Description
The G.CS-HDT-1 Heavy-Duty Truck by Valkyrja - Maintenance & Engineering is a small grid transport-vehicle with an extendable magnetic hookloader to grab and move objects from A to B.

Designed as a platform, the LUV relies on modifications to make it suitable for its user. By itself, the truck comes without anything but the most basic components to serve as a survival-capable vehicle.

A single large battery provides power for multiple hours, while an hydrogen-engine, an o2/h2-generator and a hydrogen-tank enable the vehicle to store and produce its own fuel. Standard-loadout provides control-seats for two people.
In case the vehicle happens to land on its roof, a gyroscope is set up for override to bring it back on the wheels. And as with most V.M.E-vehicles, a tow hitch is included to attach various trailers to it.


This item is survival-ready, but with limitations! You are required to build and configure the hooklift by hand.

A fix I found for the wheels not spawning in, remove the 2 Hydrogen tanks blocking the 2 front most rear wheels then build the middle one. offset the height to the maximum then the 2 other wheels should spawn in and everything can be repaired with a projector and welder. just remember to lower the middle wheel back down before you drive away.:claptrap:

In case you have not moved on by now: Try grinding down all the rear wheels, then use "x" and gyro-steering to get the rear end in the air and press Toolbar 3 Key 1 to re-apply the wheels. See if that makes the frames for all the wheels spawn.
This rover is due to an update and I will see if I can find the issue somehow. But will not be back on the PC before next week.

Pretty much when I fully create the on a projector when I would get to the back. The back middle wheels wouldn't let me weld them into place sometime I could but then the back tire wouldn't be placed.

Thank you for reporting. Unfortunately, I was not able to replicate this issue. Both in survival and creative the wheel does spawn without an issue. Can you guys provide some additional context? Were you trying to spawn the vehicle or build it via projector? Any conflicting mods or plugins maybe?

ye same problem, it seems that game do not want to spawn middle back wheel

Hey @ghoulishly,
I'm sorry but you have to be a bit more specific. What issues are you facing exactly?
ghoulishly 24 Mar, 2024 @ 2:05pm 
hi question ive been having issues with the middle back wheel do you have a recommendation to fix this?
Merciz 6 Mar, 2024 @ 12:37am 
hmm, i think i can adapt it to what i need, the shape is just about right for what i'm gonna change ( also it's quite good on it's own as well, just making sure i give it and you a thumbs up before using it )
