Mech that "skiis" using wheeled arms to push itself and drag itself up hills. It will climb most terrain or at least not get stuck in awkward voxels.

Needs a bit of practice to pilot. Try to keep speed <50m/s for safest operation.

Increase wheel friction to max when climbing hills.
Decrease wheel friction to around 50-60% on flats to reduce flipping at speed.

Press number 4 on page 2 of the Toolbar to set the torque values for the arms every time mass or local gravity changes.
This will give the most consistent control feeling.

"Backpack" (survival kit) can be removed or customised. Fit weapons or O2 for example.

Uses Whip's Subgrid wheels for WASD control.

All controls are on the Seat LCD screen.

You can also tilt it onto it's face - everything else other than the feet has friction.
If you depower also it will drop onto its face

Could have given more info, issue was that I wanted to park it next to our base which didn't have a garage yet - which is on an incline, so it would just start sliding down the hill, but thanks for the help :D

All controls are written on the control seat LCD - if you have scripts enabled on your world then just use WASD to control.

It is a little slidy since the feet friction is set to 0. You can increase this to about 3% to try reduce sliding but might impact how well it climbs rocks

Ah, I found out 2+3/4 works, I think :D
