone).
Controls: Cockpit (rover) and Remote (drone).
Weapons: None.
Scripts: Yes. ("Automatic LCDs 2" & "Isy's ship refueler")
Mods: None.
DLC: Yes.

Drone Blueprint: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1698689945

Tips and Other
* Button 6 both takes control of the drone and triggers the TB to dock/undock, making taking control and launching quick and easy.
* Park your rover right behind (or is it in front?) the mining hole so when your drone exits you just have to reverse onto the docking pad.
* Turn on rear wheel steering for sharper cornering (default button 5), just be mindful this may cause flipping in high speeds.

Rover is awesome - huge upgrades in cockpit visibility and telementary / UI for first person from Mk 3 version. Though sadly, I'll have to stick to mark 3 as the size upgrade means it no longer fits in my ship :(

I'll probably make a mining rover myself at some point - though I doubt I'll be able to do as good a job :)

Not sure, but I suspect it might be Isy's ship refuler script doing it.

why does it enables itself after a while of being turned off?

If you're talking about the drone, then you can remove stone from the sorters 'whitelist' or disable the function that makes it pull items through them and the ejectors. I believe it's called "Collect all" or something along those lines.

Is there a way for it to stop spitting out stone?

Hia Pang. The thrusters are there to help it move up steep hills when it carries a full load, or help it brake when going down hill.

This is fantastic. I'm new to Space Eng, but your attention to detail is really inspiring. Question, what are the thrusters on the rover for?

that would be great i understand your worry. i would only want help with this through discord. thank you for responding so quick

The drone needs to be docked to the truck to see it in the list of blocks to add to the control panel.

I prefer not to add people but if you really want to then maybe I could add you to discord or something.
