The build date from 2017 and I don't think he update his builds.

@parkasever This build is great, but it now has one large problem. The refinery now blocks the wheels from spawning, and the wheels stop the refinery from being built

there is no way to put the wheels so close :(

I think i understand what you mean... i tried both versions... at first let it built by nanites, as i saw the tires ar emissing, removed i the rest of the blocks, added tires and tried the blocks after again. no chance... Tires are to close to the own other blocks. Iam not sure if there is a setting now where you can adjust the distanze between wheels and the axlestuff... have to check....

@andigogo - You've built it in Survival! Great! - either the ground is in the way and you will have to lift it up before the wheels can be spawned. OR one of the recent updats might have changed the allowed distances from wheel grids to other blocks. Try placing them FIRST or maybe wider.

Hi, i build it now but i dont get the wheels on. Somehting is in the way. Whats the trick to get the wheels on it?? is it just to put a 3x3 wheel on the wheelbase?

Use it while you can - the 0 friction wheels might not end up in the final game.

@parkaserver - its that simple?! i've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do this. XD

@zenol - Turn the wheel and set its friction to 0. Then use some kind of thruster for movement.

how do you make it hover like that? i want to make a land speeder that does the same thing.

Why it start to feeling me that I play in Ex Machina? (one old game)

@Bones: Yes. I was driving another "skimmer" over a base landing pad and it worked.

Ok, so this is fantastic! Now all we need is an invisable wheel mod and hovercraft are a go :) Question thou does this work moving over armor blocks?

@parkaserver welp how did I miss that? Thanks anyways.

This is BRILLIANT!

honestly i havent tried using the "hover wheels" method with autopilot. nice touch! although i havent played in about three months, and the wheel-tread glitch is new to me. how did you pull that off?

@saqib126 - add FRICTION to the wheels. Or add another thruster to the front (there is an available spot)

Is there some way to get it to stay in place? I keeps wandering around, and sadly for me slamed itself into a cliff, other than that, great little refinery bot.

Very cool concept, multiplayer did not like it though and sent it cartwheeling into the distance. still very cool :D

Fucks sake, wasn't long untill someone exploited wheels in this manner
(not really, wheels were added ~3 years ago)

It's sliding? so it's glitch use i think...

You sir, have just paved the way to many a hover-car I believe.

Played with this on earthlike, mars and titan, and with a few tweaks works fantastic! Added a hydro to front refinery port, moved camera, pinched in an ore detector, added a pilot seat up top and have plans to expand it a little more. I added the hydro to the front, as it seemed to stabalize it a little more, doesnt drift as much. The remote retrieval is awesome, saves time for sure. Seems pretty durable, had it in a few bad situations in rocky/hilly areas, but it pulled through with a little pilot finesse. Superb design!

so the wheels make it float.....interesting

hi chasseur

This is great! Will it work on the alien planet too? and can you swap out the thrusters for athomspeheric ones on earth?

Will you ever create something bad? It's getting boring, amazing craft after amazing craft afrer amazing craft... Shame on you! :P

neat hover craft... i wonder if you can make it even bigger, or itll be to bulky to move smoothly?

Slick giant drone!

This series is amazing! Keep up the good work!

Microbot series uses regular parts in a new way, so this base floats on large wheels turned sideways.

looks like he just used wheels with the friction at 0

How exactly are you making it hover?

Got it, so manual assist with very rough terrain.

It's a production vehicle - a basic, unarmed model. It has multiple weapon hardpoints that you can upgrade if you want firepower. It handles rough terrain well. The only problem I've found is with the autopilot it has trouble to go over steep hills (but no problem with manual piloting).

Very nice:) does it work on rough terrain? Oh, definatly not a floating fortress, I used my corvette against it and it pretty much melted.

This is so nice! Good job and nice to see that microbots or now it seems bots are making a comeback.
