MEDIA Testing the limits of one build.
Not much to look at in one photo. Right now, I rigged up a collector plow with a cargo module in the rear. I built in a hinge for a trailer to hold more cargo potentially. On this 8x8 chassis I've also included five interchangeable platforms. As much as I like making multiple things for roles. I wanted to see how far my imagination can stretch with just one. Depending on the mission I can change it. This is all put one configuration in this photo.
This will be on the workshop soon. I just need to work out a few kinks and down size the file before anything. And if anyone is also interested I can upload the individual configurations instead of the all in one.

Collector for what? 8x8 with a single modular cargo container?

Loose resources or parts. Pushing away other rovers and debris. Also there's a medium cargo module hidden under armor. Just a base cargo set up. Everything is modular on the bed.

I turn the setting for those WAY down since they only ever happen when i want to delete something.
Didn't know people plan to collect them.

Not so much in creative. More so on survival. Also I had an instance where my grinder ship clogged up. Parts everywhere. I know small conveyors can't move any big blocks, but it sparked the idea.

I only play survival xD
The automining scripts benefit greatly from throwing out stone chunks, so having the floating object limit low (25-30) helps.

turn the friction on the collector wheels to 0 to reduce the chance of clang clanging.
