Category:Mobility

This category is an overview of blocks that are essential for building mobile grids such as space ships and rovers. Your player mobility depends on the Jetpack and Magnetic Boots.

Essential mobility blocks you need to use:

• Cockpits give you movement control (on PC: using the WASD keys)
• Gyroscopes give you pitch, roll, yaw control (on PC: with the mouse and Q/E keys)
• Mobility blocks are specialised for different environments:
  • Flyers need thrusters) in all six directions
    • Atmospheric thrusters for planes
    • Ion thrusters for space ships
    • Hydrogen thrusters for hybrid shuttles and as boosters
  • Vehicles (race cars, trucks, tanks, rovers...) use wheels and suspensions)
  • Mechas use mechanical legs to walk

To stabilise planetary vehicles and walkers, keep the Center of Mass as low as possible and the wheelbase wide and symmetric. Place heavy blocks like batteries and cargo containers low between the wheels to prevent flipping.

Spaceships, even with asymmetric thruster placement, automatically prevent tailspinning by applying thrust directly to the Center of Mass. To make gyroscope rotation feel more intuitive, keep the Center of Mass and the main cockpit close to each other.
