- Hello Everyone and welcome to Space Engineers, in this video i show you my thoughts on the next mega build for my nomadic survival series.

Just saw the thumbnail and I'm letting you know that that is the best way to make a super-sized rover.
Pretty sure any of those suspension schemes on the server I play on would give the admins heart attacks.
This channel is super underrated I want to find a way to get more people to find this channel
Thanks
Finally, someone that also leaves their creations out on their save like a display! I thought I was a odd one out hoarder.
No I do it allot as well, much to my pcs dismay
@@quantumchief Haha, usually my newer saves are nice and clean, but the old ones have a creation on every kilometer of the planet
@@itswindyyy yep
You are not alone I am also a hoarder of stuff in my worlds
Once you start using rotors/hinges/pistons for more flexibility, you create weak points that are more prone to failure.
The more sub-grid "wheel clusters" you use, the more opportunities for failure you'll introduce.
Clang appreciates your generous offerings, but he is greedy and wants more.
I think that first example you showed is probably the most stable/sturdy, and like you said, once you put some weight on it, it will keep all the wheels on the ground better than the demonstration.
Yea, from what I’ve heard so far I think that’s what I’ll do just remove the roll on the wheels
15:26 that's either an attempt at steering or at tilting some of the mechanism horizontally to make it smaller
Some really nice concepts there. Good job!
I'd lose the underside wheels and the cambre hinges.. Having the wheels go sideways is really not what you want.
Maybe
with the suspention, rather then just using the steer of the wheels also rotate the pods, that helps with preventing klang collisions as well as making it more nimble, also if the modules have a single connection point where they connect to the suspention bit you can have a welder pod to make them and just mount them onto the rover chassis, so you can replace them when needed
A video for me!... if I still played SE.
I managed to build a rover larger than yours, and has better constant ground contact. though if grid contact is enabled, it tends to blow the suspension appart....
I think the first thing to do is make the guts of the rover with everything you need for a mobile base. Then you can see what is needed for the rover size wise. I have a 6 wheeler with rocker suspension that has all you need for a mobile base.
Rotors and Hinges always klang out on moving vehicles for me.
I went down this suspension rabbit hole before their were hinges and later after. Are you using a script to add spring action to the hinges? I was aware there was one out there but never tried it. I think there is a prototype still in my workshop.
I'm not sure if you're using mods for your series or not but there is at least one wheel mod (steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2745706747) that adds larger wheels with an attachment point on top of the wheelbase to get even more height. The wheels in this one can be 7x7 or 15x15. There is another mod (steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2467276141) that adds truly monstrous 25x25 wheels on a typical base.
As a builder of many large-wheeled vehicles, I feel your pain! Your initial design has the right of it though...the best way to build really big (without the larger wheels mentioned above) is to hinge the thing in the middle. However, both halves should also rotate to allow for different degrees of slope from the front to the back.
i don't really want to use mods for building as i like the challenge but something that can bend over the landscape is an interesting idea
having those wheels in the middle seem kinda unnecessary and really power hungry what are you losing from just having standard 8 wheel setup?
also im pretty sure in terms of performance large grid wheels are still pretty weak if you could make small grid tank track like wheel modules you may be better off
Are you using the rotor spring script?
I haven’t it’s just limited ranges and I’m using the torque of the hinges
@@quantumchief I have a design that is simply hinges with the wheels on the end and rotor spring on the hinges. It loosens the wheels up and allows quicker suspension travels and at times greater travel. Easy in survival, and A 4x4 that can climb mountains with out thruster boost cause all wheels are making contact.
I don't get on discord but I can put my latest up on steam if interested at a look.
@@Acirno sure yea ill check it out if you send me the link
...DAS script can autolevel uneven loads....
