Atlas M-42 Mobile Research Base - Space Engineers

[Music] hello i'm aaron and welcome back to the last and gamers channel so today we're taking a look at another amazing creation from the steam workshop now here in front of us we have the atlas research rover now having a look at the comment section or the description of this particular build this is his first attempt at building a rover and this is quite exciting because this rover is certainly very nice indeed and we've not looked at a rover in a while so we're going to have a look around the exterior and then we'll pop inside and see what this research rover has to offer so coming around the front we've got this very nice sloped angle design offering a little bit of protection but this isn't really going to be going into fights so nothing to really worry about of course we've got the laser antenna for things to connect up to and we've got these nice gold reflective little areas here including a little tank on top of there that is the reverse side of a survival kit i do believe so pretty cool indeed coming down here we have this slotted area and a protective little viewing window where you can drive the ship from one thing i will say to the creator is you certainly give me a run for my money when it came to spawning this thing in because uh it started driving off down there so you can see the tracks here put the handbrake on please so over the front you can see we've got the cool little bumper design we've got the lights over on this side nice little gold indents and detailing and coming under here we've got some more lights behind some staircases that are acting like as a little bit of a protector so let's work our way around the side and then we'll have a look at the suspension as well so we've got two by six wheels so you can see either side is hosting a lovely six wheels this is going to give us some great off-road performance and you can see the gap in between the middle of these two wheels is quite small so it means we will be able to get over lots of lumps and bumps in the terrain now coming down the side you can see the use of a few of the dlc blocks from various different things you've got the catwalks you've got the little glow-in-the-dark things here that represent wires in this case probably the best thing you can do with these um dlc boxes represent some sort of wires but they will glow in the dark and show the rover from afar if necessary so you can see a little bit in through the windows as you're doing various research tasks around the rover itself coming over here we've actually got a protected little ladder up here now this is good especially if you're running a server without jet packs on you need a way of getting up to your ship and this little protected housing stops things from coming in contact with it and it's just falling off the side so once you're actually up there you enter into this side little air lock so you're gonna see quite a few of the new dlc blocks on this design as well coming to the rear section we've got the rear six wheels on the back here either side and we've got these little components here these are little spotlights you can see that this shine down and they give the the rover a bit of an under glow but at the same time the illuminate underneath and so you can see if you're going over some rough terrain or if a wheel could get caught up so quite a small idea now coming to the back we have a spare wheel and you might be thinking oh that's that's a bit gimmicky but spare wheels especially from the rover service we've done are really useful you can grind down the parts of that and you can weld up one of the wheels on the side and i don't think this is fitted with an automatic welding system so you could pop the tires on you could grind that one down or and just keep on the go so at the back here on this side you see it's not perfectly symmetrical we've got this nice little catwalk that hangs over the other side so you can do some research from the top deck as well as some tanks and some plumbing so coming around this side you can see is quite different over here we've got the exhaust from the side it reminds me of like a bit of a bmp type of glass coming out the side like that or maybe even a giant btr apc if you ever seen them the russian ones so you've got the window at the front there and there's at the back we've got the little habitation pods that we'll see from the inside so we'll quickly look underneath so you can see the suspension is reinforced here as well as a little elevator that we'll be able to have a look at shortly and you can see that they've risen it up and brought it as high and give it as much ground clearance as possible and these i'm using all of the new dlc wheels that they do look quite cool because you can see right through them but the vanilla wheels are more my favorite still at the moment so let's go up to the top deck so on the top deck of course there is a nice ample bit of solar power keep them batteries charged we've also got a wind turbine here and you might think that's pretty useless on a moving grid but if you turn this into a station while you parked you could produce a little bit of wind power there as well we've also got a large antenna array to send various communications to people afar if you wish to and then you've got two antennas on the back and in this area you've got access to the lift and the rear docking bay where you could keep a vehicle so you can see they've actually listed down some mini rovers but we'll go inside in a minute i want to show you accessing this from either the side or the lift so let's pop my little body over here and we'll go underneath and see if we can gain access to it we're not on perfectly flat ground here so it might be a little bit difficult so from underneath i'm looking for some form of access and i don't see a button here at hand i could be missing it so it might mean we have to access it from above and that makes some sense i mean you you would have probably someone on the control panel of this little ramp up here as well so let's just pop ourselves on the ramp and see if we can lower ourselves down so there we go that should be the ramp lowering down with some nicer lighting coming down to floor level and reinforced with the blast doors as well very very cool and the mini rover should be able to fit on here and roll on out so there we go we're down on the ground and we can bring ourselves up back up as well so there we go and this has enough space for pretty much a full crew so when we come up into this hangar as we've seen already we've got the mini docking base complete with landing gears that are really important but make sure these are not hooked up to the main controls because as you press p for your parking brake your mini rovers will disconnect as well but what they've done here is i believe they've connected them up over here so this is this is quite smart yeah so that's car one and car two unlock very nice indeed we've got some car containers for a little bit of detail but these could always be pushed out if you want to try to fit one more rover i like this little room as well this is like a little storage bay with some of these shelves and remember with these shelves what you see on it is what you get in materials when you do grind them down so we'll finish off looking in this room and then we'll move on so we've got some of the new armored blocks in this section as well i'll just click the locks make sure it doesn't do anything else special no just locks them in place and then this open area up here will lead us back up to the top deck i really like it looks a little bit complicated from afar but you can see how the catwalk system allows you to maneuver up to that top deck area as well as having these little pods these little sleeping pods overlooking this area as well i like that some nice little details there definitely let's head on inside so as we go through the tool storage it'd be nice to probably have some crates here that could pass things through so we're opening up the large doors and now we're entering into the research vessel itself so we've got lockers of course we've got ammunition for weapons because some planets you're going to be researching could be quite dangerous and as we go up into here using some of these new corridor blocks they are lovely these new blocks it can add up some real detail to nice tight interiors with a little bit of lighting above got some more a little storage there and then that brings us to the outer access point very cool indeed that'll seal up behind us and we can open this door so a little air lock there as well for you so if we pop ourselves up a floor you'll notice there is a shield generator that can be accessed if this is turned into a static grid that's a great thing to do something getting attacked from some of the the nasties that live out there there's also a contract block and everything you need to turn this into a mobile base if you wanted to a little bit of a a backlit tunnel there using some of the new blocks as well so there's the research station on the top we're growing some plants by the look of it doing some research into them and as we continue through there is there is some rooms on the other side here as well that overlook this research area you can access them by this little staircase this just wraps around the side and then you've got all of these little offices that you saw from the outside so this this has got giant crew quarters of course not super functional for race and survival you can always replace this area if you wanted to just have a look what they've done here with some of these interior passageways really nice indeed and each of these little rooms has enough to just kind of host a player or a crew member for a few days on their trip and i like how these overlook the research area as well very nice indeed so waking our way back down to the exit point we're going to continue on through this vessel vessel rover i mean so over to the next area we've got this little raised up area where you can observe what's going out through the window currently traveling through the desert terrain and the large door over this side as well so let's just drop ourselves down and we'll access this large door and we'll see what's hiding behind it so in here i'm guessing this is representing some sort of engine room of some kind you can see it's two thrusters from the the sci-fi pack added together and they've added these little turbine shafts that really look damn cool nice some real nice ideas here for your designs as well so coming on through there let's continue walking we're getting towards the front of the little rover now so we've got these more observation areas this is almost like a a little area where you could eat a meal or have a snack that leads back through that way as well but this central corridor is quite large as well maybe you could expand it and do some other rover bits but layout is very nice it could be adapted to a lot of different missions and i think that's what that rover's all about so here we've got ourselves a little cafeteria build and upstairs another little seating area so the whole crew can eat get the food and continue researching whatever they need to do so this is the secure airlock into the bridge of this little rover so there's plenty of systems at work here there's even some scripts running you can see there's a radar script we've got battery status scripts windmill status so every readout that you need about this whole vessel is in here so there is this fancy different projector is you can see where we are we are on the earth light one loads of really cool scripts running really nice indeed to see you see they're being run over here as well so that one's tracking three lcd blocks we've obviously got an updated readout from the contracts blocks over here as well very nice indeed and we've got an update on the store block there as well there's just loads of cool little readouts for you to immerse yourself in with this build so we're going to take control of this and take it for a little bit of a spin so it's a big rover and you'll notice that the front three wheels do the turn in the back are actually stationary but there's not much terrain that i've i've conquered on this planet that it can't handle and the main thing of that is because it's gla gown clearance and it's also got that wedged front end so if we do want to tackle some terrain that's a little bit difficult we'll probably tackle that slope there of course we couldn't tackle these but we can maneuver around this train quite easily and a lot of the bushes will simply either break off underneath or we'll move but the wheel setup's also been quite good you see how the wheels have not been you know set up too hard so when we do go over these terrain we we can maneuver and we can keep traction over it as well so it's nice to see a big rover like this managing to maneuver so what we're going to try to do is we're going to try this a little area here so to get into that next valley we're going to have to do a little bit of off-roading let's have a look wheels tracking nicely let's slow ourselves down what we're traveling at 30 meters a second so we're going to want to take her right into the next valley here so full-on break and you can see we've got a bit of steering but we may need to reverse up here rover driving is always really difficult in essay but it's it's very rewarding when you get it right so there's a lot of ups and downs in the terrain behind us here as well but we're still managing to keep grip and keep moving maneuvering let's have a look i feel like i'm making up some words today so let's take this a little bit more to the right see if we can get through this valley we'll definitely get through the valley it's just a matter of how much grip we've got with the lsg quality of life mod that we've messed with the wheels a little bit and we've given a bit more grip and traction on these larger wheels so you you can perform more maneuvers but it's not doing too bad for vanilla we'll set up so we're going to see if we can crank that over here and even if i make the mistake i think of clipping this wheel on the left here we should have enough clearance to push the front end up oh no we don't no we don't iron misjudged that a little bit so you can still smash up your front of the rover it's not going to be instructable so you've got to be careful but we've managed to make it into this gullet here showing off a little bit of its off-road performance let's see if we can head around this side this is a very small planet as well so it means the curvature of it's quite sharp unlike some of the other servers we do so kick these trees out the way always a difficult one trees they can cause some big trouble for the rovers we managed to kick that out there quite nicely i'll bring a little bit of a turn over here so overall a lovely research rover it's nice to see a fresh design and someone who's new to building rovers built something so nice like this one if you're interested checking this out there's a link to it down in the description of the video so check it out for yourselves and i thank you guys for watching and i will see you next time oh god i'm gonna get stuck a little bit
