Atlas M-42 Mobile Research Base - Space Engineers 

Hello I am the creator of the Rover, thanks for all the positive feedbacks. And thank you for the great video.

1:51 "Just a few DLC blocks on the thing" Me: UM, THAT IS NOT A FEW, THAT IS ALL MY DLC'S COMBINED BRO

This is the coolest rover I’ve seen so so far

This rover is EPIC. Only one small problem. Nothing is connected. If you try and load the reactors, none of the containers or conveyors connect to any of the reactors that are buried in the armor. So far I couldn't find any refineries or assemblers that are usable too. Usability in survival mode score 0/10. Looks score 10/10 :)

This feels so much like something that could exist in real life.

that looked so much bigger on the inside than the outside wow

This rover is quite amazing. It would be great for both group survival or a role play community.

Seeing things like this make me want a game that has the engineering/building creativity of Space Engineers, the physics of KSP, and the survival of Stationeers, with regular growing enemy wave option and seasonal weather option.

Defo gives me a few ideas. Usually my research rovers are quite open.

That is an excellent looking rover for a first attempt

Watching the interiors, the hangar back area and the catwalks gave me a lot of happy chemical

gotta love the exposed twin MRI scanners next to the shelf full of sheet metal LOL

been trying to build rovers but im not too good at accepting my builds. always had a hard time in games where i build my own stuff. Have built some cool ships though. i get inspired from videos and builds like this. keep it up guys i love to see everyones work

Got an idea for it: obviously no one can replace that wheel so on top of the truck, build a mobile crane that lifts a spare wheel and moves it into place

Amused. I LOVE the spare tire! Everyone always overlooks a spare tire.

DAMMM never seen such a good rover, so compact, so tanky, everything fits so well together perfectly

Wow!!!!!!!! Just wow! I'm speechless on this. what a coo rover to do some kinda of mini series on mars or something on, maybe a colonization effort? I definitely got some inspiration from this design. a lot of the flow from it is what I love. I love building some cool ships, I might go the extra meter to put in such great detail. Love the Review LSG. Awesome man!

Now I want to see a survival series about a Drone research team. lol Too bad that isn't likely.

Reminds me of a baserunner from homeworld: deserts of kharak. Very Amazing design!

If I know anything about big vehicles, those orange glowing panels don't seem to be wires, more like they are standing in for safety reflectors, like how the stares are standing in for light grates to protect the flood projectors

One of the best, if not THE best big rover I've ever seen. Top tier!

I love that the hab windows are behind the exhaust xD

i'm loving what hes done to make the ship look amazing with all of the new blocks in the games, absolutely stunning. there are more dlc blocks in that rover than vanilla blocks lol

One of the coolest rover designs I've ever seen

You could easily weaponize this rover into something very destructive

Just a beautiful build. Love it

This vehicle is based off the Kodiak Command ACV from the Dropzone Commander tabletop game!

Incredible rover! Thanks for the showcase!

That thing is super cool, such nice detail throughout!

This art style is so similar to mine, almost like a 50 year in the future NASA, or a spin off of Interstellar. This totally gives me the motivation to finish my build, I've got a shuttle with jettisonable launch boosters, and a lander (which both are fit with rovers). WHICH ALSO ALL fits into a deep space range extender with capacity for TWO shuttles/booster/lander combos for additonal thrust and FTL capabilities. All have highly detailed interiors, and will eventually have it's own world scenario. I've probably put in over 4 days into this. It was supposed to be a simple remodel of an old design I did years ago, and I just never stopped building... Look out for the Pegasus Valkyrie in the next couple weeks :)

Great job making everything look detailed and not blocky

Funfact: You can use the Windturbine if you Lock The Vehicle with an Landingear on the Ground(or an Station) and as long as the Turbine is on the Same Subgrid as the Landinggear it Will generate Power

amazing and creative

If the original Battlestar Galactica and Space:1999 had a baby, this vehicle would have been the star.

Wonderful ..Excellent work SE

Man thats smashing, well done 👍

9:11 we're getting towards the front of the little rover here yes...... "little"

Its freaking awesome, but, its also quite a big target, hypothetically speaking, unless we can invent forcefields, or have some really advanced anti (whatever) defence mechanisms and such for protection, I could only dream,(and would love) to see something like this be made for real!

That is really really beautiful creation.

Some people are just absolute madlads

This is their FIRST ATTEMPT? Da-yummmmmmmmmm

Looks just like a scaled up version of a Boxer APC. I would know, I tried making one myself 😅 the plates separating the wheels are very characteristic as well.

Pimp my rover... rover pizzimpt! Bayammm!!! It's very well thought out as far as functionality, scripting etc. I like the paint job. I'd like to see a version that added some more color variation in the interior.. just enough to outline specific areas of interest or make important equipment stand out... like armories and exits for example. But those are tiny opinions. The thinh is fantastic.

this is a great looking rover

beautiful mobile base.

Craz would love this

that wind turbine on top could as well be (aesthetically) for measuring wind speeds on the planet

I never truly understood huge and massive builds. I've seen people build massive castles and entire cities. Creative and fun to watch but id never build what i don't truly need. If every fit in a 4x4 room that be my base😂

would love to see some small but functional ships. Im new to space engineers and dont got the friends to play this with so would love something I can live out of.

Holy fuck ya move the camera around like a god damn squirrel. Chill bro lol

This is so awesome.

Its better to use Atmospheric Thrusters or mods to float over the surface. Where my base started, there is just no way wheels would work. There are trenches and large clifts. Big holes and no way to the target but to build roads. I considered building a wheeled mining vehicle but would have to create a ship that would airlift it from place to place. Just easier to build something based on Repulsor Engines. Then have a tug ship lift the large cargo containers to a ship above. This way to vehicle can use its mining rig and swap out storage when full. The ship returns to a ground base and docks. Thus the materials are lifted to orbit via the space elevator. You can then create modular ships. These use docking connectors for inside and the armour outside. Only the engine modules, with gyros and the bridge need be merged. The allows truely massive ships. You have to be very careful how you build them. You can then create standard modules for any ships. Want to fly in an atmosphere, then there is a module for that. You just print that module and then a tug ship adds it to the main vessel. Need a base? Build the connectors on the ground. Then print the base modules and airlift them to the target area. You can build conveyors to key locations like Ice Lakes. Then have big circular miners farm so much ice you cant store it. Huge space miners just farm whole asteroids and ship built with massive storage take it back to production sites. With the right blueprints (STC printouts) and a blueprint module printer (STC constructor). You can expand very quickly. Everything you do can be broken into parts and those parts can be used everywhere. Then you can use projectors to create tunnels, space elevators and conveyor networks. You keep each part in sections, broken by connectors and pistons. So long as you build within the limits and segment as required. You can create wonders, like a lift from an Earth like planet to the moon. Your computer resources become the limit.

I would say the “wires” on the side are actually meant to be clip lights. Now it’s just a guess, but I’m basing it on the locations and the amber/orange color. Just a dim safety light on bigger vehicles and trailers.

This thing is so bad arse!

We still remember when you posted this kind of videos saying you were the author of the builds, internet never forgets.

You don't need to convert to a station to use Wind Turbines. As long as the vehicle is stationary and locked to the ground, they will generate power. Did it for my ship to essentially make it run purely off electricity from multiple sources (cause electricity is imo the better way to go if you can use it for everything rather then constantly search for multiple sources) It ran off Atmospheric and Ion Thrusters only, ensure the ship only ran off electricity through all 4 different methods to generate electricity as needed, nuclear, Solar, Wind, and an Hydrogen Engine in case of emergencies (also cause the ship was one I got from the economy mode that I heavily modified, I did NOT want to try and remove the Hydrogen Tanks, so they just ended up being hooked up to a hydrogen engine and a healthy amount of protection that wasn't there before). Most of the time I kept the hydrogen engine off, and ran mainly off solar and Nuclear, turning off the nuclear once I landed on a planet and recharged exclusively with wind and solar (doesn't take very long to recharge at all with 8 good charging turbines and 8 solar panels out in full sunlight). Even added 2 Refiners and a Production modual into it, making the ship entirely self sustainable as a mobile base that's extremely energy efficient, and has added turrets for asteroid and pirate protection, plus a vehicle bay below the rear landing bay (no ramp atm due to a physics glitch causing the ship to eternally roll when I had a folding ramp implemented, and then remove to fix the roll). The ship is now essentially meant for 1 person due to not having much internal space to allow multiple beds, but its got everything a Space Engineer would need, with efficiency, and sustainability at the heart of its design.

So pluses: Detail work is amazing! Minuses: Cockpit is inefficient. In rovers as such driver seat should be in hang one cockpit, providing him visibility under the wheals and only limited on front (more for command deck). Sadly too many players treat rovers like ships, providing them visibility in opposite direction then those should be. Also hangar is quite inefficient. It take lot of space but can hold only small dedicated rovers. It would work way better with proper cargo section and helipad.

Love these videos!

i tend to have to rig up suspension strength to the hot bar while driving because theres not one single setting that is just right from my expersince.. things like cresting over tends to need firm suspension while birms like soft suspension

I like these videos

Looks sort of like the HAVw A6 Juggernaut tank from Star Wars

One of the better, well thought out non mod builds in a long time. Nice attention to detail. Sadly you can't employ or enable those bridge displays in a public Keen server as they disable scripts.

awesome

I Love it! Wheels vehicles are always tricky in this game, but this rover can be very usefull to me, I plan to build a other base like 2km away from where I am, so this rover can help carry my stuff and just act as a temporary base. Just a question... Yes the shield generator it's a good idea, but 6 solar panels are enough to substain the shield all day and the batteries all night??

I'd be more interested in that planet seed, those canyons are so evocative.

That'd look great in Deserts of Kharak.

looks like something the coalition use from Homeworld desert of kharak

Well done.

love the shape of the front but i hate it because if you crash into something that nice bevel finish needs to be fixed. Thats why i drive a big ol brick.

More than anything these videos make me play engineers less and less

living on an exo planet on an RV hell yeh

For me the design inside the rover is asking some quake or doom monsters

I thought about an other Atlas. But that was a mech and build for scouting.

Love your vids man, what do I have to do to see one of my creations in one of your videos?I think they're worth it.

Wtf that rover is the size of Canada inside XD

i dont think those are suppose to be wires but amber running lights or clearance lights

A spare tire rack on the back? I don't see the crane and forklift they will also need to change a tire?

There should be a wasteland server where it starts out with a few factions and every faction can have 1 workshop item anything that not modded and it not a massive superlaser. And if this is vanilla then they could get this. Would be entertaining. Amd if they lose it they have to go on making new stuff cuz i dont see anyone making this in survival . Or the faction has to be really big to make this on the side.

The speed is verry good for the size 30m/s = 108km/h or 67Mi/h

nice

Wow I wish I could build like that.

It's basically a giant RV

The community probably needs help getting 4-6$ content packs. most of us don't understand that it's supporting the continued development, and can trade a snack at the store for the sum of DLC once every couple of months. If you enjoy the game and find these packs too affordable there might be bigger issues that you need to work on.

Those wells are realistic say you are on Mars and your tire pops you would have to send a new rover or tire so airless tires are better

Looks cool, but what even is research ? scanning for ore ?

My dumbass heard missile habitation instead of little habitation, kept wondering what kind of sneaky weaponry this build hoarded

Wow

lol hold x to jump. I'm going to have to learn how to spawn ships in.

I need this in star citizen Great video though!

are they ever going to fix trees? if i weigh 4000 tons and im going 80 meters a second a single tree shouldnt flip my rover, it should turn into sawdust

How feasible to you all think it is to kind of drop this from another ship? Like you’re coming from space but need more info, maybe the planet has spiders?,maybe it’s got angry Good boys? Rather assertive bunkers maybe? You wouldn’t try to build an outpost without this info.

It looks a bit like a Boxer IFV

I like the idea for rovers like this, but I also recognize that, given the reality of the game, they just aren't practical. It's a beautiful creation, but it's too large to really use. How are you going to turn this? And rovers of this size like to damage themselves in interesting ways.

I wish I could re-install Space Engineers, it took up 52 GB of my laptop.

He should of added the rear steering on the back 2 axles

Yeah I'm just going to pretend my first big rover was almost as nice as this. The face of it looked like a frog..

I recommend looking at glazton’s designs they are really good

might be cool to have just planet war ....no flying ships allowed ...all factions have to start build and fight on same planet using only wheels

I know the design is a bit dated but you still might enjoy checking out my rover. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2197704486

someone alway makes some great rovers or ships..just thought of something.. all the creations people make we are yet to see a ship with rooms for drop-pods . we all start our games in survival from a drop pod.. yet there no ships that have a drop pods on them
