Routes and locations
Bearings are core interactive parts crafted early for steering, wheels, rotating joints, and controller-driven motion.
Mini Craftbot
The crashed ship tutorial uses early bearings while teaching the first vehicle.

Bearing recipes and properties
Everything you place on the bearing will revolve. Bearings can also be connected to an engine or the driver's seat to be controlled in different ways.

How Bearings Work
A Bearing creates a rotating connection between its base and the object attached to its moving side. Wheels use bearings to spin, while steering assemblies use them to change angle.
Bearings are locked while the creation is on the Lift. Remove the Lift before judging whether a joint moves correctly under physics.
Control Options
- Connect an engine when the bearing should provide continuous driven rotation.
- Connect a Driver's Seat when the bearing should respond to steering input.
- Connect a Controller when the bearing needs a programmed angle or sequence.
- Use the Connect Tool to inspect and reverse a connected bearing direction.
- Calculate inner and outer steering angles — Convert wheelbase and steering-bearing spacing into separate Level 5 seat limits.
Common Build Mistakes
- Attaching the moving body to the wrong face of the bearing.
- Testing while the creation is still locked on the Lift.
- Reversing one wheel or steering joint and not checking the connection arrows.
