Description
In their conflict against the rebellious miners of Mars, Corporations deployed their first construction vehicles – the sleek, nimble Janitors. Although based on a spacecraft model, they found their use in following the Hachikoma drones and recycling any wrecks left in their wake. Highly mobile and remotely operated, they could be called upon from a safe distance. (Interested in backstory? Stay tuned for an upcoming SE-themed novel at: https://www.facebook.com/LateSpaceAge/ )


The Janitor is a directly or remotely operated mobile salvaging and production base. It can refine iron, nickel and cobalt with its arc furnace and recycle/assemble anything you come upon. Autopilot doesn’t normally work for land vehicles, but since this one is floating, it works! This skimmer model is fast and able to traverse any terrain.

Instructions – add FRICTION to its wheels to deploy it. Set it to zero to enable movement. By default it is set for movement.

Armor: It’s a glass cannon. Literally. Being a large grid though, it can take some damage.

Weapons: Gatling turret, 3 interior turrets

Mobility: Full thruster control, gyro assisted

Role: Salvaging, basic construction, field repairs

Tested on Mars and Earth.

Stay tuned for other no-BS vehicles in this growing collection:

im running into a problem where the turrets attack the wheels automatically

@DarkSlayerEx - corrected the typo, thanks man!

so you are using the wheels as skid pads? ingenious! I was never fond of the wheel physics in SE all my ground based vehicles with wheels sucked :) you just gave me some great ideas

"Armor: It’s a glass cannon. Literary. Being a large grid though, it can take some damage."

Was that supposed to say Literally?

That said, this looks neat. Looking forward to trying it.

I've complained a lot about the dumb physical shape of those wheels, but i like people using it in such creative ways

What's the name of that music in the backround?

its really cool i agree with ghostln could be cool to have bunch of bots walking around ur base doing the dirty work whilst u enjoy the game:steammocking:

That's all it is - ideas for the community to build upon. Thank you for your feedback.

Awesome!

must admit i have been inspired to try once again build planet vessels, never knew you could use wheels this way to make a hovercraft.

All thou the one ive just made might be hmm slightly too big i guess, it crawles with 7-12m/s, but it could be the frontal thrusts maybe that blocks speed? at least i figured out why it didnt wanna autopilot, not enough gyros to turn fast enough for the AI :P

Anyways awesome ideas! :)
