How does the laser turret not break off while digging? It doesn't look like it can fold in #Tongue

It look imbalanced, the driller looks heavier than the APC itself, like if it could fall over in any second.

Agreed with Graion.

it also looks like, if the driller gets stuck, it might unscrew itself from the hull :p

I think it looks okay, just make the treads and cargo a bit longer.

Its a Pop-Up Turret. But more or less to graphical limitations Its kept popped out. (And If I gave it ChargeTurret it'd seem redundant for it to keep popping in/out every shot)

I'm working on extending the treads some more back and front though.

The APC is essentially that. The Drill and its engine is "screwed" in from the front and welded in shut to form the APC.

Elongated the Treads now... Gonna start dirtying up its treads & Drill later.

Also... with a Seperated Section and custom VPL(For invisible voxel section), would the Drill render correctly in all directions

Basically this. Still need to fix my vpl though so it'll have correct shadows to include the drill.

That looks a lot more balanced. I'm impressed by what can you come up with, Jem.
