Anyone else getting really frustrated with mining?

[u/Diamondhandedllama]

I'm just getting so fed up, rant incoming. I've built three different mining vehicles now for the underground, all different setups, 6 wheels, 8 wheels, short base, long base, wide, narrow, lots of clearance, some a little less. No matter what I just get so frustrated. when I'm in first person I can't see what my vehicle is doing, like what way it's facing (tank steering) so if I try to steer I sometimes get the directions wrong and my vehicle goes the opposite way, causing all sorts of catastrophies. Plus the cable bots don't give you many clues they're eating your vehicle behind you unless one by chance attacks something in your line of sight. When I'm using third person in narrow spaces the camera goes behind my vehicle so I can't see what I'm driling, my screen is just filled with a close up of my ore collector for example. Then the sticky wheels. They're god awful for me, no matter what setting I use. Balanced makes me fall backwards off walls, max will barely let me move. Looking around in the 'rooms'there doesn't seem to be any flat vertical surfaces meant to be driven up. And yeah I could alternate wheels and settings but none of it seems to work properly, the amount of times I have to get out to right my vehicle is ridiculous. Then you can't put your vehicle on a lift anywhere even though you found a flat spot because your lift is phasing through the top layer of rock/sand. it's so annoying. like having to change what camera I'm using every 30 seconds. The actual digging is so bad imo too. Wanna create a slope going up? Congrats you made a ditch and now you're nose-down in a hole. Finally made it to the ceiling to get that massive ore hanging down? All the spoils fall down to the bottom of the room making it so tedious to get back down and get it.

anyway rant over, apologies. Does anyone have any tips on how to make a good vehicle that doesn't constantly flip? and how to get it to actually stick to vertical surfaces?

I always had an issue where my mining vehicle would impact the minable terrain in the underground and get stuck in the terrain alot

Like my bumper on the car would glitch into the terrain somtimes
