Heavy Wheel Loader

Description
This is a Wheel Loader based mining vehicle using true articulated steering with pistons. Fully functional and survival ready (but printing it with a projector would be a joke)
WASD movement controls with mouse up/down controlling the loader arm and QE controlling the bucket tilt.
There are gyro override controls on the hotbar, this is used to damp out the jerkiness of the steering but can reduce the terrain hugging ability of the loader so turn it down on rough terrain.

This does use transparent LCDs for windows, if you do not have the DLC just replace them with a small grid window mod.

Articulated Dump Truck coming soon.

Uses the following scripts.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1760157651 For piston control.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1717592688 For Inventory fill percentage.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1445055239 For subgrid wheel control.

Link to a world version those those that want it. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1920223190

It seems sometimes when this vehicle is spawned in the controls might be inverted. I am not sure why this is but I think copy/paste might fix it. Could use more info from anyone that runs into that problem as its not happening on my end.

Awh man 😭. It looks very awesome, sucks I can't use it for survival though. Thanks for replying though, very cool that you still replied after the creation was made years ago~

you cant project subgrid parts with a projector. some vehicles with subgrids can be secured together with mergblocks or just small connection points then cut free and connected but this build is so complex its not really viable.

''(but printing it with a projector would be a joke)'' Why so? It looks awesome and I would love to try it in survival, but if it's a joke, then I'd rather not D:
