using this mod on mimas is fucking terrifying. normally mimas is able to somewhat manage to limit speed just from all the craters. acceleration added by this mod turns each crater into a launch ramp for extreme stunts. you'll do those stunts whether you want to or not. you'll also land in massive holes in the ground where you get to abandon or unbuild your rover.

i suspect this is beyond the scope of this mod, but would it be possible to convert the rover to 4 wheel drive? with the current rover you've got a short wheelbase, rear drive, and it weighs about as much as a baseball; it's the kind of vehicle you give to someone if you want them dead. i love it, but seeing the front wheels pressed to the ground (has traction, but unpowered) and the rear wheels spin freely (whirrr!) now triggers "grab crowbar" from muscle memory for me. nowhere else would you grab a crowbar to do nice things for motor vehicles.

Yes, but this happens to me in base game rover as well it's just more muted with its slower speeds and accelerations. It's not really even time based - if you move forwards, then let go of the key and press backwards it's like it's stuck going forwards at first.

I guess I can look into it anyways :)

does everyone experience the wicked input delay on the rover? or is that just a me thing? its about a full second of delay on moving forward or backwards, sometimes it feels like more.

I will say, the Rover feels "best" on Mars although it doesn't feel like it handles well on any world mod or not. I'm playing Venus at the moment since I did my defogger mod, and had to change the settings for the rover around - lowering the torque/friction a bit since the gravity is higher

@IAmTheRealBeef

thanks for clearing that up for me. about 5 minutes of playing terrain update and it was clear the rover was needed though.

It's been in the game on and off since the beginning, my first version of this mod is from more than 4 years ago (not on workshop, only github as that was the thing back then for BepInEx mods).

The big enclosed Mk2 rover is currently hidden and who knows if/when it will return, but the Mk1 rover is available again as of the terrain update (and was also in beta afaik).

how long has there been a rover?

right on ! looking forward to your updates !

It currently does not, but that's something I can look into for a future update
For now it changes speed/torque and the buttons

does this fix 3rd person view while in the rover?
