Floor blocks have too much grip

Niouki shared this bug 20 days ago
Investigating

I have no idea whether this is a bug or a feature but the floor blocks added with the Fieldwork DLC have too much grip and feel horrible to drive on with a car/rover. Turning will cause you to flip or drive on half of your wheels. Not ideal. Please reduce their grip to be more like that of armor blocks or voxels!

Hello Niouki,

Thank you for writing to us on the forum.

Could you kindly share some more information about this issue?

Did this issue occur in a modded single-player world, a multiplayer lobby, or on a server? Was the world or server modded (i.e., does it have active MODs)?

If so, could you please check if the issue still occurs in an unmodded/vanilla world or dedicated server (DS)? You can do this by pasting the rover into a vanilla world or dedicated server (DS) and trying to drive it over the block in question as well as over other similar blocks. Does the issue behave the same way on both the questioned block and the other blocks?

If the issue is persistent on both types of blocks, we recommend checking your rover’s wheel and suspension settings to ensure they are properly configured.

However, if the issue only occurs on the specific block in question and not on other types of blocks, please send us a screen recording/video showing the issue, along with the vanilla/unmodded world or DS save file where this issue occurs.

  • You can access your single player world & Lobby (if you are the host) 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. The Dedicated Server save files can be found in the AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Saves folder.
  • Please zip the file and attach it here. If you are having difficulty attaching save files or videos, 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

The issue occurs on unmodded singleplayer worlds, like the one I attached. I made a plaftorm with the following block types:

  • Light Armor Block
  • Heavy Armor Block
  • Interior Wall
  • Sci-Fi Interior Wall
  • Light Armor Panel
  • Floor Center & Floor 3x3 Slab (mix)

The issue happens with:

  • Sci-Fi Interior Wall
  • Light Armor Panel
  • Floor Center & Floor 3x3 Slab (mix)

So I poorly formulated the title, because multiple types of blocks have the issue. I'm no expert but it seems that the issue happens on blocks that don't form a mesh together (like armor and the default interior wall).

The world already contains vehicles with various powers and masses. There is a regular car, a sports car, a race car, a fully-loaded truck and a bus (note: it won't go unless you close both doors, in toolbar 2) ready for testing.

I hope this helps
