Plan your next Besiege session
Our independent guide walks you through Besiege’s core tools, helping you refine engineering instincts, experiment with physics, and leverage community creations without relying on external tutorials.
01 / THE GUIDE
basic structure test
Build a simple frame using only structural blocks. Add a heavy weapon and observe how weight distribution affects stability, then reinforce supports where the frame bends.
- Start each level with a simple chassis to test basic movement.
- Iterate designs after each failure to improve stability.
02 / THE GUIDE
propulsion comparison
Create two identical machines, one using wheels and the other using a propulsion block. Run each in a straight line and note differences in acceleration and handling.
- Coordinate builds with teammates before a match.
- Balance offensive power and defensive durability in PvP.
03 / THE GUIDE
ai defense scenario
Use the level editor to place a small AI army behind a wall. Design a machine that can breach the defense, watching how physics‑based collisions influence success.
- Use hinges for moving parts such as flippers or rotating weapons.
- Check balance before adding heavy components.
04 / THE GUIDE
multiplayer coordination
Team up with a friend in co‑op mode. One builds a heavy battering ram while the other creates a fast scout; together complete a level objective.
- Test logic scripts with a simple machine first.
- Save versions frequently while editing.
05 / THE GUIDE
workshop integration
Download a highly rated community machine, disassemble it to understand its design choices, then incorporate its effective elements into your own creations.
- Browse top‑rated creations for inspiration.
- Keep mods updated for compatibility.
