Building tips ?

[Kruel]

Hello there, i am kinda new into this game and i am trying to build some decent vehicle in last couple of hours, but i still struggle with whole physic mechanic :D Can someone give me some tips or trick how to build more efficient ? I tried longer car, shorter car, weight in different parts of vehicle, but i still cant figured it out.

I am at 1st mech station i guess where i built crafting bot and some decent wheels, engine and seat. But each time i build something decent, my car instantly flip in any turn, or if i go slower it start spin in direction i try to turn :D Ty for any tips or suggestions

I kinda watched his vids, but still my car doesnt work as easy as his :D And i assume he has better knowladge of how things work in game, but i dont so even if i see him how he doing stuff, that doesnt mean that i understand why he doing it like that and thats because i missing some pieces, any many tips vids on youtube are kinda outdated or old so i dont expect that they will be helpfull as much as few simple tips from players who have more experience with game than i do :)

Wider wheelbase means you can make a taller vehicle without flipping. I.E Make the vehicle Left to Right wider.
This has a limit though, suspension can help and absorb some of the "Lean" and set you back upright.

Longer wheelbase I.E Front to Rear means it's harder to frontflip/backflip from torque or improper Center of Gravity.

if it helps to think about what I'm saying
Wider wheelbase think of tanks IRL
Longer wheelbase think of motorcycles with swing-arm extensions or pro drag cars IRL

Hi, ty for neat tips. So essentialy longer and wider vehicles will be more stable than shorter and less wider vehicles and weight should be distributed according to need. So if my car tend to go up (like upper part of my vehicle) i should add some weight in front or build it from harder mats. Yeah that should kinda work and that explain why my 1st prototype of 3wheels "motorbike" didnt work :D

PS: Sometimes i just need to hear it or read it from someone who know what he does ;) and thx to this i better understand what should i do
