GER Bagger 300 - Bucket Wheel Excavator VANILLA

Hello Co-Engineers!

This is Bagger 300, a Giant Bucket Wheel Excavator. It is heavily inspired by Bagger 288, the biggest moving land vehicle on mother earth, that is working 24/7 near my hometown here in germany.

As always i tried to avoid mods. The only mod used is the letters mod, so it would work in a vanilla world.

It is fully functional, it can move but it is not very fast. It is designed for mining ice, ores that are close to the surface and to mine on hills and mountains. And of course It is survival ready.

If you get used to its controls it is easy to mine huge amounts of ore in no time.

Its functions and features:

-Fully functional - it drives and the bucket wheel arm is fully movable
-2 landing platforms for small ships
-everything is connected with catwalks, you won't need a jetpack
-everything is survival ready
-mess hall
-computer room
-observation deck
-big freight capacity
-3 cranes (they move but don't lift anything, there are no ropes or winches)
-the front cockpits can be lowered to provide a better view on the bucket wheel
-ejector arm to eject worthless stone


Notice:

- Because of the massive weight it can be tricky to paste it in.
- i recommend "right click drilling" to get rid of the stone surface fast
- the side connector is designed to fit to my "Bison Freight Transport Truck" from my Vehicle Collection.




***************** PLEASE READ THIS SHORT INSTRUCTION *************************

Maybe you've seen Arrons video and noticed the problems with the bagger bouncing around:

1. The bagger should stand on a flat surface so that all wheels have contact to the ground.
-- make sure the Handbrake is acticated.
2. When you start mining, lower the arm until the bucket wheel nearly touches the ground.
3. Turn on the bucket wheel rotation and use the right mouse button to remove the stone surface fast.
4. Slowly rotate the arm to the left and right.
5. Lower the arm just a little bit after every layer you removed.
6. When you reached the ressource, turn back to normal drilling.
-- You should always try not to slam the bucket wheel into the ground.
