Plan your next Brick Rigs session
Our independent guide helps you get the most out of Brick Rigs by focusing on creative building, effective use of physics, and community interaction. Follow these exercises to sharpen your skills and discover new ways to enjoy the sandbox.
01 / THE GUIDE
Master the Editor Basics
Start with a blank canvas and place a chassis, wheels, and an engine. Adjust each component’s properties to see how they affect movement, then save the model for future tweaks.
- Start with simple shapes to understand the building tools before tackling complex mechanisms.
- Use the Workshop to find inspiration and learn techniques from experienced builders.
02 / THE GUIDE
Design for Destruction
Build a vehicle with both reinforced and fragile sections. Crash it deliberately to compare how different brick types influence the spread of debris and overall survivability.
- Experiment with different wheel and engine configurations to see how they affect handling.
- Download a similar vehicle from the Workshop and modify it to learn the editor’s workflow.
03 / THE GUIDE
Explore Workshop Diversity
Download three distinct builds—one vehicle, one aircraft, and one structure. Analyze the construction techniques used and note any patterns that could improve your own designs.
- Test structural integrity by deliberately crashing a prototype to see weak points.
- Use lighter bricks for parts you want to break away easily during collisions.
04 / THE GUIDE
Coordinate a Multiplayer Role‑Play
Gather friends and assign roles such as firefighter, police officer, or pilot. Use pre‑built vehicles to focus on teamwork and scenario planning rather than construction.
- Coordinate with teammates to plan vehicle roles before a chase or combat scenario.
- Join a role‑play server to experience themed gameplay like firefighting or policing.
05 / THE GUIDE
Leverage Partial Controller Support
Connect a gamepad and map essential actions like steering and throttle. Test the setup in a simple drive‑test to ensure responsiveness before tackling more complex builds.
