I'm sorry I don't speak english and I is not of knowledge 3d but I think that it would be not bad of create this:
While it's certainly a nice piece of machine, it doesn't fit the game setting. I doubt anyone would be overly interested in extinguishing the fires in the newborn world.
This is clearly another case for the world simulator platform, but it's not a project we could take on at this time.

Off course but I think its a very good truck for explore the earth ! =D

Well this is what we have to work with. So it is close enough.



Cameni released the screens for it here in this topic.

Yes, a buggy would be fitting to the setting I think.

It would have to match the utilitarian styling of the R.O.A.C.H.. Recovery operations articulated coach haha!

The damn tatra look alike. I will begin the search.

Looks like a manly beast.

Nah, that's too far into the truck's region of operation. Besides it would be illogical to pack something like this into a colony module.
Buggy should be a small, 1-seat vehicle. Used for .. scouting? Repairing at remote sites? It should be able to carry some instruments too.

If it is too big than just take that design and make it smaller. The proportions should scale well. I like the oversized wheels, centrally located headlights and boxy frame. Nothing aerodynamic at all. It still needs to be an off-roader.

It should fit on the back of the TRATRA nicely.

I guess we'll have to split the designs to Am/Eu counterparts. There's probably no way we could make something that is appealing to both :/

But for the vehicle above, I think scaling it down will not work. The axles and suspension would make it less capable than the buggies above, IMO.
I still think there should be something more functional for the purpose, something different.

Too many animated parts there :)
And dragging a pair of horses out of the colony pod spaceship would be some sight :D

These turrets will need energy from nearby generators, so the range is limited. Besides, you'll have to go outside to search for mines and stuff, and the things that want to kill you will be there too. Plenty of hunting fun. Thitawatokiya will probably want to destroy your drilling and mining machines as well, so the turrets will be usable if you don't want to repair the sites periodically.
Have you thought about what creatures would wan't to kill us? I can imagine  some creature watching me from the woods in the middle of the night. Perhaps a giant spider like in the game wurm.
