Overview#

Automobility is a vehicle mod that lets you build, customize, and drive your own automobiles (small cars and karts). Instead of one fixed vehicle, you assemble a car from separate, interchangeable parts and mix them to create hundreds of combinations, then drive it around your world, race friends, and build tracks with special road blocks.

Building a Car (Auto Mechanic Table)#

The Auto Mechanic Table is the workstation where you craft parts and assemble a complete automobile.

  • Open the Auto Mechanic Table to craft car parts from materials.
  • A finished automobile is made of three core components snapped together: a Frame, a set of Wheels, and an Engine.
  • Because the three parts are interchangeable, you can build anything from a slow wooden tractor to a fast diamond-powered racer.
  • Combine your chosen frame, wheels, and engine to produce a complete, placeable automobile.

Frames#

The Frame is the body of the car and sets its overall look, weight, and much of its handling.

  • Standard frames come in every dye color for a classic car body.
  • Tractor frames have large rear wheels and a farm look.
  • Motorcar frames (wooden, copper, steel, golden, bejeweled) are longer and sleeker.
  • Fun frames include the Shopping Cart, Rickshaw, and Pineapple. Each frame shape changes the car's proportions, seat positions, and where attachments mount.

Wheels#

Wheels affect grip, ride height, and how the car handles terrain.

  • Standard and Steel wheels are all-round road wheels.
  • Off-Road wheels give better grip on rough ground.
  • Tractor wheels are large for a farm build.
  • Carriage wheels give an old-fashioned look. Bigger wheels raise the car's ride height and change its feel.

Engines#

The Engine determines top speed and acceleration.

  • Stone and Iron engines are basic starters.
  • Copper, Gold, and Diamond engines are progressively faster and accelerate harder.
  • The Creative engine is the fastest of all. A running engine emits exhaust smoke; a better engine turns your build into a real racer.

Driving, Drifting and Boosting#

Sit in your automobile and drive it like a kart.

  • Use your normal movement controls to accelerate, brake, and steer.
  • Hold a drift while turning to build up a turbo charge; release to get a speed boost. Chaining drifts and boosts lets skilled drivers go much faster.
  • Cars kick up skid effects and exhaust smoke while driving, and each frame has its own horn sound.
  • Handling depends on the parts you chose, so tune your car for speed or for cornering.

Attachments#

Bolt extra attachments onto the front or back of your car to change what it does.

Rear attachments:

  • Chest – mobile storage you can drive around.
  • Passenger Seat – give a friend a ride.
  • Plow, Grindstone, Stonecutter, and a Block attachment.
  • Banner Post – fly your banner from the back of the car.

Front attachments:

  • Mob Controller, Autopilot, and a Harvester / Grass Cutter for farming while you drive.

Track Blocks#

Automobility adds blocks for building race tracks and stunt courses.

  • Dash Panels give your car a burst of speed when you drive over them.
  • Slopes and Steep Slopes act as ramps.
  • Off-Road blocks (grass, sand, and snow variants) change traction.
  • Launch Gel flings your car into the air. Combine these to build race tracks, obstacle courses, and stunt arenas.

Tips#

  • Match parts to the job: off-road wheels for rough terrain, a strong engine for racing.
  • Master drifting: drift into corners and release the boost on the straight for the best lap times.
  • Use a chest attachment to haul items on long trips.
  • Build a track with dash panels and slopes to race friends.
  • Decorate with a colored frame and a banner post to show off your style.

FAQ#

How do I make a car? Craft parts at the Auto Mechanic Table, then combine a frame, wheels, and an engine into a complete automobile.

How do I drive? Sit in the car and use your normal movement keys to accelerate and steer; hold a drift while turning to build a boost.

Can I carry items? Yes — add a Chest rear attachment for mobile storage, or a Passenger Seat to carry a friend.

How do I go faster? Use a better engine (up to Diamond or Creative), drive over Dash Panels, and chain drifts into boosts.

Can I build a race track? Yes — use Dash Panels, Slopes, Off-Road blocks, and Launch Gel to build tracks and stunt courses.
