<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Hydraulic cylinders are robotic parts added with the [[Breaking Ground]] DLC that allow objects to be moved closer or further away in a straight line.<br />
<br />
== Common uses ==<br />
<br />
=== Cargo elevators ===<br />
Hydraulic cylinders can be used as cargo elevators to lower objects from a [[cargo bay]] which can be conveniently located at an aircraft's [[center of gravity]]. This is a low-drag and low-risk approach for handling cargo.<br />
<br />
=== Rover hopping ===<br />
Hydraulic cylinders can be used to make rovers jump over (typically) short distances, although much greater distances are possible on particularly low-G bodies like [[Minmus]].<br />
<br />
=== Variable wheel spacing ===<br />
Hydraulic cylinders can be used to extend a rover's wheels away from its center-of-gravity to give it a more stable stance for driving over uneven terrain. The cylinders can also be retracted when the rover needs to be made compact enough to transport in a cargo bay.<br />
