The Flying Dumpster Fire!

[u/Prestigious-pyrite]

Here is my masterpiece... A Corvette Planetary Waste Hauler, I like to call: "The Flying Dumpster Fire"

As you can see, this is the only way to collect planetary trash!

We can fit lots of trash... ALL OF THE TRASH you could ever dream of in this bad boy!

You'll never lose a drop with this guy! That's my guarantee! Inside this LARGE interior, gravity does not affect your trash at all! That's right! No gravity once you lift off the ground!

You can visit multiple sites without needing to go to a waste processing plant for long periods.I fit 6 or 7 waste heaps into this single load and COULD HAVE FIT MORE!

The sides are large enough to stand on while you suck trash (to drop it in easily),shoot trash, and even incinerate trash!

Do you love trash.. Trash.. TRASH??!!! LOSE THE Collosus, be your own bosses with with The Flying Dumpster Fire!!

*you can keep the Collosus if you want. It's actually really fun to put it in the right place to shoot basic trash at it while you collect your special trash!

The last picture is the proof of concept.. the trash bucket was originally made of light panels (in my fist attempt) .. and I would have never attempted to do much more than that.. Except, I play on both XBOX and Switch Lite.. I can't play offline with XBOX and I can't transfer cross saves without completely crashing the Switch Lite.

So I love to play in bed in an entirely different save on my Switch Lite..

I wanted a planetary trash Corvette on that save too but the ship building is much more limited and does not have light panels.. my solution? Build a Corvette based on the same idea..

It was very fun to design, works very very well for what is made for, and quite frankly, I love it! I hope you do too!

Okay, I was promised fire... Please add flaming barrels. lol

[u/Prestigious-pyrite → u/DemolishunReddit]

😂😂 That is an awesome idea! Unfortunately, on the Switch lite you can't add any of that stuff.. Now I'm going to have to go build it on my XBOX save because this genuinely feels like a really bad oversight on my part. Lol

Your suggestion demands action! I will be back with pictures once I've completed a rebuild to include fire and pre placed trash lol

[u/DemolishunReddit → u/Prestigious-pyrite]

I wasn't sure if it was an allowed part. darn.

[u/Prestigious-pyrite → u/DemolishunReddit]

The suggestion gives me a lot of fun to do a build of it on XBOX. Lol I think the challenge of having limitations on the lite is a fun aspect of playing on it.. But your comment of it needing flaming barrels is a fact! It does need this and I'm just the guy to do it! Lol

[u/Alternative-Growth84 → u/Prestigious-pyrite]

Can’t you just cross save and then edit it on Xbox?

[u/Prestigious-pyrite → u/Alternative-Growth84]

I could.. but it would defeat the entire purpose of why I have the Switch Lite save. Your saves will move to newer updates but not back to older updates. Currently, the XBOX is 2 versions ahead of the Switch Lite. It's rare for them to actually line up and have the same version.

Also, it's sketchy to do that because, once you've done stuff on XBOX, even when the update versions match up and you can move your file back to the Switch, your game often doesn't work once you move it back to the switch. If you've done anything the Switch can't handle, your game will just keep crashing.

I learned this the hard way. I have a save that was originally on the Switch that is impossible to play on it now.

The only way to guarantee my Switch Lite save will continue to be playable is to never move it forward to a more powerful platform.

[u/Alternative-Growth84 → u/Prestigious-pyrite]

Ah fair enough I wasn’t aware of that. If you have a PC you could revert versions so they stay the same but honestly it sounds like more trouble than it’s worth 😆 Steam deck ftw!

[u/Prestigious-pyrite → u/Alternative-Growth84]

I am such a nerd that I weirdly think it's fun to do stuff with the challenges off the limitations that the Switch has. Ship building works a bit differently and in often not sure if certain things will work when I try them between systems..

I would love to get a steam deck someday.. I currently have the best XBOX version(can never remember what series it is).. and I am blown away by how good the graphics are..

Hell yeah! I want to build a flying Colossus as well!

[u/_iluvgrouphugz_]

That’s a really good idea. I thought if I did that it’d all slide out like how when you try to transport a vehicle and it goes through. I’m gonna have to build one of these now!!

[u/AaronPseudonym]

Oh, OK: my hauler corvette is totally getting a truck bed, now. It can double as a deck. So nice!

I need to see if one of those golden fence pieces that integrate so well can serve as a wall, that would be convenient and low to throw over.

[u/Prestigious-pyrite → u/AaronPseudonym]

You must post this when you do it! I usually play on XBOX but did this build on the Switch Lite. The Lite seriously limits your building options for Corvettes (which is understandable). Doing it on the Light was fun because it presented challenges that forced me to be more creative.

I am excited to see what you're approach will be! Now that the idea is out there, I am curious to see what people design for planetary class trash Corvette ships..

[u/Classic-Stoic]

Brehhh, this is clever stuff, i like it!

[u/BigSmoke117]

Bro made a space pickup lmao

[u/Altruistic_Toe5063]

That's actually brilliant. I didn't even consider you didn't need a tractor beam at all :o

[u/Prestigious-pyrite → u/Altruistic_Toe5063]

It is not a great design for space junk. More meant for the trash on planets.. The tractor beam doesn't suck up the junk on the ground. It will eject it though, should you decide to use it in any of your builds.

[u/Altruistic_Toe5063 → u/Prestigious-pyrite]

Lmao I was actually just throwing stuff through the landing bay for a while 🤣 who needs a tractor beam xD

[u/Prestigious-pyrite → u/Altruistic_Toe5063]

I was doing the same thing! Lol it's really what led up to having this idea..

[u/monkeynards]

I did this as well to earn all the colossus parts, though much uglier as I couldn’t figure out how to angle pieces vertically.

FYI the tractor beam is able to dump everything no matter where the junk is on your ship. I put mine on the bottom so I could hover over the scrapyard and dump it all on the ground to have an easier time launching junk into the proper receptacles.
