Large Rover Help
I am having some problems getting my large rover to move. I have doubled the wheels, but it still will not go anywhere. Am I missing something, or does it just need 100 more wheels?

Hi, tha total mass may be too much, we have to add a few Forward and backward thrusters when the car is too heavy (not by adding wheels).

I will go test your creation and feedback later ...

Well looks like there is a Workshop problem at the moment because I can't download your Blueprint, it just does not show in game F10 so I will try again later.

I will add, you may try by publishing in a world save and paste the item link here when ready so I can try to load.

>> How to publish a world save :

1 - Select your save.

2 - Click the "Publish" button on the left.

3 - Choose a proper Tag, check Steam upload and click the OK button.

4 - Your world will be uploaded to Steam Workshop.

5 - Paste the Workshop item link here.

Strange thing is that I can download other Blueprints very fast and can paste in my world, it's just your Blueprint that I can't see at all = Very strange ???

I just tested by subscribing to the Blueprints on the front page of the Workshop and all good.

That is so bizarre, give me just a few and I'll see about getting it uploaded. Please stand by, and thank you for the replies, I greatly appreciate you

I was able to load without the 28 Mods so to skipped the 2GB download and noticed the rover is too heavy where the Gyroscope are slowing down the car working against it, also some wheels were colliding with other wheels when turning.

+ I noticed all the upward Hydro thrusters and I recommend to avoid doing so, I mean you create a ship or a car but not both when building that Big cause you will have problems.

Remove some blocks to lower the total Mass :

1 - Delete the Upward thrusters.
2 - Delete the Gyroscopes.

+
3 - Delete the colliding wheels, the ones in the center because they touch each other when turning, or disable steering on the ones in the center so they will not collide.

I will add :

You can use forward, backward and downward thrusters on cars to help going up and down hills and avoid adding Upwards because that will give you more problems.
