Kargada Heavy Excavator (No Mods, No Scripts)

AED Kargada is a multi-purpose, heavy excavator. It is designed for survival scenario use, so if you have instant projector or sub-grid project mods installed, you can use this. I made it out of sudden fascination with real life excavator controls. I found it a nice challenge if I can re-create it in Space Engineers. The controls is based on the ISO/CAT controls used on real life excavators. It's a bit clunky but it works. The build comes with a trailer full of tools you can easily swap out for the job at hand.


- Intuitive ISO/CAT-like controls (actual excavator operators can probably relate :D)
- Air-tight cabin and artificial mass blocks will let you use this in space or on the moon
- Automatic lights turn on when it's dark
- Easily accessible engine area
- Peek through but air-tight seat floor for easy mounting
- Multiple interchangeable tools available including Grinder, Welder, Collector, Ejector, and Drills + a Grappler!
- Unified tool controls lets you use tools in a familiar manner
- Powerful piston+hinge powered arms can lift heavy stuff
- How to Use infographic for ease of use in the cockpit
- Lots of storage

- Use mouse to control Boom and Bucket
- Use WASD to control Swivel and Stick
- Use C and Space to spin any tool
- [1] Control Arm Controller
