[AGI] LTV-73 Plutus (Light Tunneling Vehicle)

Description
[No Mods]

Important:
- When connecting trailer to the vehicle, reverse carefully while checking the rear camera so that the vehicles hinge part lines up with the trailers hinge part, then attach the trailer using the toolbar controls. It may take some practice to get used to. - The mining arm controls are made possible by a script, so in order to use it as intended, have scripts enabled in the world. - If you plan to use this on survival gameplay, check out the [SAK] LTV-73 Plutus by Nekron910
Description:
Designed as a compact light tunneling vehicle, the LTV-73 Plutus is praised as one of the most reliable and easy to use tunneling and mining vehicle of it's scale. Due to it's scale, cargo space and speed is very limited. For this reason LTV-73 is often operated together with a truck and transported into a mining site with a trailer.

@Wesley9516 Well it can be a bit complex to use for sure, requires a bit of training first. If it keeps flipping you need to make sure you are not trying to drive in too steep angles. It requires quite careful operating. If your hydrogen engine has run out of hydrogen and batteries out of power you are in a bit of a problem though this creates a nice small challenge for you to engineer an solution to get it out of the cave. You could for example build a ship or rover that you can then use to lift it out of the cave, then add a battery and connect it to your station to recharge.

Oh lord. Cna you help me. I got this thing working in survival but it keeps flipping and has no power whats so ever. I cant get it out of a cave and its DRILLS keep exploding when i try to flip it.

@Ranger Nice job, it does look better than my first experiment trying to make the ATV-8B with hinges :D

Hey Smokki hope you don't mind but I combined the ATV-8B with the Plutus and posted it with all credit going to you. I just did a bit of blah with it and now its got the stuff I love from both.

@Slashaar I haven't really found any problems personally while using them this way. I actually had plans to leave more space between the wheels originally, but it didn't look nearly as good and I wanted to make this as compact as I could.

The wheels overlap each other and make it near impossible to drive. Needs a one block spacing between them ideally.

Nice job, I'll add a link to my description to recommend your version for survival gameplay :)

Done. Now, we can use this miner in survival and make some semi-auto assembly lines/ https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2607984445

@Nekron910 Thanks, and nice job! Absolutely, go ahead and publish it. No need for co-authorship, just give some credits, or add a link to this one so everyone knows it was ok for me :)

@Smokki Hello, comrad! I'm realy enjoy this little miner and made SAK (survival assembling kit) for it. Do you mind the publication of the blueprint for this kit (with the indication of co-authorship, of course)? Demonstration video for survival mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeDqDlBNGbk
