Vehicles

The term vehicle in build island refers to a player controlled collection of unanchored blocks that are connected and guided with use of a boat propeller, wheel, or seat. This article is the waypoint for any information to do with the specifics of vehicle parts and their functions, as well as how to use them.

Parts location
The parts required to create a functioning vehicle can be accessed trough the items menu in the vehicles section.

Vehicle parts
There are 4 specific parts able to be used in the creation of vehicles.

(in order)

Boat propeller - aids in control of water based vehicles like boats or rafts (water variant of the wheel)

Seat - the main component of a grounded vehicle

Wheel - the part that is controlled by the seat for ground based vehicles

Flight seat - the main component to a floating air craft. Players can guide unanchored parts through the air while sitting in said part.

Functionality
This section describes the specifics of what each part does, how they can be adjusted, and what other parts they work with.

(in order)

Boat propeller - attaching a boat propeller to an unanchored build that’s setup with a seat allows players to control said build in the water. Attaching blocks to the propeller part of the block give the player the ability to make a spinning object (feature will be implemented with the motor update)

Seat - attaching a seat to a set of unanchored blocks connected to wheels (land) or a boat propeller (water) results in the control of said build.

Wheel - attaching a set of wheels to an unanchored build that’s connected to a seat allows for control of the vehicle on land. (Spinning trick does not apply to wheels)

Flight seat - attaching a flight seat to an unanchored build gives the player absolute control over the build with not other requirements than being unanchored.
