Hollow Skid Loader
A small skid-steer loader that digs. Drive its bucket into a hill or a mountain and it cuts a passage it fits through; everything it digs goes into its own storage.
How it works
- Learn it at Vehicle Adventures 55 and build it at a workbench.
- Drive: W / S, A / D turns it on the spot. Space raises the arms, C lowers them.
- Q tips the bucket forward, Z curls it back; the mouse wheel does the same.
- Cut: lower the arms and drive (or just hold W) into a slope: it carves a passage 3 wide and 3 high.
- Dig down: keep holding C past the bottom (or tip the bucket a little) and drive; it digs a layer at a time.
- Empty its storage (48 slots) like any vehicle; when it is full it stops digging and tells you.
Tips
- Soil, sand, gravel and snow cut at full speed, stone at half speed.
- Ore, asphalt and concrete need the Toothed Bucket (Vehicle Adventures 60); it also cuts stone at full speed.
- The Hydraulic Booster (65) makes the arms and bucket faster.
- It only takes its kits: the Roof Lamp Bar (57, a lamp bar on the cab roof; the same kit fits the Raider Bus), the Toothed Bucket, the Hydraulic Booster, and dyes.
- Dyes repaint only the yellow paint. It never digs bedrock, other players' land claims or a trader's grounds.
- Stuck on the lip of a trench with a wheel in the air? Keep holding W or S: after a moment it eases itself out.
