alas, on LG 5x5 wheels, the rotor head is added instead of the wheel itself, but that's all, it does not attach to the suspension in any way.
The mod is very cool and useful, but it needs to be updated.

broken!

so basically it still kinda works, just be sure you run the procedure on suspensions that have a wheel. Looks like it's not working with those have no wheels anymore.

so how does this work? i have followed the instructions, but the rotor just falls through the suspension
XXAWESOMEENGINEER88XX 19 Jun, 2024 @ 7:27am 
when it did work the first time it, the vehicle i had has 95% suspension, 70% power, and it cant go forward properly without bouncin up in the air
XXAWESOMEENGINEER88XX 19 Jun, 2024 @ 7:23am 
i do it the old way where you put /wheels it spawns the rotor heads in but they dont actually attach and keep flying off into the distance, am i doing something wrong
XXAWESOMEENGINEER88XX 19 Jun, 2024 @ 7:22am 
it keeps saying tried to attach but it aint doin shit o_o

Can this mod please be updated to include all the latest wheel and suspension block types? Hands down one of the best mods I use on a regular basis. :steamthumbsup:

I'd love for it to be updated to lastest updates (2x2 and offroad) but I always used this for trying to make some custom multiblock suspension but failed and just so happen to see a blueprint manage to make one and rekindled my interest in this mod xD

Will this be updated to work with the new 2x2 vanilla wheel?
Nunya 9 Apr, 2023 @ 5:36am 
Great Mod.

How to use:
1) Place Suspension (Any size)
2) Go to "Custom Data" of that suspension and type in what you want on it. (ie: SmallRotor *List in description above.)
3) Open chat and type /wheels

Your selection will then spawn on the suspension.

*Note: Large Rotors will not stay on Small Suspensions.

TO THE AUTHOR: Any chance you could add the OffRoad Tires? Please?

i couldnt make this work with a largerotor on a 5x5 wheel, it just falls off
Stavinair Caeruleum 9 Oct, 2022 @ 1:12pm 
I tried /attach on the rover in space yet it didn't attach the small rotor I had made from the custom data...
dragonraalhaan 4 Jul, 2022 @ 11:39am 
I have spent hours trying to get a rover blueprint fixed. Trying to mess with the blueprint file text, pistons and mag plates... on and on. I tried your mod, it worked the first time, just as intended! Thank you for saving my sanity!

ah yes finally i can create fast spinning rotors for the aerodynamics blocks mod. hell yea ty!

This feels semi useless/harder to use in atmosphere, I do /wheels and the small rotor head falls, so I absolutely have to use landing gears to hold the rotor head in place.
Emiricol4Rl 18 Sep, 2021 @ 2:29am 
What cool stuff does this enable?
Mothie 4 Aug, 2021 @ 9:48am 
how you use this i need help
Annastasya 10 Jul, 2021 @ 4:56pm 
Thank you hun.
국경없는_의사회 3 Jul, 2021 @ 3:25am 
Yep It works
Annastasya 15 Mar, 2021 @ 10:57am 
Can some engineer please tell me, does this mod still work after the recent wheel/suspension updates?
Tetra 6 Nov, 2020 @ 8:16pm 
@Klime can you update/fix this mod the large grid wheels dont work on small grid sus and neither do 5x5s
bradsface420 3 Oct, 2020 @ 4:46pm 
no problem using attach the rotor in custom data and then wheels in chat but then it tries to turn at the rotor head instead of the suspension turn point and the the turning rotor head doesnt work well at all was hoping this work to make custom suspension for land vehicle that turns like the vanilla suspension
Tempus loop 21 Jul, 2020 @ 2:26am 
Hello. Have a question:
Here is a piston in the game, even with minimal force, everything is early as hard as cattle, and therefore it cannot be used in a suspension. Blocks are better suited for this purpose.

Is there any way to "relax" the piston. There, give him a massage, or pour whiskey into tea ... Well, what is the way there is in vanilla? And if not, can you create such a mod, or a plugin?
Shinigami_KB 5 Jun, 2020 @ 5:39pm 
will this be fixed/updated? i can spawn rotor head after changing custom data but rotor head isnt attached. try to attach with /attach and only get message "tried to attach"
Rumblestrip 30 May, 2020 @ 6:10pm 
Broken at present... it cant attach.. it can add a rotor where it ought to attach using /wheels but then when you use /attach, it says "tried to attach" and nothing happens... deleted the grid to check, the rotors where left, the grid was gone.

"/wheels doesnt help, the rotor keeps falling off"
you have to do it in space, without gravity
ScrappyMuffin 1 Dec, 2019 @ 12:21pm 
/wheels doesnt help, the rotor keeps falling off
Zalfeon 15 Nov, 2019 @ 2:04pm 
/attach don't work with the Bike Wheel mod sad face :(
Scotlandsyard 6 Nov, 2019 @ 9:46pm 
I have found that if you leave the wheel on, and then do the 'Custom Data' part, it works
Ebola 29 Oct, 2019 @ 4:17am 
i cant attach small rotor head, it just spawns but doesnt attach
Titan Nya 8 Oct, 2019 @ 9:31am 
well trying to use 2 suspensions to attach to same grid as im trying to make a bigger suspension...

Merge block don't do it attach dont work either... well i guess i wont go this way for that i want to do...
Titan Nya 7 Oct, 2019 @ 3:24pm 
Well the Large grid 5x5 don't accept large rotor head either, didn't test more as i'm trying lots of new things in my bp test world and got a headache so gonna go to sleep and try again later...
Tamarak 1 Oct, 2019 @ 10:10am 
hey don't know if i'm doing something wrong or what but i cant get this to work on small grids any ideas? 5x5, 3x3, and the 1x1 none of them will take a rotor head.
FlamingNinja 30 Sep, 2019 @ 3:33pm 
been looking for this from the W4stedSpace/XPGamers current survival streams :D at last!
cptebi 22 Sep, 2019 @ 5:03am 
does the attach command not work with 3x3 wheels? because i placed down a rotor next to it and typed /attach into chat and it just says "server: tried to attach"
Emperor Augustus 18 Sep, 2019 @ 7:17pm 
nvm it works if i keep the wheel on the suspension
Emperor Augustus 18 Sep, 2019 @ 7:16pm 
When i type /wheels it spawns in the small rotor head but it doesn't attach it just falls to the ground.
Sensei Freak 18 Sep, 2019 @ 10:59am 
I have the same issue with the 5x5, but this is so cool
Gaalidas 15 Sep, 2019 @ 12:29pm 
I've been watching a few guys streaming this in online MP and it appears to be working as long as the host/admin runs the command to make it happen.
Lithium 15 Sep, 2019 @ 6:00am 
Just reporting a bug, when using Large Grid 5x5 Suspension, Rotors Parts and Smaller Wheels don't seem to actually attach, even when using the attach command. Have tested with others and they seem fine.

Love the mod though, any other functionality going to be added?
Draco Zandros 15 Sep, 2019 @ 4:43am 
W4stedspace has used this in his MP Kerbal Space Engineers series, and can confirm it works! (he's playing in survival but with creative turned on). I have SOOO many ideas after watching him race a rocket crawler up hills :D
Tommygunn 13 Sep, 2019 @ 5:14pm 
Really feels like a back door way to this and provides expected results. Why not just make it a separate block?
Klime  [author] 10 Sep, 2019 @ 6:57am 
In theory this mod will work in Local Multiplayer. It definitely won't work on DS. In Local MP, only the host will be able to use the commands
seronis 9 Sep, 2019 @ 7:28pm 
Does one person typing the command ONLY affect their own build? Does the command even work on a server? Can one person interfere with someone else via the command?
seronis 9 Sep, 2019 @ 7:26pm 
Well any subgrid on a projector is broken, that not this mods fault. But does the mod work online when NOT in creative mode? Im not asking how a blueprint created with the mod works. Just the mod itself.
Spyro The Gamer 9 Sep, 2019 @ 12:41pm 
Subbed this; I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of it somehow
Spyro The Gamer 9 Sep, 2019 @ 12:41pm 
@Klime I noticed you blocked out your eyes in the photos you put
with this mod. Dude-if you don't want people to identify you why put
a picture of yourself online?! It's a waste of time! :steamfacepalm:
Klime  [author] 9 Sep, 2019 @ 8:11am 
You can paste the grid in, and it will have the modified wheels. Doesn't work when building a grid through a projector
seronis 8 Sep, 2019 @ 8:03pm 
How does this work when -actually- playing the game? IE: online, NOT creative
