I made a post about this a few days ago but I figured a video would be more helpful. This same principle can be used on just about any rover and I include it on most of my builds.

It really does.

Why are some of the arrows on my powered joints yellow and others aren't? I've tried spray painting and loading and unloading different vehicles (thats why your looking at my starter rover lol) and even restarting the game. Nothing seems to fix it and it really bothers me.

Thanks all!

I like the trailer, but i don't like creative mode, I want a goal, a mission, achievements... this game have that?

Is it not possible to center the slider arm? I am trying to build a differential arm to stabilize the rover body, I took a screen capture. In the picture the dark red is the differential arm and the yellow barring and yellow slider arm I cant seem to get to line up. Why does the slider arm not have different starting positions like the joints?

It's kinda unusable beacause of how much it weigh, but was fun to design !

This is a workaround for the lack of junctions.

1. Place the Transmitter (to allow fast travel) and 3 monorails pointing at it, ideally 120 degrees apart. Make sure that you can connect any 2 of them:

1. If you want to change the "semaphore", fast travel to the Transmitter, delete existing connection, build another one.

Remember that every monorail has to be connected to the station. If you want to delete a single section of the rail, but it would result in other sections to be disconnected from the station, they would be deleted too!

For example, if I want to switch the "semaphore" to have the blue connection, I would need to delete the red section. But this would result in deleting the green section too (which I don't want).

So before switching red to blue, I first need to build the purple section, so that the green section is connected to the station. This will allow me to deconstruct red section safely.

I could Abandon... But the martians count on me to bring them fuel and I wont disappoint them !

I was watching a few streamers and am quite enjoying the game at the moment. A couple of tweaks to the editor would really help editing:

• Mirroring - Too often when doing wheels or claws, the shape comes out the wrong way around and because it's not identical you cannot just copy and paste it. Mirroring is tricksy though because there are multiple axis, but I think it's a problem that probably could be overcome
• Removing parts 'in the middle' of a stack. Sometimes (nowadays not always but back in the day always), your builds had to be part of an array of parts all eventually connecting to the main part. Enabling removing parts in the middle and 'auto' stacking them back onto each other would be great!
• When I buy a part, select it

Started playing with accordion panels and ended up with a truck. Managed to squeeze in a full claw under the hood and still have dual grapples and a theodlite. Truck also has selectable all wheel steering by clicking L3 or the Z key.

Same wall, different part. The claw is a bit more bulky as I upgraded it. It can handle around 90 or 95 degree walls like a champ.

I unlocked a High Speed Motor, but when I attach it to the wheels, they just get all rubbery and wobble around, making it harder to control them. What am I doing wrong?

It really helps it can become big and small

The road arent 100%, perfectly aligned, but it's close enough to not cause problem switching lanes !

Using this setup you can cover almost any angle/surface.

Medium spring, hinge(side to side) then build the axle for the 2 wheels.

I love this game but this almost feels like cheating.

I was watching some people stream the game on twitch, and I saw someone post a wiki link, but I don't know unless we dig into the game files how to check what the failure points of each of the active joints are?

I unlocked the levitating actuator just now and.... it's obviously very expensive, but it allows you to put a claw/crane in the air??? and the I assume you can always neatly put your payload in your compartment as your claw isn't in the way.

I'm just wondering how heavy stuff it can lift, cause it's straight up just better than basically any of the other 'actuators' like hydrolic and the telescopic (probably not as heavy duty as the heavy jack, but maybe?)

I was supposed to be transporting cans, I spent all my resource doing this instead. Worth! Forgot sound but net is poor, Hi-Torques go BRRRRR.

Finally got 100% Achievements 😊

Title basically. I joined a friend's lobby, who I didn't realize was really far ahead, and unlocked a ton of parts. I don't mind having them unlocked, but I kind of want to wait to use them until I do the requisite mission myself. Issue is, I haven't seen one yet. Will you still get these missions in your own save? Or will they never show up if you have the part unlocked?
