Plan your next Beyond Sandbox session
Our independent guide examines Beyond Sandbox’s core systems—physics, multiplayer, modding, VR controls and cross‑platform play—so you can observe how each works and make informed choices without relying on hidden bonuses or undocumented features.
01 / THE GUIDE
Physics Observation
Build a simple structure in the sandbox, apply forces to objects of varying mass, and record how collisions behave. Compare results when the same scene runs in solo versus multiplayer.
- Test objects of different mass to see how the physics engine scales forces.
- Observe any latency differences when physics are processed in solo versus multiplayer sessions.
02 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Coordination
Gather a small group for a zombie horde co‑op match. Note how positioning and communication affect survival, then repeat with a PvP shooter to highlight strategic contrasts.
- Coordinate with teammates in co‑op to manage zombie hordes efficiently.
- Switch between PvP and co‑op to compare how gameplay dynamics change.
03 / THE GUIDE
Mod Exploration
Install a community‑made mod and play through its content. Contrast its mechanics and level design with the starter experiences to see the Reality SDK’s flexibility.
- Browse community‑created mods to see the range of possibilities the SDK supports.
- Refer to the SDK documentation when starting your own project to avoid common pitfalls.
04 / THE GUIDE
Controller Calibration
Before a long session, calibrate your tracked controllers, perform a quick grab‑and‑throw test, and note any latency or tracking issues to adjust settings accordingly.
- Calibrate your controllers before long sessions to reduce tracking drift.
- Experiment with different grip gestures to find the most comfortable interaction style.
05 / THE GUIDE
Cross‑Platform Test
Invite a friend using a different Windows configuration to join a multiplayer lobby. Observe any performance differences and document adjustments needed for smoother joint play.
- Verify network settings if you encounter connection issues between different Windows setups.
- Start with a small group on the same OS to confirm stability before mixing platforms.
