LLI "Moby" Mobile Construction Platform

Platform Construction Has Never Been Easier!
Here at Lamplight Industries we’re always trying to revolutionise colony construction, and our Mobile Construction Platform, who we call Moby, is at the forefront of construction.
Moby uses state of the art Low Clang Rotor Technology (LCRT) to allow any prospective colonists to attach large grid technology to small grid rovers.
Moby was originally designed in 2091 as a way to transport and utilize refineries within a compact package, however in 2094 when the first pods on Mars started landing we redesigned Moby to be better than ever. Moby is not only capable of traversing any and all terrain, but also Moby’s load capacity is so high you can even tow your base along with you, provided Moby doesn’t have to pull it off of it’s foundation.

But How Do I Use It?
1. Well, we here at Lamplight Industries know that user manuals are all the rage nowadays. However due to severe ink shortages, we’re going to make this brief.
2. Drop a large grid rotor part into the big square tray at the back.
3. Hold “X” to compress your suspension, and enable the landing gear to prevent total clang outs.
4. Open up your control panel, select the rotor, then select “Attach”
5. Proceed to build large grids on top of said rotor. With Moby’s survival kit, and impressive cargo capacity, you have everything you need to set yourself up! Not to mention Moby’s three connectors, merge block, and reasonable power source allows you to even use Moby as part of your platform while you’re still getting established.


Background
I play a highly nomadic survival campaign, often littering planets and moons with multiple small bases since large grid rovers can prove unwieldy at best. Enter Moby. Moby probably has more use in survival than any other vehicle I’ve made, either as a temporary station to slap a refinery on so that I don’t have to drive all the way back to base after every mining trip, or to set up a new base, hell a couple times I’ve liked a base so much I’ve used Moby to take it with me, though that doesn’t work for my larger pieces. Generally I find the best way to use moby, is to get an on-base power plant running, then use Moby’s connectors to hook up to the base so that you can use the survival kit a little more easily, and fluidly with the rest of your base.

For Creative Players: Just paste Moby straight in, and everything should work as intended.
For Survival Players: Blueprinting Moby means you have to attach the rotor part yourself, but don’t worry, the caging around the rotor means dropping a part in is super easy, believer me, I’ve done it dozens of times. Plus, even if you don’t want to use Moby as a construction platform, it works super well as a general rover since it’s so stable, and you can replace the rotor with a large cargo container if you feel so inclined.
