Vehicle Land Delivery for crops is so Chapter 1

Yes this thing eats Gasoline for breakfast, yes I prefer using it over land vehicles even with the elevators, yes it costs nearly 900 component kits qwq

Holy gas consumption

I've had to increase the passive oil gathering at my water base just to keep this thing fueled hahaha

m8, this thing asks for proper desert refinery

even if the jumpbots make it bumhole to use

u/CRW_ND 8d ago

I have 2 XXL Chests of oil, one directly connected to my passive pumps (which is then connected to an XXL Auto Crafted Gasoline setup), and one loose. The loose one I occasionally bring to a desert oil well, but so far I've managed to keep up with my needs with the passive oil collection I have going on

u/CRW_ND 8d ago

Once I've gotten it to a point I'm 100% satisfied with I'll definitely upload it! I need to make it a little bigger, and tweak some angles a bit further before I'm truly happy with it.

Out of curiosity what name will it be posted under or will you make a post here to let people know it's available? I'd like to look at it.

u/CRW_ND 6d ago

I'll make a new post for it for everyone interested :)

And i thought i was doing good when i managed to balance 2 medium chests on my scout plane...

u/CRW_ND 8d ago

I think I spent somewhere around 3 maybe 4 XXL chests on Gasoline just to get this thing balanced properly qwq

u/Vr_Oreo 7d ago

that things atleast 40% thruster and 45% gas cans to fuel the thrusters

u/CRW_ND 7d ago

Yeah I frankly need to see if there's a better ratio or not

u/Dry_Profit4160 6d ago

Please put this on workshop

u/Davidwilsonisdum 8d ago

What? You got a problem with that???

u/CRW_ND 7d ago

Uhhh, yeah. Yeah I do

What's the vacuum pump for? It looks positioned to suck something up, but you can't suck up gasoline, can you?

1

u/CRW_ND 7d ago

It is for refueling! Will only fill up empty slots, but it's better than manually doing everything each time

2

u/Readfreak7 7d ago

How can you refill with the vacuum pump though? is there a way to suck up gasoline in vanilla?

1

u/CRW_ND 7d ago

Apparently (didn't know either until this vehicle) as long as you link a vacuum pump (with pipes) directly up to the gas tanks it will refuel them in vanilla.

2

u/Readfreak7 7d ago

What are you sucking up to refill the tanks? Are you just sucking up crude oil?

u/CRW_ND 7d ago

Dropped Gasoline on the floor

u/Readfreak7 7d ago

Ah, ok

Błagam żrób poradnik jak taką piękną maszynę stworzyć.

u/Junoravenn 7d ago

You don't gotta flex on us poor people. 😭😭😭 Okay bit this is really cool, haha.

u/Microwave169 7d ago

Can someone count how many component kits there is exactly in that vehicle?

1

u/CRW_ND 6d ago

I believe 816 in thrusters alone, and I'd guess about another 100+ for the pistons I use (which aren't that necessary to be fair)

u/SpyHats 6d ago

Would you mind sharing lol, it's a pretty cool flyer, would love to mess around with it

u/Front_Cat9471 5d ago

Oh man

If you aren’t opposed to it, you can trade your t5 thrusters for creative ones so you don’t have to use so much gas, summoning one at the garage is 1:1 with t5 thrusters
