Quick start

New to Screw Drivers? Follow these steps to get started fast.

  1. 1

    Learn the build editor

    Open the build editor and place your first chassis. Add an engine, connect axles and gears, then attach wheels and suspension. Test one component at a time so you understand what each part does. Our [Getting Started](/guides/getting-started/) guide walks through every step.

  2. 2

    Master gear transmissions

    Gears are the heart of every fast vehicle. Combine 2-step and 3-step gear shifts to create multi-speed transmissions. Avoid duplicate gear ratios to maximize the number of unique gears. Read the [Gear Transmissions](/guides/gear-transmissions/) guide for detailed ratio tables.

  3. 3

    Challenge the Monarchs

    Career mode pits you against five Monarchs, each with unique vehicles. Beat the Prince of Gears first, then work your way up to the Secret Queen. Unlock new parts after each victory. See our [Monarchs](/monarchs/) hub for boss strategies.

  4. 4

    Race in multiplayer

    Set up a dedicated server and invite friends to race. Forward UDP ports 8766, 38011, and 38012 on your router. Check the [Server Setup](/multiplayer/server-setup/) guide for step-by-step instructions.

  5. 5

    Collect hidden treasures

    Hidden treasures and colors spawn across the island in career mode. Use the map icons during free run to locate them. Some require creative vehicle designs to reach. Visit the [Treasure Locations](/map/treasure-locations/) page for all known spots.

FAQ

Wiki FAQ

Quick answers to the most common questions.

What is Screw Drivers?

Screw Drivers is a physics-based vehicle building and racing game by Creactstudios, published by Headup Games on Steam. You design custom drivetrains using engines, gears, axles, and suspension, then race against AI Monarchs or compete in multiplayer.

Is Screw Drivers free to play?

Screw Drivers was free during Early Access but became a paid game on August 20, 2026. Check the [Steam store page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1279510/Screw_Drivers/) for current pricing.

How do I fix the 'car has errors' message?

Press X in build mode to highlight disconnected parts in red. Usually a part is not connected to the chassis or an axle is missing. Return to build mode and check that all gears, axles, and wheels are properly attached. See the [Troubleshooting](/guides/troubleshooting/) guide for more fixes.

How do I unlock new parts in the tech tree?

Complete challenges and races with vehicles that meet specific requirements. Note that the displayed unlock conditions can be buggy — the actual conditions often differ from the text. Try completing races with the required part installed. See our [Parts](/parts/) hub for details.

How do I make my car steer?

Enable steering on the suspension, not the wheel. Select the suspension part in build mode and toggle the steering option in its configuration menu. This is a common source of confusion for new players.

Does Screw Drivers have a track editor?

Yes. The v1.0 full release on August 20, 2026 added a track editor that lets you build custom maps with terrain, ramps, decorations, and checkpoints. Tracks can be shared through the Steam Workshop. See the [Track Editor Guide](/guides/track-editor/) for details.
