Small Update

Awesome! the wheels look really cool!

Also, I read that there's gonna be a 1x1 meter wheel and a slider? Is the slider for modding purposes or will we be able to adjust the wheel size ourselves?

[Antypodish]

Glad you like it :)

There will be some sliders, but because technical issues, no siider for adjusting wheel size. At least not yet. You will be able to select different wheels and sizes from the menu, similar as other blocks.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, these look amazing! I can't wait to use these!

But just wondering, is there gonna be a 1x1m wheel? I've been working on 1:1 scale tanks and on cars the 2m vanilla wheels look absolutely huge.

[Antypodish]

Sure thing, here is an example with small wheels :)

Oh, ok. When I watched the video I couldn't tell if they were 1 meter lol

But these look ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kickass

[Antypodish]

I feel like small wheels are a bit overpowered, but there is a little weight on the vehicle in above video. When adding weight, then they won't be as that good :)
So I am not touching them for now. I have already nerfed them a bit.
Will see.

[Allirog]

Yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking maybe make their possible speeds higher but lower their cross country performance?

[Antypodish]

Can you explain what you exactly mean?

[Admiral Obvious]

Higher speed, assuming that's what he wants, is higher speed.

Cross country performance usually refers to fuel efficiency, or terrain handling/ground resistance. You can't do the second one as far as I'm aware, all terrain is counted the same right?

[Antypodish]

Thx for an explenation.
Yes, each terrain is the same. They differ only with a texture.
Maybe in the future there will be something, to make different surfaces behaviour, etc.
Easiet would be, based on area, or what I would called "drag" texture. Just like bump map is black to white, same "drag" texture would work. Just in theory.

Fuel consumption is indeed increased, with max speed increase. So that works on this side.
