1x1 suspension is really 3x3
I just bought it and wanted to build my first rover, but whenever I choose the 1x1 wheel with suspension from the menu and want to place it, the suspension shows as the huge 3x3 one but with a 1x1 wheel attached. When I try to place 3x3 or 5x5, the correct sizes show. When I build the faulty "1x1", it still is huge, but the wheel is 1x1. Due to the huge suspension system, I cant even lower the wheel enough to make it touch ground.

I assume this is a bug..? Anyone know whats up?

The hotbar symbols with a + on them contain multible blocks, you can switch between them with mousewheel when selected.

yes I know that, but the model for the 1x1 and the 3x3 is the same for me. the 5x5 is bigger, but when i switch from 3x3 to 1x1, only the wheel size changes. the suspension block is still the same size

correct the suspension sizes are the same and mount the differing size wheels.

That is normal, the 1x1 wheel is more usefull for mechanical constructions than actuall driving.

I saw tutorial videos though where they built "tiny" rovers with small suspensions and their video showed it to be the 1x1. Did they scale that up?

You can switch between small and large blocks by selecting a block in the toolbar twice.
I gues that is what you saw in those videos, keep in mind you can not directly connect small and large blocks without a rotor or connector in between.

THAT'S IT!! Thank you! I always saw the symbols for small and large but never thought about what they would mean.
