V.M.E Single-Axle Survival Trailer

The G.XS-T321 by Valkyrja - Maintenance & Engineering is a single-axle trailer on 3x3 wheels, carrying a selection of critical survival equipment.

While this trailer was designed for the G.CS-LDT-1 Light-Duty Truck, it can be attached to any fitting vehicle with a compatible 1x1 Hinge tow-hitch.

This item is survival-ready! It is fully conveyor-linked, thruster-damage compatible and uses no mods or subgrids.

Keep in mind that wheels and the head from the piston-stand technicaly count as subgrids. So you will see a warning when loading it into a projector. The wheels should attach automaticly when building this item. The stand will work fine without the head, but to level the trailer correctly, I suggest adding it through the control menu manually.

• Setup:
• Make sure your towing vehicle is equipped with a compatible tow hitch. It will need a small grid 1x1 hinge that allows for vertical travel - meaning it must be able to move up and down.
• Remove the hinge-part. This is where the trailer will be attached to.
• The hinge should be mounted at the same high of your (3x3) wheel suspensions, so ~2 small blocks above ground-level. You can set it a bit higher or lower, but keep in mind that this might interfere with the trailers own ground-clearence. But you can adjust the suspension settings to a certain level.
• If you have build the trailer in survival, you will need to add the counterpart hinge to it as well. See the screenshots for reference and make sure it is aligned correctly.
• Hook-up:
• Carefully drive your towing vehicle to the trailers hitch in reverse. If you do it correctly, both the hinge on your vehicle and the hinge-part on the trailer should intersect without pushing the trailer away.
• Access the vehicles tow-hinge either via control-menu or toolbar-shortcut and select "Attach". The hinge should now connect to the trailer. If this does not happen, check the "troubleshooting"-section.
• If your trailer is attached, get out of the vehicle and press the button on the right side of the trailer. You will now see the piston stand rising up.
• That's it. You're now ready to head out!
• Troubleshooting
• The Trailer won't attach to my vehicle
• Step out of the vehicle and take a good look at your setup. First, make sure both your car's hinge and the trailers hinge-part meet and are both aligned correctly and at a clear angle. If both ends are offset in high, tweek with your car's suspension-settings until they are leveled. If that's not enough, you can also change the trailer's piston-stands elevation settings to extend or lower the hinge-part.
• Check if both car and trailer don't have their original hinge-counterpart on them. Use the "Deatch"-button in the control menu or grind them off if neccessary.
• Check if the hinge part was pushed to the side by the horizontal hinge. If that happend, acces the control-menu of the trailer, find the hinge and activate the hinge-lock. Realign your vehicle. You should now be able to move up, with the hinge-part staying in place.[/code]
