Heavy Cargo Truck (Survival Ready/Vanilla/Optional DLC/Optional Script)

Description
Capable of carrying an absolutely staggering amount of ore over nearly any terrain, the United Worker's Union Heavy Cargo Truck is truly the miner's friend. Eight large cargo containers and 3 connectors in a reconfigurable orientation allow over 125,000 L of goods to be hauled. This truck design has been heavily used in survival and tuned based on much experience.

Features include:
* 2 cockpits to bring a comrade to work with you.
* A survival kit for simple repairs and to help recover from any jetpack-related accidents.
* Six wheels for a stable, smooth ride through rough terrain, with power to climb hills even while fully loaded.
* Scrape-free design ensures that the driver can confidently climb or reverse over 22.5 degree (2x1) ramps into bases and ships without accidental damage to the cockpit or rear.
* Dual power systems (Hydrogen Engine and Battery) ensure that the truck can run even without connection to a home base for extended periods.
* An antenna and ore detector.
* An air vent to supply the cockpit with oxygen when in toxic or cold but otherwise oxygen-containing atmospheres.
* A backup camera for easy loading and unloading.
* Easily reconfigurable rear connector box design to allow for top, side or rear loading and unloading
* Repair projector to easily fix any damage.

Maximum load varies based on terrain but the actual truck is extremely stable (Though front brakes might need to be disabled if desired) and with some work can be gotten up almost any hill while fully loaded. If the suspension starts twitching when backing onto blocks while fully loaded, disable airshock on all wheels.

Decorative Block cockpits are used, but non-DLC cockpits can be substituted and reconfigured using the hotbar layout below.

MMaster's "Automatic LCDs 2" script is used to show cargo, but is entirely optional and this truck can be used on scriptless servers with no issues.
