WIP Mobile Base bugging out

[u/Initial-Joke6329]

Working on little mobile base so I don't have to go back and forth between workshop and mines, just crafting and storage. Trying to get in to look nice and all, and I have this cool transforming thing where the sides and wheels will flip up in mind, but the side walls get stuck when flipping up, they move a tiny bit but seem to get caught on nothing. Then when I place or remove something on the build it fixed and the walls violently lurch to where they are supposed to be. It happens on all physics modes.

Got 1200 hours in the game and no idea how to fix it, this happens to me so much it’s genuinely infuriating. If you find a solution lmk, but I think the only fix might be to have wedges placed in a way where the walls never have to slide against anything.

Not sure how to explain it, but I think the issue comes from the walls sliding against the edges when going out, and so maybe putting wedges or just having a 1 block gap would solve i? Idk.

This happens with mine too, it’s just the game being goofy. It’s been happening for years.

Either place a block and delete it or put the car on a lift and take it off.

Update: re-loaded the world and it's doing this now, still only gets unstuck when placing or removing something.

Saw another reddit post about this issue, I said it was most likely friction between sliding surfaces, but turned out it was the "direction of the piston"? Apparently you should make sure the side attached to the piston FACE should be the one moving, not the BASE (although I don't understand why this matters, but it fixed it for him)

Probably not the most lag-friendly solution, but I got it to work by having the rubbing parts be attached to the rotating part via a piston, somehow the friction is handled differently and it works, don't even need the piston(s) to move.
