Rubber Wheel
Rubber wheels provide much better traction and allow the construction of more modern vehicles.
Notes
The Rubber Wheel is a mid-to-late-game component used to construct advanced powered vehicles, including the Excavator, Scorpion, Skid Steer, and Truck. It is crafted from a recipe of the same name and provides better traction than earlier wheel types, enabling more modern vehicle builds. If you are working toward mechanized mining or bulk transport, ensure a steady supply of Rubber Wheels is available to keep vehicle production on schedule.
