PLEASE make a 2-4 container version or how much nontainers you want i really need a vehicle like this automatic that can carry more PLEASE

yeah, as long as you set it to within 500m of the BVG island it should be okay. The random map generator places islands on a grid that is integer multiples of 1000m, so if you input the GPS close enough it will snap to the grid.

Sorry, I meant within the bounds of the island (which I presume is always the same shape), regardless of where it is in the world or how it is rotated, should we be specifically aiming for the exact section where the containers will be detected as delivered (eg: https://i.imgur.com/wrmMRTL.png) and if so, can we please have an image of the map with that area identified added to this workshop page for ease of reference?
Or can we just whack in "As close to the middle of the island as possible" and the drone will figure out the best landing zone when it gets close enough?

I'm assuming from your response it's the latter, so thanks for that, it's a great relief!

you can see the coordinates of the BVG island when you open the map, it's way up north, and is randomly generated with every game, so I don't know where it is in your game. you don't need the precise coordinates, anywhere within 500m of the center of island is okay.

Could I please request a close-up screenshot of the proper GPS location to set for BVG Logistics be added to the gallery?
Or does it handle placing it literally anywhere on the island?

thx

you need to make sure the top connectors of the container are set to "On" by clicking on the arrow buttons on the container

i can't attatch it to the container

cani use it in manual? and if so how?

you need to manually input the coordinates of the BVG island into the key pad, because the BVG island's coordinates is randomly generated.

I dont think the bvg button work

where did you send it to? it could take 20 minutes or more to return, but if it flies through lightning storm it could crash. random crashes is also not impossible.

i press the button but it just doesn't return

i don't see a bvg logic button to send it to the only i one i see is the one way but i want to come back and do more?

space bar i think

How do i toggle the heater?

This is definitely a money printer

yes there are buttons for the desert island delivery locations

Wait can it do the industrial frontier island?

That's so cool!

yeah, have a container loaded and push a button for its destination on the side.

Subscribed to it last night, just whatiched the video now and- hold on, it can auto fly!?

Love it

best career vheicle on the workshop

SO GOOOOD i got struck by lightning and it recovered it self wile i was looking at the workshop

are you using a mod? some mods have different connection logic. if not try clicking on the triangle buttons on the container to toggle their connectors

i wen't to rescue a container and the conectors didn't work, maybe they are diferent ?

its impossible to line up

Yo, a transport with 2 container would be a lot more complicated because the center of mass and air resistance would shift depending on how many containers you got loaded, it would it additional sensors and clutches to manage it. The current setup is much simpler because the center of mass of the empty craft is aligned with the container.

This is amazing! i just have one comment, could you make another type carry 2 or even 4? But other than that it's amazing!

did you calibrate the BVG coordinates with the keypad before sending them out? also how long did you wait, it can take up to 40 minutes round trip I believe, maybe even more if there is headwind

so like i sent 3 out to bvg freight but they haven't arived nor returned yet possibility they crash while traveling?

go from 20 dollar train yard, to north harbor, u get to fly through the volcano's smoke!

This Thing is amazing. Best mod ever :).

nevermind

when i press the button it doesnt start

Thanks!!!

My guy. This thing is amazing. I've got five running at any given time and its enabled a beginner like me to get more money then i ever thought possible. I swear if I can get half as good at creating as you have with this thing then i will be thrilled. Amazing work, friend!!!!

good

I'm absolutely amazed by how elegant and simple you've managed to make this build while allowing for manual control alongside the automatic modes of operation. I'm going to be spending at least a little time figuring out where to put 1 or 2 dials (perhaps an instrument panel) to give a some indication of height above ground (or sea level, or both) but I'm really hesitant about adding anything like a video monitor for that purpose, because as-is it has excellent framerates too.

it's on the left pylon, above the left hull.

I can't find the vehicle's fuel port and i feel incredibly stupid

Me and my friend are having trouble connecting it to a cargo crate and the video wasn't that clear. Other than that this works great! Is there any way to solve this or are we doing something wrong?

great to hear you like it

I have a convoy of them now, you have made the start of Stormworks so much better, not so grindy, all im doing is keeping an eye on the fuel and ive made money so quick ive got my oil rig running so im refuelling from there, I know you can just add money but then there is no point playing, Ive never kept doing cargo runs before as I could never find anything worth using, Ive not looked at how you and Xvunuthut have managed to have the way points programmed in but its true genius, the power of such a compact machine is fantastic.

This is one if not the best vehicle to start in career mode with, I made 300K in my first day just moving containers, I disconnected the seat occupied, just while im doing all the runs myself and added a couple of cables and first aid kits, It runs like a dream, the folding mechanism is a great touch, enabling me to get into tight spots. When I have enough money to do another career, ill put the seat occupied back and try some auto missions with it, all round, a very nice design.

I think it's probably a good idea to add gas relief, most of these vehicles were built before it was needed.

Don't know if it's actually needed, but for my own peace of mind I modified this slightly to add gas relief valves for the fuel tanks. I will not be releasing the modification though. It's easy enough to do, but the internals where I did it are a bit cramped, making it difficult to see things properly.

I found the internal piping arrangement to be interesting and managed to find a good spot internally to add the gas valve and a fluid port so there's nothing draggy sticking out. Also found out the engines are air cooled (seemingly without pumps, even), which is neat as I didn't think that could be done in SW.

I thought They all were? But ok then lol Thanks for the info

Thanks for the kind words @Badger

@Reaper, the locations of the cargo terminals are not randomized except BVG in the arctic.
