Apologies for the lack of description. I didn't really intend this to be used by other people as it was just a build for my survival world. Hopefully I'll get someone to help me script it so it's more user friendly and then make the interior less crap. Edit: The connector on the bottom is intended for loading / unloading the resources and the conveyer system does connect to four large cargo containers but it appears the conveyers were broken.
If you swap the drills for grinders you could use it to grind down large ships that are landed on the ground or take down large pre-built bases and keep the resources you get from them
To me, out of all the industrial wheeled vehicles you have featured this one is about the most detailed and realistic. I would definitely use this one in a world set for proper industry.
That is a very well designed excavator,and your presentation is very well because she expose many problem of this vehicle. Just with a little contact with the wall of rock, the conveyor took so much damage and one part of the drill head avoid to dig correctly. Thank you for this lesson
The way you're probably intended to access the underside connector is by driving the machine onto a pad with a connector in the floor that is connected to your base's conveyor system.
reminds me of equipment i seen when i worked at the Turów Brown Coal Mine in Poland.... just massive equipment is as impressive to me in real life as mecha would be. so sick ty for showing this as it brought a bit of nostalgia back to me lol
just note especially to moving that thing around in 11:45 .. as it seems to be variation to bucket wheel excavators (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket-wheel_excavator ). those are more statically placed and swings their arm and scoop ore/rocks as they turn around the vertical axis on their base left to right (or vice verso). Once done their (semi)circle scoop, they move closer to wall and start another swing. Not usually moving whole machine by tracks while excavating.
Is a pretty cool craft, only flaw is the arms wont get clearance if you dig, less you rightclick mining. Still Impressive though :D Imagine an air vehicle with a large detachable array of cargo containers to leave on the pad would compliment this build nicely.
It's very pretty, but the many drills are too much micromanagement. It's work to unload rocks. I have a single-drill ship connected to storage and thrusters. It can tunnel with very little wiggling. Swap out those small drills for giant ones which extend the height of the vehicle, and then the rotary motor will serve its purpose.
But I've built something more practical. :D Small ship drill rover, far less technical things to go about it, and more reliable. Able to dig clean rectangular tunnels (with use of rotors (yea I'm old school)). It won't really be digging down any time soon, but the intended design for it was to dig tunnels.
@Zeihn Wise This was built to be cool and fun. I had gotten tired of building drill brick ships and wanted to make something more interesting to use and fun to look at.
@@odd_bobble9106 because it falls to peices. With 'Structural integrity' enabled it replaces the shield with an ability to maintain the integrity (not break upon impact etc)
Is it only me or is anybody else considering theese types of large vehicles so inefficient? Like I can't imagine using this for real drilling and mining. Yeah, it looks cool and all, but it's very inefficient imo.
@@nathanharrison2 Yeah, still no. Reactors not have conveyor connect, hydro engine and tons of cpu usage what makes it totaly unfit to 99% of the servers. Printing it with pistons, if you ever play with SE then you know, not a deal.
@@Papa_Nurgle i have played SE, and have done quite recently. if you know how to get around the pistons as they get projected, regardless of the reactors being not conveyered, you can get it done. the cpu usage can be worked around by only doing it in SP. reactors can be fixed with a row of extra storage running between them in rows, or with replacing the floor or roof with conveyers. all problems have solutions. its just a matter of thinking them through and seeing what needs to be done to get past them.

It's amazing how far SE has come. A few years ago something like this would've been yeeted into space instantly by the great lord Clang!
May we never forget the presence of the all powerful clang, lest he yeet us in his displeasure.
A few years ago there was only space so it wouldn't have been able eitherway xD

Hold up, did you just say survival ? Absolute madlad if you actually built this on survival.
John, it's fantastic.
Great work!
It drives a bit fast don’t you think?
Highly Underrated. Awesome build

I guess the connector on the underside is for connecting to an underground storage / refinery base for offloading and taking on Hydrogen.
The way you're probably intended to access the underside connector is by driving the machine onto a pad with a connector in the floor that is connected to your base's conveyor system.

Yet another well designed Space Engineer construction...
Thanx for the video!
That drill setup is dope. As a German I know about those things.
XD, over engineering, is the only engineering
Germans and their engineering🙄
Yes, the Germans and their top of the line drilling systems Ja, wir Deutschen haben Drills, die Ihr Herz begehrt.
@@parcival1575 If it moves, they will build it XD
@@jaykay9836 YAAA DE PANZER
Pretty obvious the connector on the bottom is for refueling when back at base.
Do you even play survival mode?
The connector on the bottom would be good for connecting to a base with a connector in the floor.
Absolutely, beautiful

I think the bottom connector is for docking Goliath to a base.

The drills should drop into cargo containers but it appears the conveyers were broken.
I cant get it to work =( I got the arms to move but cant make it turn or go forward/back. Anyone have any luck?
are you saying supplys, spy or lights at 1:45 when ur refering to the lights coz it sounds alot like ur saying either spys or supplys lol
Spotlights
can you make a build tutorial?
Be good if there was a lot of on-board cargo storage and a sorter to get rid if the stone.
Would be super cool to see a large excavating ship that uses these for mining asteroids
Coolness
I feel like the back should have all been heavy armor to represent the counter weight
HOW CAN WE JOIN THE DISCORD AND JOIN YOUR GAME ?
Nicely designed. Not very practical but looks cool👍👍
It probably has support vehicles for the storage problem.
You store all stone only in the drills because you damaged all the conveyor pipes near the drills.
11:00 is where he actually starts to drill
Vanilla player at this: this is top tier gear
Modded player at this: holt my beer i beginn to start unpack my tools🤣
Av drill
Tunnel drill
Atlas laser
Automated beam drill(turret function).
And this ar only the heads😁
Can u add to mod io
Cool, but can we mine _whole planets_
they should make a bagger next
Are you okay? Your intonation is making a few subtextual indications
yeah, seems reasonable

It's almost a bucket wheel excavator.
Suprised it's not on mod.io
needs shield mod on with structural integrity turned on :L
At what point would a large drum excavator need a shield???

Hi

tme-20000? More like THR-1000
12:20 in order to FINALLY start drilling on a 14:05 minute video smh. Talk much?
Sadly, this thing is not survival compatible.
it can be if you print it out without the pistons then hand attach them using the hinge connect.
@@nathanharrison2 Yeah, still no. Reactors not have conveyor connect, hydro engine and tons of cpu usage what makes it totaly unfit to 99% of the servers. Printing it with pistons, if you ever play with SE then you know, not a deal.
