Do wheeled vehicles still randomly flip over?
Last I knew, any time you built a rover or car and drove on a planet there was about 77.77% chance that it would just randomly flip over while driving realativly slowly...or sometimes while it was parked.

Just curious anyone has had this happen to them since the new update. Thanks!

If you try and still have the " flip over " problem = share the car with me and I will try to fix. :fix:
(and report if it's a bug)

Define slow; recall 27.7 m/s is still 100km/h. Additionally where is your vehicles center of gravity (is it sitting above, at or below the wheels -> taking small turns in a vehicle with a high center of gravity can easily roll your vehicle).

Or are you referring to parked vehicles randomly flipping over / exploding on planets?

It'd help if you referenced a time frame.
Otherwise I'd question the speed you were moving, among other questions.

I haven't had flipping wheeled vehicles in a year.....

I use rovers pretty often and they dont flip or explode unless there's a good reason, make sure yours doesnt have something wrong with its wheels or weight distribution.

All is in the "Friction", mass and " weight distribution" like Radioactive... said ^^

My new race car is low profile all in heavy armor =

As you can see in the video, I can turn OK now.

Tho it was not like that before that major wheel update :steamhappy:

Off topic from the original post, but that is a really cool looking race track. Wheeled machines are overlooked in this game to be completely honest. Good job with it.

Also, stuffing a spare gyroscope or two in there somewhere will help with some stability issues, as well as making it easier to get unstuck from a few situations.
