WheelBlocks

Wheel Blocks are blocks that are used for ground movement, and consist of wheels, tracks, and skids.

If there is too much weight on them, they will be overloaded and will not move nearly as well as when they are not weighed down. If they are weighed down sparks will emit from the wheels when moving and an alert will pop up from the overloaded wheels.

Blocks subtypes[ | ]

Wheels[ | ]

Wheels are, unsurprisingly, the most common variant of wheel block. They come in many different varieties, with different purposes and roles. There is also a variant of wheels designed as landing gear, which will retract inward if a tech becomes airborne.

Tracks[ | ]

Tracks are used similarly to wheels, but they are more specialized for heavier techs, with higher weight capacities and more grip strength, but slower speed on average. Due to being much longer than normal wheels, they can handle sharper pieces of terrain more easily than wheels can, and are less prone to getting stuck.

Skids[ | ]

Skids are a special kind of wheel block typically used for flying techs as a form of landing gear. they can't propel the tech forward on their own, but they can slide across the ground quite smoothly if the attached tech has another form of propulsion, such as propellors or thrusters. all current skid blocks will retract if the attached tech becomes airborne.

  • The top speed was derived through in-game experiments (minimal tech composition with redundant wheels) and might contain some margin of error, and also might not transfer to the heavier techs.
