Make the rugged rover wheels work upside down


Recommended Posts

Ok... so, since this thread has been linked from one just closed, let me revive this.

In 1.0.x I was doing this:

Wheel in 4x symmetry, with colliders sticking out in all directions.

It didn't perform great, but it was better than what we have.

1.1.3 of course wheel is blocked. Hopefully in 1.2 it will be possible again.

But once again, why can't we have a stock (or mod!) wheel that does the same thing without being the horrible visual mess?

Also, if performance is a problem - extra colliders wasting CPU cycles when they are not needed, make it an advanced tweakable option, to enable for vehicles that actually make use of it. And only for wheels where it makes sense. Certainly not the tiny rover wheels. The huge wheels could have three colliders only, no collider on the mount side, but able to work in horizontal position. But the concept of a rover where the wheels protect the body from all sides, and if you flipping over, you just carry on happily, is so fundamental to the game this is a serious shortcoming.

I mean - this:

I'm completely sure a lot of new players did exactly this (the wheels spawn this way in SPH!) and were baffled why it doesn't work.
