Explorer

"This vehicle has been designed by our best Vehicle Designers™ to allow for easy, fast, and safe exploration of alien territories. *Wifi hotspot not included."

- Caterina Parks's assistant Steve

The Explorer is an all-terrain vehicle. It is faster and more agile compared to both Tractor and Truck and has improved drifting capabilities. The explorer grips or "grapples" the terrain, allowing it to climb steep surfaces and handles rough terrain well, though it has a tough time climbing surfaces such as walls. It can knock down small trees and vegetation.

Usage
The Explorer's inventory can be accessed by interacting with a red box in the rear of the vehicle, where it can also be fueled by inputting up to a stack of fuel into the fuel slot. All fuels are accepted, ranging from to. Fuels with more energy last longer, but don't affect anything else. Additonally, a built-in Craft Bench can be accessed from the same menu, using a tabber at the top of the menu.

Once fueled, entering the Explorer allows it to be driven. Running out of fuel while driving prevents accelerating and braking. Automated routes can be recorded using the self-driving menu.

Trivia

 * The Explorer used to have two seats since its introduction in Update 1 up until Update 6. However, it could only hold one person.

Current issues

 * The Explorer is prone to bugs where the vehicle will be moved to coords 0, 0, 0. So far the only fix is to use a save editor to move the vehicle to an accessable position. This bug can possibly be avoided via parking it on solid ground and not a foundation.
