Description
Purpose
The Lontra fulfils the same role as the Nurina; lifting and moving other grids. Although the Lontra is larger and more versatile, in that it has a longer crane arm, various landing gear and an extra set of wheels.

The Crane consists of three landing gear in various orientations mounted via rotor on to two pistons. For stability when lifting heavy loads there are two stabilisers (landing gears mounted on hinges) on either side of the vehicle. Or for counterbalancing heavy loads when moving, there are eleven overridden gyroscopes.

Features
Tow Hitch & Piston winch - Toolbars 3 & 5
The Forward facing piston is a winch, designed to attach to the rear of any of the ISL trucks or trailers.

This vehicle is compatible with the following Trailers:
1. V.M.E Mobile Autocannon Trailer
2. V.M.E Single-Axle Survival Trailer
3. ISL - Gatling Turret Trailer
4. ISL - Missile Turret Trailer
5. ISL - Solar Recharge Trailer
6. ISL - Light Cargo Trailer
7. ISL - Hydrogen Storage Trailer
8. ISL - Survival Kit Trailer
9. ISL - Ore Detector Trailer
10. ISL - Medium Cargo Trailer
11. ISL - Medium Survival Trailer
12. ISL - Medium Solar Recharge Trailer
13. ISL - Medium Hydrogen Storage Trailer
14. [AGI] ST-65 Survival Trailer

However the vehicle will struggle with the Medium Cargo Trailer or Medium survival trailer if their containers are loaded.

Landing Gear Stabilizer & Gyro Counterweight - Toolbars 4 & 6
If movement isn't required, only lifting, the Lontra is able to anchor itself using landing gears on hinges (mounted on the either side). Or for moving with heavy loads, there are overridden gyroscopes to act as a counterweight.

Piston Lift - Toolbar 7
A small grid with 3 Landing Gears mounted on a 2 pistons and a rotor. See "Printable" section or screenshots for set up guide.

Printable
This vehicle is still considered "printable," however, there are 4 sub-grids; 2 landing gear (stabilisers), one hinge head (piston winch), and the crane head, which will be printed along with the vehicle.

After printing, using a set up such as this one, place and weld up the landing gear on the left and right hinges as shown in the screenshots, then add them to the " Lnt-R Landing Gear Stabilizers" group for the toolbar button to function.

Also place and weld up the hinge head onto the head of the forward facing piston, in the orientation shown in the screenshot.

To attach the crane head to the piston, follow along with the screenshots:
1. Remove the head from the rotor.
2. Place and weld up another piston on top of the upward facing piston on the right side of the vehicle. Place a rotor head on to the top piston head and weld it up.
4. grind down the light temporary armour blocks painted red to detach the crane head (starting from the top).
5. Press the button on the rotor to attach it to the piston. Set up Complete.

Timer Block
TB Safe Crane Detach - Turns off counterweight gyroscope override and unlocks lift landing gear. This is to prevent unlocking landing gear while gyro override is still on, which may result in the vehicle pitching backwards rapidly.

Excellent build here mate, it does so much (I don't know what it does yet) yet it's laid out neatly so if someone put's in the time they will be rewarded, IMO. :steammocking:

Yeah, no problem, I know that such big things need a while, anyways thanks, I'm taking a little break from Space Engineers, so I'm not sure if I will saw it on the workshop.

Definitely, but as you probably saw with the Flatbed trucks, it may be a while
◔◡◔ Sh1bE ◔◡◔ 25 Feb, 2022 @ 8:14am 
Wait, so you are planing to make another version of this truck but with MART arm ?
(MART - Mouse Controlled Turret) If yes, please notify me when it's done.
Spite  [author] 25 Feb, 2022 @ 4:52am 
between turret controllers and scripts, that shouldnt be hard
Dots 25 Feb, 2022 @ 2:37am 
@Spite - Lets hope that mk2 lets you lock the landing gears and have the the use of a mouse to control the arm sort of like you do it with a advanced turret style. You would be able to grab stuff thats on the ground but also stuff thats on the floor, lift it up and carry the remains of downed drones to be salvaged.

Sorry for not letting you know Sh1bE.

And Dots, it is a bit weird, but this was when LG was our only mag lock option, might to a MK 2 that is a bit more sleek ;)

@Sh1be - They do have a Flatbed - a year later..
