Fairing deployment keeps popping rover wheels

[SuperMiiBrother]

Whenever I deploy a fairing, Any rover wheels inside the fairing are destroyed for some reason. In my recent design the rear wheels kept popping so I kept rebuilding the fairing and trying again. At some point I finally gave up and launched without a fairing. I managed to still get my rover to it's destination, However I'm planning to send a much larger rover later on.

I can't keep having my wheels popped without any engineers ready to repair, My current engineers aren't even high enough level to repair wheels!

I've often found my fairing hitting parts of my payload if the ejection force is not high enough. I usually set the ejection force slider bar about a third to halfway along and this helps the fairing clear the payload. Also make sure there is enough clearance inside the fairing between the payload and the fairing base (use something as a fairing adapter). I also use clamshell deploy, but I think that makes the fairings more solid rather than less solid, so that might not have the desired effect for you.

Hope that helps!
