🔧 What Is the Treadwheel?

The Treadwheel is a new ground vehicle introduced in the Lost Harvest update. Unlike the Sandbike, it emphasizes rapid acceleration and tight handling, making it ideal for weaving through rough terrain or escaping encounters quickly. Its top speed is slightly lower than the fastest Sandbike, but its control and responsiveness make up for it.

🗝 How to Unlock the Treadwheel

1. Own the Lost Harvest DLC – Access to the Treadwheel requires this expansion.

2. Complete the DLC Questline – Progress through the main Lost Harvest story until you finish the quest called “Secrets of the Past.” This unlocks the schematics needed to craft the Treadwheel.

🛠 Crafting the Treadwheel

Once you have the schematics, you’ll build the Treadwheel at the Vehicle Fabricator. It starts at Mk4 level, so be prepared for higher-tier resource requirements than earlier vehicles.

Typical parts include:

• Hull (Mk4)

• Chassis (Mk4)

• Power Supply Unit (Mk4)

• Engine (Mk4)

• Treads (Mk4)

• Passenger Seat (Mk1)

• Scanner (Mk2)

• Boost Module (Mk4)

• Inventory Module (Mk2)

Because it begins at Mk4, you’ll need advanced crafting resources and time investment to assemble it fully.

🚗 Treadwheel Performance

• Acceleration: Extremely fast — one of its biggest strengths.

• Handling: Excellent control with a tight turning radius; useful for navigating tight spaces or uneven terrain.

• Grip: Lower than Sandbike, giving it a slightly floaty feel, but this helps with quick reversals and maneuvering.

• Top Speed: Below Sandbike’s peak, but overall travel time balances out because you reach speed faster.

⚡ Tips to Unlock & Craft Faster

• Advance Story First: Focus on clearing the Lost Harvest questline efficiently to reach the schematic unlock point.

• Stockpile Materials Early: Farm Mk4 resources in advance so you aren’t stuck waiting when it’s time to build.

• Build in Phases: Start with core components (Hull, Engine, Treads) to get the Treadwheel functional, then add optional modules like Inventory or Passenger Seat.
