You can crank up the speed. Experiment with it to find the best balance of speed and ice retrieval. It's an old design that needs an overhaul. Feel free to change the design to fit your needs and improve on it. Make it your own.

Thanks for the tips. It worked. I dropped the Hog onto an empty spot on the ice lake. It LIVES! Damn, is it slow, but it definitely moves, turns (sort of) and gobbles ice like a monster. I think I might try to use AI to get it to do a pattern then return to drop off the ice when full.

Yeah, use {Alt}-{F10} to go to the Admin menu, click on the top checkbox to activate creative mode, exit from that, then look at "the hog" and do a cut, i.e., {Ctrl}-{X}. Just don't paste it back. (I hope I'm remembering the steps correctly.) Remember to disable creative mode when you're finished with the process.

Will try. Is there a simple way to delete the old swine from the world in creative so I dont have to grind it down? <- Noobie

Tested on the Earthlike planet with a new start. Yeah, it works OK. Try going into the admin menu and giving yourself creative mode capabilities, then doing a cut-and-paste in a slightly different location. Spawn the Hog about half a wheel height above the ice lake, then paste it. The suspension can handle that short drop easily. Then turn off creative mode and try again.

Yikes. OK, that's weird. I don't know why that's happening. I spawned the critter into one of my pre-update saved creation games (new ship concept build) and it worked OK. I'll try a new start with the latest update.

I did. I just noticed that the wheels are also floating above surface of the ice. No attachment points anywhere I can find. Just floating, dude.

Try hitting "P" to release the parking break.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Stop by for Klang and a spider meat burrito.

Dunno. I haven't used that thing since Moby Dick was a minnow. It should work, but with Keen's latest update it wouldn't surprise me if everything it glitched. I'll check it out.

Trying to figure out how to get it to move forward. Wheels are on the ice, drills above the ice, power on, brake off. It wont move fwd or back. Any ideas? I laughed so hard I cried when I first saw this Boss. Had to have it. Great job. Now can you give me a push?

Also, I'm getting ready to upload a smaller version of this build called "Ice Hog Mini". It doesn't have O2/H2 generators or hydrogen tanks; it just collects ice for transfer to a processing station.

You can transfer hydrogen between grids by using a conveyor connector on each grid.

I didn't think you could transfer hydrogen between grinds yet
