Centipede Miner v0.5

Notice:
This build is imperfect and I doubt I will fix it, I made something better: https://test1.login.steam.hlxgame.cc/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3284815546 . Still, this build uses much less PCU than the new one as it is not dependant on gyros.

Its a tunneller it can dig down and up at around 45 degree angle but less is suggested so you don't get stuck.

If using in survival you will need to add the hinges and the two drills yourself just have a look in creative first to see the configuration, its easy.

The max angles I set for my hinges is:

Down: -10 degrees
Up: 45 degrees

Warnings:
- This has not been thoroughly tested, use at your own risk.
- Be careful to not go too fast it is not designed for high speed travel.
- Don't drill too steep or you might get stuck.

Usage:

Turn on the gyros and use the override features as needed, gyros on can be good for wiggling out of a tight spot or forcing the front or back down to get increased friction. Gyro override is used to help you stick to a slope.

Use the toolbar controls to manually set the angle of the drills, it doesn't need to go very low to get a downward slope going, so take care and don't drill too steep or you will get stuck. Once the slope is started you may need to straighten the drills or it will keep getting steeper.
Once you reach your desired destination you can get out by changing the drills to the upward angle and creating a ramp, or clear enough space to turn around or use the reverse camera and reverse out.

Known Issues:

The wheels on top may not be spinning the right way, in order to fix you must flip vehicle and test driving, put top wheels in group and then invert propulsion/steering as needed.

Adding some thrusters to the vehicle could substantially improve its performance and having wheels on the side could improve durability, see my new build for examples.
