On Mars, every craft that I have attempted to land such as Starship, will slide after landing and tip over/explode. Its as if you were landing on ice, it is unbelievably frustrating. Please fix ;p

    Dev Notes: Terrain physics quads have no physics material by default. The wheel colliders grab the material via call to ".material" which generates a default physics material for the quad (which is never destroyed). Using ".sharedMaterial" would be more efficient, except it returns null due to no explicitly configured default. Ideally, we would have the friction be defined by the primary biome for the quad, then assign a physics material when the quad is created.
     
    That being said.... I don't believe this would actually fix the complaint in the bug report... its still very frustrating

    Dev Notes: It does appear that we are not using any physics materials on the terrain physics quads.
