Artemis Dynamics© - the Lunar Exploration Vehicle
Artemis Dynamics©, your path to the stars
Following Humanity's celebrated return to the moon in 2028, the growing need for lunar-based infrastructure paved the way for a new frontier of space-commercialism.
Artemis Dynamics©, although new to the industry, proved itself to be a more than capable contender in the field
In the early 2030’s, Artemis Dynamics© collaborated with the newly-created North Atlantic Lunar Council to debut its pioneering L.E.V., the Lunar Exploration Vehicle.
The L.E.V proved to be a vital instrument for the Council, advancing the frontier of lunar exploration.

Personal Note
This is officially my first workshop build, it also happens to be my first fully completed Stormworks build lol. I’ve spent a total of ~200+ hours on this single build, since I’m fairly new to stormworks (~400 hours) I took this opportunity to learn as much as I could. I probably spent a third of the build time learning how to code all the screens in Lua but I had a blast doing so.
I learnt so many new ways of optimizing my code that the first code I made became entirely obsolete by the time I had implemented another feature, this went on and on until I finally said “enough is enough” and was satisfied.
I have so many new Ideas, amongst them, a mobile base (next project M.H.M), I would love to hear all your feedback so that I can use it for my next builds.
Thank you for reading this, have a wonderful day!
