Trying to build it in survival mode, and the middle wheels won't spawn in. Too close to the front and back wheels.

Hello WorteL_WurM the drills are on a other grid for the game engine and can not be projected with the projector. ad a second piston then a drill. after that put all Pistions into the block group called "Pistons Groundhog"

I cant seem to get it to build the drill heads and cannot add it manually. Any idea to what im doing wrong? The drill heads does not show on the blueprint for me either

Thanks so the angle is gyro controlled. I am currently playing on alien and I am having a hard time finding cobalt so rover mining is a top priority.

Hello JuanPinoy, thanks for the question. If the Rover just heads forward without manipulating its elevation using the gyros it will dig down slowly. the shaft gets steper and steper and at the end it crashes. but if you slightly lift the elevation it can dig horizontal and even upward at an angel. Hope that helps. Let me know if you need anything else ;)

I wonder how well does it drill. Is the path drivable afterwards? Or does it basically punch into the ground?

your very welcome let me know if you need anything else :)

Hello Markhodson68 try removing armor or other block that pertrude from the craft near the rear wheel suspension
MarkH68 21 Jan, 2023 @ 2:41am 
Bit late to the party with this one but I can't get the 2 rearmost right wheels to build, the suspension is there but the wheels won't weld up. Is there a fix/work around for this
