can this be made to work without changing vanilla wheels ? it overwrites game files, and causes save corruption when used without mod.

Not good for heavy large grid rovers, If you're building a heavy large rover, use wheels without mods & add more wheels.

I can reupload the mad with the new wheels if I get permission.
KHAOS 21 Apr, 2024 @ 3:37pm 
is there any other mod that does a similar if not the same job?
anzellott 1 Oct, 2023 @ 2:06pm 
Yea we need an update for the new suspensions!
Hikari 8 Sep, 2023 @ 3:28pm 
Will this be updated for the newer short suspensions?
Syhkane 31 Aug, 2023 @ 8:47pm 
Thank You adjusted collision, you will be gone from my mod list, but not forgotten.
Gamerforlife 21 Aug, 2023 @ 11:54pm 
So it would seam that the attachment point for the center of the wheels are either gone or I have a mod conflicting with it.
Rightraoedhelontidae 8 Jul, 2023 @ 9:49am 
Will it be updated for 2x2 and Offroad wheels?

Best
Thx!

Works great! Using it right now. The vertical clearance improvement alone is enough to warrant this mod getting added to vanilla, but the other features are also quite nice! And best of all, since this affects vanilla wheel suspensions, no blueprints should break if you have to convert to/from vanilla. Thank you so much!

Abandoned mod.
LaCarpe 18 Apr, 2023 @ 10:20am 
when update ?
Rightraoedhelontidae 18 Apr, 2023 @ 10:18am 
will the 2x2 wheels get their hitboxes improved?
NightWolf 20 Mar, 2023 @ 3:36pm 
I dont think this mod works rn. Every time I engage the parking and release it, the wheels dont work.
FancyCat 7 Mar, 2023 @ 9:43am 
still cant add wheels even tho nothing is in the way.

Victors plug in for building on subgrids, And mod Nanite build mod to build them, and there ya go for rotors :-)
Vas 27 Jul, 2022 @ 12:59am 
I was hoping this would solve my wheel placement issue but it didn't.

Can you add the ability for wheels to not be affected by blocks near the suspension? In this case, if you place the suspension in where the wheel would almost rub against the vehicle, I would like the wheel to still be able to be placed on the suspension.

I mean graphically, it shows the wheel out quite far away from the suspension so I'm not sure why the collision is being blocked. I get that it would need more space for turning, but that should be up to the user to deal with. Not the game to block placement all together. :/

help i have problems, the wheels dont work , i just weirdly jump around
Sparktite 23 Nov, 2021 @ 3:18pm 
So by adjusted hitboxes, do you mean ill be hitting the suspension on the floor less when i pop wheelies and stuff?
Mysterious 10 Nov, 2021 @ 3:46pm 
can we have a port for mod.io?
baph.online 28 Aug, 2021 @ 7:30am 
is this a drop-in replacement, or a part pack? the mod description wasn't clear. thanks!
dragonsphotoworks 24 Aug, 2021 @ 8:37am 
I have been wondering same thing lol Heavy industry should of brought these in. "And paid modder of course lol"
Wygos 24 Aug, 2021 @ 5:04am 
Why this is not vanilla.
dragonsphotoworks 15 Aug, 2021 @ 2:28pm 
If hit box is smaller then visual, it would deffinitly work. I tried make a tank but had issue with the "track" part. Was too much collision lol
BCMortis 15 Aug, 2021 @ 1:51pm 
Question, would it be possible to add wheels with a slightly smaller collision box? When trying to build tank-like vehicles, I keep running into the issue that placing the wheels too close means they conflict with each other, and end up clanging out. If the actual collision was just slightly smaller than the visual model, that might fix that issue.
dragonsphotoworks 8 Aug, 2021 @ 2:01am 
How much would be involved in redoing the wheels to be new wheels instead of changing vanilla wheels? Though thinking as I type I could just boost their strength...
Which values would control traction and propulsion strength? I know some of the values but are others if i recall I didnt know what were for.
GodsAnger 7 Aug, 2021 @ 8:50pm 
I will never forget to add this to my mod list, F keen's wheels and Build and Repair eating wheels all the time. This makes the "Add Wheel" function useful again. Thumbs Up
dragonsphotoworks 3 Aug, 2021 @ 6:19pm 
One question though, Is it possible to add this as new wheels instead of vanilla remakes? I have another wheel mod for increased power for my smaller rovers. And it too modifies vanilla wheels. Could you clone vanilla wheels and give your wheels new ID?
dragonsphotoworks 3 Aug, 2021 @ 6:13pm 
Wow i never saw this mod before! I have been missing what is likely to become my fav wheel mod :-)
Syhkane 26 Jul, 2021 @ 1:07pm 
All of the Large Grid wheels spawn at 45.8 meters instead of their lowest offset but the Small Grid Wheels do, also the Height offsets are all different for each wheel type and each wheel.

Vanilla Wheel Suspensions
- Small Grid
1x1: 40cm
3x3: 45cm
5x5: 80cm - The wheel comes off the model a bit.

- Large Grid
1x1 is 2 Meters
3x3 is 2 Meters
5x5 is 4 Meters - Also comes off the model a bit.

Offroad Wheel Suspensions
- Small Grid
1x1: 32cm
3x3: 32cm
5x5: 50cm - When placed it spawns at -45.8 instead of -50 unlike all the other wheels that attach at the lowest possible height offset.

- Large Grid
1x1: 1.5 Meters
3x3: 1.5 Meters
5x5: 1.5 Meters

@Corrupt Sapphire good deal, let me know if you have any issues. Enjoy!
Sapph 9 Jul, 2021 @ 7:23am 
Fantastic well done bud, looking forward to adding this back to the mod roster on my play throughs
Daniel Lee Howell  [author] 9 Jul, 2021 @ 6:55am 
Fix has been uploaded to address issues with crashing/missing icons. Support for Wasteland DLC wheels has been added as well. If y'all experience any issues please post the details here and I'll look into it.

Thank you for your continued support!
Daniel Lee Howell  [author] 9 Jul, 2021 @ 5:31am 
Hey y'all! Didn't realize this little mod had become so popular. My apologies for not checking back sooner. I'll look into the issues and see if I can get a fix along with adding support for the off-road wheels from the Wasteland DLC. Thanks to all for reporting the issue and details, hopefully it's an easy fix.
Primal_DLove 10 Apr, 2021 @ 3:48pm 
bump for follow
ScratchedWinter 1 Apr, 2021 @ 10:35am 
update pls
Фургон 6 Feb, 2021 @ 1:10am 
Please update this mod to be compatible with Wasterland DLC wheels!
Stray Angel 30 Nov, 2020 @ 12:57am 
Needs and update for wasteland dlc also icons of wheels not showing.
Kam Solastor 29 Nov, 2020 @ 12:25pm 
I'd like to also put my voice in for a request for a update with the Wasteland wheels, if you'd consider it!
Sapph 26 Nov, 2020 @ 8:43am 
Hey bud, love this mod, makes suspension work, currently giving 24 non critical errors after wasteland update, any eta to when you will have updated this inline with new build?
MechanizedCheese 25 Nov, 2020 @ 7:37pm 
is it possible for you to make a wheel mod same as this for the wasteland DLC wheels?

I know adding them into this will make who doesn't have / doesn't want wasteland DLC unable to use this so I am requesting for another mod

Also I am not crashing but the menu Icon for the wheels are gone
BeneficialCorsair 25 Nov, 2020 @ 3:52pm 
this is currently causing crashing with the wasteland update. I'm sure it will be updated soon
JaggedNel 7 Nov, 2020 @ 4:04am 
Here is fully vanilla version of dual wheels. And small grid version .
mmeissnitzer 6 Nov, 2020 @ 10:24pm 
@Rev.Dr.MarinLutherKingJr.Blvd.St adjust traction in the menu
Rev.Dr.MarinLutherKingJr.Blvd.St 5 Nov, 2020 @ 12:35pm 
I cant seem to get any traction with double wheels.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
andigogo 5 Nov, 2020 @ 1:23am 
There is a wheel mod with bigger wheels... No direct need for more travel here, that just change and help a little bit. What i (we) need are such bigger tires to have more friction and go over bigger obstacles. More travel dosnt help here... And with such big tires is it even possible to swim when using the watermod.... only problem with the (big)wheel mod is: the wheels gos CLANG after a while, i think its a collisionproblem maybe and they are little bit to weak ...

Aury: Assuming you have the vehicle in question high enough off the ground.. go ahead and raise it even higher.. then try again.
Talbone 4 Nov, 2020 @ 5:11pm 
can you add 2x2 wheel sizes to this mod as well?
Aury 3 Nov, 2020 @ 3:39am 
I'm having serious trouble getting a wheel on even with your mod. I have basically torn apart every part of the vehicle around the wheel suspension but it just isn't working. I even tried the offset but it is already set to minimum. Do you have any ideas?
