ISL - Ore Detector Trailer

Purpose

A medium trailer with a large ore detector mounted (via rotor) on it, for increasing the prospecting range of small grid ground vehicles equipped with a tow hitch, forgoing the need for a dedicated vehicle such as the Vicuna Prospector.

There are hinges at the front and rear that function as tow hitches, allowing connections to either trucks or other trailers. As this is not designed as an autonomous vehicle, each trailer is controlled primarily through the use of labeled buttons, although an RC block is still present. Check the "Movement & Control" section for a list of the buttons and their functions.

The vehicles that are compatible with this trailer include: 1. ISL - Iktis RO-100a Light Truck 2. ISL - Iktis RO-130b Light Truck 3. ISL - Ratel RO-720 Excavator 4. ISL - Marten RO-520 Excavator 5.

Features

This trailer is still considered "printable" although the addition of a single hinge head block is required after printing, as well as the LG ore detector sub-grid, as seen in the screenshots.

The Ore Detector will have to be attached after printing, as projections to not extend to sub-grids. To do this, drop a LG advanced rotor head onto the SG rotor (top center of the trailer), then go into the control terminal, find the "ODT Rotor" and press the attach button. The rotor should orientate itself to 0 degrees, once it has done so, place the LG ore detector and weld it up (don't forget to increase its range to maximum).
