Description
"Apex Sappers. Recruited and trained on Earth for the sole purpose of recycling the entire planet. Sev traced a pale line between the ruins that was leading straight to the spaceport. The area ahead was teeming with activity. A fleet of cargo haulers, much like the one he was currently piloting, were pouring in and congregating around the refinery complex. They were towing bits of cargo and junk, carelessly dropping them in the central collector, a funnel-like tower surrounded by smoking spires.

From the novel: “Janitors of the Late Space Age”




Engineering Core is a highly mobile construction base that can be transformed into three useful vehicles. They contain everything you need to land, search for minerals, refine them, construct a base or provide engineering support.

The Production Core is a compact, efficient mobile refinery. It also has a medbay, assembler and an ore detector.

The Salvaging Core is a slower but more durable vehicle, able to lift heavy cargo or damaged vehicles and tow them home for repair. It has an assembler for field repairs or recycling.

Finally, the Mobility Core provides a little bit of firepower and a lot of lifting power, able to transport all the vehicles to anywhere in the Solar System.

The large grid chassis is very stable on the ground, I’ve tested it even on 0.7 G planets and they were good. I hope you will enjoy building with them. The Production Core is a great little vehicle on its own.



Hey, I’ve written a science fiction novel titled: "Janitors of the Late Space Age" inspired by Space Engineers. This here is Apex Sapper team I’ve recreated. If you are looking for something to read - you can get it from Amazon as an electronic book or paperback.

@KiJa - A heavy lifter! Ofcourse I don't mind, go ahead!

These are pretty neat, and I've reporposed the Mobility Core into a super reliable planetary lift vehicle, added a few items to fit with what I needed. It now has a walk in crew space with med bay and is fully pressureized. Also added two moew oxygen generators and 4-5 O2 tanks as well.

The Merge blocks were moved to the new platform that was built on top. It has been to space and returned twice now with only a slight problem on the first trip. The lack of downward thrusting units made the delivery of it's payload a bit trickier than expected, but that was corrected by a redisgn of the hydrogen thrusters and added an antenna and beacon as well.

Would you mind if I were to publish the resulting craft? I will give you credit for the original design.

@KKKek or you can do what's called "reverse engineering"
i hate you rara 18 Jul, 2017 @ 4:44am 
a blueprint to the core only would help me repair it if you don't mind?
i would post one myself but i wouldn't like to "steal" the potential subscribers.
(i tend to reinstall the game files pretty often and lose the blueprints i make)

@ColTeH / good idea! I must admit that I'm a noob when it comes to scripts. Lifting arm works fine as it is though. These three vehicles are intended as bare bones, initial tools for making a start on any planet, so I imagined them to be rugged and super-simple.

@parkasever why not use the turret script for the arm and have it be fully controllable?
