Tiny motorbike

Description
The smallest motorbike I could build using the new 2x2 short wheels
( Link to bigger 3x3 bike https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3041286405 )


I Call em "Lil Ike"




Dirt cheap to build, extremely durable and agile AF.

I've been doing 360 blackflips and trial over my base ever since I built this thing.


Use mouse to steer and Q & E to balance (in sharp turn, jump tricks and such).

REQUIRED: Automatons DLC because of the Saddle Cockpit but everything else is cosmethic.


NOTES:

1: Using mouse for steering instead of WASD enables you to steer while only one wheel is touching the ground (ideal for off-road, trial, tricks, high speed slalom, sharp turns, airborne corrections... everything, really). Also, it frees up your fingers and lets you focus on balancing (Q & E). It allows for MUCH finer control than with WASD.
2: Reactor can be fed through the saddle cockpit
3: Wheels' friction is set for off-road by default. If racing on metal blocks, e.g. a racetrack, tune friction a bit higher.

Thank you so much for the info c:

@Srcqwrn The normal gyro is for regular steering/control and the one on override is mainly there to help the bike stay upright longer without needing to balance it.

I've been wondering, what exactly do the gyros do? I see one is set to override, and the other is normal?
TheKrab 5 Feb @ 1:12pm 
The gyros were configured correctly. When I paste it into a creative world it functions properly, will try it on a survival world Im hosting instead of one I joined

The bike INSTANTLY falling and not being able to control it at all makes me think something is wrong with the gyroscopes. Check them out; one gyro is normal, the other one should be on override.

Let me know if you have any more issues

follow up 2: I managed to get it built by placing my own wheel suspensions but now it wont even stand up by itself, it just instantly fell over onto its side and can't move at all
TheKrab 4 Feb @ 5:46pm 
follow up: it seems like you can't build the opposite side suspension if a wheel has been placed, but can't place a wheel if both suspensions on either side are present
TheKrab 4 Feb @ 5:23pm 
when I try to build this projection with BuildAndRepairSystem it refuses to build all 4 suspensions
John Long  [author] 24 Jan @ 9:56am 
That's because the wheels are 2x2 but they don't have full 2x2 collisions and I placed blocks abusing that fact. You actually have to build certain blocks in a certain order.

Try removing everything, leaving only the saddle, the wheels' suspensions and minimum faring connecting it all, then place the wheels and lastly, build the rest of the faring/body blocks.
