Suspension blocks with no wheels have their "height offset" function disabled.

Suspension blocks with no wheels have their "height offset" function disabled, making it impossible to add or replace wheels on vehicles with suspension laying flat on the ground. If that functionality was not disabled with no wheels present, a player would be able to lift the block's height offset before adding wheels to a height where the added wheel's hit box is not occupied by the surface below the vehicle.

Correct. There is no compelling reason for the user to grey out those options when the wheel is not present, just as there is no compelling reason for greying out override sliders when the override is inactive, etc. This is just pointless chicanery by horrible GUI design.


Voted.

Did this change w/ the Wasteland update? I could swear I recently adjusted the height offset on suspensions for the express purpose of adding wheels to a new build.

Maybe BuildVision allows you to adjust these things outside of the Control Panel..... I'd have to get back into the game to test that theory.

Sadly, it does not. In BV, the menu entries are added or removed on the fly as they would be enabled or disabled in the terminal when the respective wheel is present or absent.

This is still the case in 1.199.025 and is still pointless and needlessly obstructive.

Still happening, still pointless, still annoying, in 1.201.013.

Still greyed out in 1.203.5

And it does make no sense whatsoever. The suspension is the part that is supposed to have the adjustment mechanics, not the (missing) wheel.

Should not be that hard to fix either...

Should. But we all know how Keen handles things that should.
