Hello everybody thanks for your comment and sorry for the late reply. @tropicdome thank you. it should still be stable without thruster. but not as agile hope your having fun ;) @Mako & @Kaito about the timer blocks. it would be great if they can have a funtion like set to Height 49,5 ^^ or something like it. until then i use the 5% increments. one thing i discoverd is. you can put multipl same comments in one timer blocks at different hotbar. and increase by 15 % or 20 % that way.. Maybe thats the reason Mako is having trouble setting them up again ? @Moshiach glad you like it handing was the main goal in designing the Gaius :)
Kaito 18 May, 2021 @ 6:28pm 
The timers on this remind me that I keep meaning to write a generic script to allow setting specific values of things rather than "increment by 5%". I have no idea how to keep the timers working, they always seem to get out of whack.

A lot of fun to build and drive. Well designed and colored. Handles exceptionally well on all terrain. My new favorite factory model.
Mako 11 Mar, 2021 @ 4:17pm 
I made a version of this vehicle with two simple cockpits that looks almost identical (save the cockpits). This allows me to run with actual pressurized space for driver and passenger. The only thing I have not done yet is decipher the timer block settings to match the original. Reverse engineering that stuff can be a little tedious since they rarely show you precisely what things are being changed or set in the actions menu.
Mako 8 Mar, 2021 @ 12:55pm 
Awesome design. Fan of your others as well. My only complaint, and nothing you can do about it, is lack of pressurized cabin. Would be nice if Keen could allow you full glassed in cockpit and still have access to the seats. Makes it harder to use on planets with inhospitable biomes. :steamhappy:

Very nice design, I love it. Playing on a rover only server, so can't use the thrusters, but it is still a nice vehicle. I added a beacon, because it was needed to not be deleted. Great job.
