I am unable to place wheels onto suspensions in survival mode
It works in creative.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=554635280

As you can see it had enough space for the wheels:
1. Wheels were bugged.
2. it is unpowered (has uranium in it's finished large reactor)
3. it's floating in the air above a planet without thrusters/power
4. I can't enter it even though I am the owner...

If you space the suspensions correctly the wheel will actually automatically place onto the suspension when you put the suspension down.

You have to place them facing the right way, and you have to space them about 6 blocks (on a small ship) apart from eachother

I build the ship in creative and then in survival i projected it. No wheels in survival. bug? Plenty of space. I assume this is just yet another bug.

Also make sure you (or welder tool) is not in the space the wheel is supposed to spawn.

Sorry, forgot to mention that information is for a 5x5 wheel / suspension, obviously the smaller wheels can be placed closer together.
I grinded down the suspension, turned off the projector, put it back onto it. Still no wheel. Also manually placing wheels is not allowed for some reason. There is PLENTY of space. The vehicle is even floating in the air so also on the bottom side there should be enough space.
Yes I have a 5x suspension and attempt to fit a 5x5 wheel onto it. not allowed.
But again it works in creative but not in survival

One that I have yet to experience.

I think the ship itself desynched somehow from the server. I'll ask an admin later to put wheels onto it in creative mode.

Odd, a friend of mine was actually having his wheels dissappear whenever he moved far enough away, I wonder if it might be a similar issue, or at least, caused by the same bug.

We put the ship even higher, it was not the problem. It's bugged.
An admin put the wheel on it in creative and voila it worked. ****** nonsense this whole planet patch i swear all bugged

Update:
It got worse.

Nice job Keen. 4 bugs for 1 simple vehicle. Sadly not a new record in the amount of bugs per ship but it's a new record for a vehicle. Actually it's more than 4 if we include lighting and such.

I had the same issues with survival creative. Finally stood far enough to the side and the wheel would appear when building the suspension. AFter hours of building I drove the car to the bottom of the ramp. Went back up to clean up and went to go for a ride but all 6 tires were gone and it was sitting on the ground.

Even if I could get this super simple vehicle to work, it would just crash when driving on a planet in MP. Even on flat ground vehicles magically take off into the sky on a regular basis... Or just flip 90 degrees to the side all of a sudden.

On top of that wheels also go through solid objects on a regular basis.

I quit today (again). This game is too buggy all around, not to mention performance.
So okay we crash into the planet, we shoot each other, spawn some vehicles and laugh about the buggy state. After that there is nothing to do. Too buggy. And so tired of dying every 5 minutes to bugs. Or my ship falling out of the sky because the server is saving/someone is connecting, shortly disabling all dampeners.
The planets update is not ready.


Also after connecting the floating vehicle with mergeblocks and a piston back to the station, and unmerging again the reactor suddently started working. But sadly the cockpit still bugged and it also remains floating... This is so buggy.

I have tons of problems with 5x5 wheels. They keep falling off. And no you cannot put them back on in survival mode. so you have to rebuild the whole suspension. fail fail fail
I had this problem 7 months ago, it's still present lol?
