yeah, don't know what it is, but have to turn the friction on wheels down to like 25 to 30% when driving on these runways. Both on a dedicated server and in my solo world. No alterations done to mod configs either.

That's odd, they're just regular blocks, and have not heard of this behavior before

What if settings, if any, can be made to reduce the grabbiness of the runway blocks on vanilla wheels. It is like driving on unwelded blocks. I can drive straight, but the instant I try to turn, it insta stops the wheels.

I couldn't find something fitting my use case in the alternatives (the other was Too cheap) so I made a variant of this using the already existing AQD concrete we use on our server.

I referenced your mod as the original and hope that's ok. If not, I'll see if I can make it private or something. So long I can share it with the people i play with it's good enough for me.

Thank you for your awesome contribution :NekoPawRight:

Sadly this one is absurdly expensive. I wanted to use these as a gravel dump - and they are - but even after a substantial amount of mining and using gravel exclusively for this mod's cement I still haven't completed filling the cement for one piece of the runway.

can you please add this video to help people decide runway numbers?

Hello, I want to use this mod on my server, it is allowed?
Gemini Sierra 7 Jan, 2023 @ 8:50am 
What wheel settings, on rovers, do you recommend so that it does feel like driving on unwelded block. Very grippy feeling when trying to turn. Also, the wheels in question are the offroad wheels from the DLC.

I'm talking about just for a flat airport. all one level. Taxiway would be dope though.
nukeguard  [author] 24 Dec, 2022 @ 7:49am 
roads get difficult, would have to add a ton more shapes to make it work for non-level terrain
Whirep 23 Dec, 2022 @ 6:42pm 
Any chance you would be willing to add Taxiways? I am LOVING this mod. Maybe even could add road for utility vehicles too.
LeRoy 28 Sep, 2022 @ 9:27am 
Hey is it all right If I edit your mod it takes a lot of gravel to be able to to make the mix and I want to reduce that.
nukeguard  [author] 2 Apr, 2022 @ 9:19am 
I don't think I can control friction on a block, that may be due to the collisions, try and turn down friction on wheels
Neen 7 Mar, 2022 @ 2:15pm 
A small note: this is probably a good thing for some designs, but these runways actually have such high friction that it makes turning performance a lot worse. I tried to make a racetrack out of them and when I turn a vehicle on these blocks, the inside turning wheels will literally fold inwards and bug out due to the high friction. It's more friction than terrain and a lot more than armor. however, this probably makes landing and braking on them with a plane a lot better, just make sure the front wheel(s) can't brake or you'll flip over. I considered making special racing vehicles with low friction wheels, but they're undrivable on normal surfaces, so I'll probably just go and finish my racetrack with armor. Still, very cool mod!

Okay thanks! My compliments to you on a great mod. I hope you can find the problem easily.
nukeguard  [author] 10 Nov, 2021 @ 4:21pm 
that is very odd, will have to look into it
Luvstruckmango 8 Nov, 2021 @ 10:34am 
Some more Info: Survival in general this problem seems to be an issue. I tried doing a survival world with just this mod and this problem still exists
Luvstruckmango 8 Nov, 2021 @ 9:55am 
Hi Nukeguard, while playing on my dedicated server we added this mod and the runway middle block places as a small darkgray block instead of the frame. If we build it you fall through it. If I place it using admin it works just fine. Any ideas what's going on?
nukeguard  [author] 25 Mar, 2021 @ 5:57am 
the blocks have the same amount of block material as the same amount of heavy armor blocks to build
Nick The Duck King 24 Mar, 2021 @ 3:48pm 
awsome mod but it takes like 2 hours just to build one part of the runway :p

Great For making Aircraft Carriers
nukeguard  [author] 22 Dec, 2019 @ 4:52pm 
you may edit the mod, when you put on workshop, don't use same title or thumbnail. Please link to original here.
KKComice 21 Dec, 2019 @ 6:07pm 
Alright thanks sadly it does not work for the type of server we run but that is fine thanks for your time.
nukeguard  [author] 21 Dec, 2019 @ 4:44pm 
the build cost was based on per 2.5m cube, some of those blocks are <70 blocks in size, they may seem expensive, but they really aren't.
KKComice 21 Dec, 2019 @ 8:09am 
Nukeguard I was wondering if you would let my friend edit the mod, so we can make the building costs better, its for a dedicated server if you need any info message me on discord KKComice#2940 Thanks.
nukeguard  [author] 19 Dec, 2019 @ 4:44pm 
that is a keen bug that many of us testers are trying to get keen to fix, think we may have with some demonstrations of armor blocks going through 12 layers of heavy armor. Can't lock blocks as stations if they can be converted to ship
Hage Maoh 19 Dec, 2019 @ 1:27pm 
Is there any way to lock these as stations? They're fun, but in a server players can drop one of these from orbit and flatten an entire base
Sarah_Starchild 10 Nov, 2019 @ 6:25am 
Hi, would you be able to increase the 'functional' ratio of the construction bar? I love using these blocks for flooring but accidental grinding deconstructs them instantly. If you are able to increase the functional percentage of the build even by a little that would be great :)
Shiko 14 Oct, 2019 @ 12:54pm 
Hey Nuke Sorry but i been having a small issue making it hard to use these blocks till its fixed for my build.. currently im getting the missing texture 1 block Build states. is there any way you can fix this so that i can actualy build this into a mountain as i drill Thanks.
UnseenOni 14 Oct, 2019 @ 12:24pm 
Weird, its been several hours, I just placed one down again to get a log report for you and it worked fine, no disconnect, call it a fluke I guess.
nukeguard  [author] 14 Oct, 2019 @ 11:24am 
can I get a log from server or client that has the error?
FlamingNinja 14 Oct, 2019 @ 8:00am 
yeah, smaller sized runway parts would be kinda cool, or just make taxiway parts and we 'll just use them as smaller runways
UnseenOni 14 Oct, 2019 @ 7:26am 
On a dedi server and whenever someone tries to place one of the new blocks, it disconnects them from the server. Just the 5x7
VS-lockon 9 Oct, 2019 @ 6:02am 
ya that why i ask if you could make a smaller set for me thank nuke :-P bc the big runway good for small ship Gone Wild but big runway not good for small fighter craft in a base made for small craft
nukeguard  [author] 8 Oct, 2019 @ 8:51pm 
:-P they're too big lol
VS-lockon 8 Oct, 2019 @ 6:57pm 
@nuke when you done with the fixing the reactor can you make a smaller runway like a 5 block wide bc i cant fit them in in a base build https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1884520631 please and thank
Entarlas 15 Sep, 2019 @ 12:49pm 
OK i think i was trying to attach in the middle possibly thx for the responce
nukeguard  [author] 12 Sep, 2019 @ 11:51pm 
the blocks are really large and the angled ones only attach on a corner, so you have to move around at certain angles to get lined up right, I tried to get it as best as I could, because it's a pain in survival
Entarlas 19 Jun, 2019 @ 12:39am 
@ brady_bil you use refined stone in your assembler to craft it takes about 30 bags to make one cement
Entarlas 18 Jun, 2019 @ 11:15pm 
angled blocks flat out refuse to align w/ each other
brady_bil 23 Apr, 2019 @ 6:12pm 
how do you get the cement mix to build these?
Geneticus 17 Apr, 2019 @ 6:50pm 
Dunno, I've seen the path comparer be case sensitive before.
nukeguard  [author] 17 Apr, 2019 @ 3:51am 
well I wonder what happened to the icon

It indeed is incredibly fragile not due to integrity issues (using it as a shooting target and it's uber difficult to destroy), but because of deformation - we tried landing planes on it in a realistic gliding sense, and any sufficiently large impact would straight up pop the runway. Keen issues so not much can be done.
