Well.... This build started as an idea for testing a propulsion system I found on another build. (sry, I don't remember whose) Tag me if it's yours and I'll give you credit.

in game backstory

Despite what you may have heard, the Roswell incident wasn't a "weather balloon". How do I know you ask? well it's my back yard it landed in and when it did, it practically destroyed my tractor! I came out after what felt like a bomb had gone off in my barn to find it in shambles with this thing smoking and glowing, floating a foot off of the ground. Never did see what was in it. Well I covered the thing up and tied it to the bed of my truck and drove all night to my cousins place and stashed it there.

For the next month I watched a dozen men run all over my land with gadgets looking for it. It took 6 months before I could go get it from my cousin and by that time it seemed to be dead.

I spent the next 6 months figuring out how to use it to rebuild my tractor and well, here it is. It's kinda odd how it works and it glitzes a lot, but it sure makes the farming go faster!
