Wheels stop turning, lightning

Need More Information

I recently fond an incredibly annoying issue in where the wheels of my rover simply stopped working. It only happened with one, though, so I turned the friction off and kept going. I finally gave in to the annoyance and took to the internet. I saw an old thread from three years ago, mentioned at the bottom of the post. It mentioned my issue, but since the issue was not replicable, it was archived.


Another wheel went down. It got struck by lighting. I stayed there for a little while, and after a few more lighting strikes, another wheel went down. it may be worth noting that lightning damage is toggled off in my world. Either way, I replicated the issue and wanted to share. It's also worth noting that I fixed the issue by reloading the world.

Hello Clayton,

Thank you for writing to us.

The issue with the wheels stopping from turning seems to be the same as the one discussed in this thread we've already reported internally.

However, the other issue you experienced, where the wheels got struck by lightning and then seized up, could you please let us know if this occurred in a modded world or in a vanilla (unmodded) world?

If it was in a vanilla world, and since you've already replicated the issue on your end, please send us a screen recording/video showing the wheel's behavior before and after the lightning strike, along with the save file of the vanilla world where you encountered this issue.

  • You can access your save files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves. There should be a folder with your SteamID and your saves.
  • Please zip the file and attach it here. If you are having difficulty attaching files you can optionally use Google Drive. When sharing a google drive link please make sure it is set to be downloadable by anyone with the link.

Kind Regards,

Keen Software House: QA Department
