About this mod
This is a scout and surface harvesting truck that can carry a passenger and has multiple constructors. It can snipe drones with its minigun turret and it trivially eats through critters and trees that get in its way.

Frontier trucks, as their name implies, are deployed all across the frontier. They excel at cutting their way through dense forests or clearing rock-filled landscapes to create supply lines through the wilderness. They also include advanced radar to scan the region for points of interest. This truck is meant as a starter truck that explores and exploits surface resources.
After some testing, this truck is awesome at just carving a path strait through a forest, it fells trees like twigs. large rocks take a bit longer, but it still has no trouble with them. It can grind up the resource rocks pretty well if you just point the nose down (the modules are one unit off the ground so they don't get stuck on terrain), but it is a bit tougher on mountains. As far as killing creatures, the blades in the front are pretty awesome. You can rip through alien bugs and other large creatures faster than a gatling gun would and it is more satisfying - and doesn't use ammo. Too bad you can't collect the meat that way... Spiders are a bit tougher to kill because they are so low to the ground and run away when they take damage, but still totally doable - check the screenshot for some arachnocide. **FUN FACT: If you just chill your truck above a mass of spiders, they actually fight themselves and will kill the other spiders** It would be pretty awesome if the spiders swarmed your vehicle and tried to get in, but I think I might stop playing this game at night if they did that. It sits pretty far off the ground and is trivial to get into if you have a jumpack (which you should by level 5), but it is still doable without one. I did it fine without any help, but I'm sure you could pop down a survival constructor/air conditioner to get in, in a pinch. I have also had zero problems exiting the cockpit other than sometimes the game not letting you leave for a few seconds even though your speed is 0.0 m/s - hopefully they fix that, I mean you can get off of your motorcycle when it is moving at top speed...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1388696918
Features:
• Five forward mounted grinding drills that are adept at cutting through anything from flesh to wood to stone
• Radar capable of locating points of interest and even underground ore deposits up to 2.5 kilometers away
• 360 degree light coverage
• Two constructors
• Plenty of storage including three refrigerators
• An 02 station and armor locker
• A passenger seat
• A spacious interior (the new changes in Alpha 8 make accessing the driver's seats more of a chore so this one shouldn't get you stuck or place you outside)
• Motion activated hatches on each side and in the rear of the vessel - each with a platform to make entry easier
• Available at only level 5 and with only basic resources!
Requirements:
Level: 5
Iron: 850
Coper: 640
Silicon: 518
Notes:
• The tires make it more adept at traveling low to the ground, but the harvester modules in the front get in the way so it still travels well, just not at 0.05 meters like my scout bike does
