It's exactly what the name implies. A simple container mover. It was built to be used with infinite electricity.
I designed it to fit into my plane's cargo compartment, so I can take it with me, land, take the TCM out, load either one container and the TCM, or two containers, and leave the TCM on the ground.
If your vehicle holds the containers via grippers on the floor, or the lower hardpoint side connectors, and your space is a bit (rougly 6 blocks) wider than a regular container, you can mount this TCM there too, and take it with you!
Since it's radio controlled, and the remote controller has its quirks, some features aren't as easy as with a seat.
Raising and lowering the tracks is based on the number inputs, and they are always toggleable, so if you want to raise the tracks one step, press 2 two times, to first toggle it On, and then Off (same with 3 two times to lower one step).
I experimented with getting the presses recognized on both toggles, but then when you disconnect the remote, and connect back, if you have 2 or 3 toggled, it was firing each time you connected. You can change that in the Track Height Controller underneath the vehicle (change Pulse node from Off->On to Always)
For this reason I added indicators for each toggleable input in use, and they're labeled.
Controls (they are also on the vehicle's paintable indicators next to the remote):
- WSAD - Driving
- Up/Down - Raises and lowers the crane connectors
- Left/Right - Moves the crane front and back
- 1 - Toggles the crane's connectors, allowing you to drop the container
- 2 - Raises tracks one step (have to press 2 times for each step up)
- 3 - Lowers tracks one step (have to press 2 times for each step down)
- 4 - Technically changes gears (for some reason it's On by default so it's faster, but there's little difference when Off)
- 6 - Toggles the platform's sliding connector grippers. Disconnects the container while it's on the platform
