Two small patches - v0.5.5.192025-11-06Good morning fellow Screw Drivers,Over the last three days we uploaded two small updates, basically patches to fix some issues with the last big update. So these are the changes we made:Fixed a bunch of bugs with chains. Now cars should not get errors or have floating chains, stop calculating etc. because of chains. There are probably still some bugs left, but I tried to fix a lot of them :)The server browser crashesd all the time. It still does, but now it restarts automatically. So multiplayer and server browser should now be working.In the multiplayer lobby, there was a lot of lagging happening. This should now also be fixed.Fixed the gene
Major update - Multiplayer, Gears, Chains, New Maps2025-10-30Goood morning beloved Screw Drivers,This one is a long one, so here is a TL;DR. Only one thing to note, before you dive into all the new stuff: Since Marc and me are currently busy working another project we had to accept to pay the bills, we won't be able to work much on Screw Drivers a few months. This is why we decided to make this huge update releasing everything we've worked on so far, for you to play around with and enjoy. This means, things might still be even more bugged than usual, and some things are not finished or balanced. But we wanted you to experience all of those things, instead of having to wait a couple of months for them t
A quick update to all of you2025-10-27Good morning to the best community,Simon here. Some of you probably already wondered why there haven’t been many updates lately, both of the game and from us devs. Don’t panic, we’re still here and alive.The reason why things went unusually slowly in the last couple of weeks is, that Marc and me had to take on another temporary project on the side, since Screw Drivers unfortunately hasn’t been performing as well as we’d hoped, and we needed to keep being able to pay our rent and feed the bugs living under our beds. I really really tried to find the time and energy to put some work into Screw Drivers as well, but it was just too much for me, a

Update | Update | Update | Update2025-07-30Gooood morning fellow Screw Drivers,we have brought several small updates over the last couple of weeks, and we gotta admit that we were just a little bit too lazy to post the patchnotes for every one of them. But now it's time to fill you in on all the things that happened in the last couple of weeks leading up to the current version of v0.5.4.25:Minor changesIn the general settings you can now enable or disable whether engines and gearboxes should provide or be provided with power through mounting holes.We moved all spawn points of challenges slightly up again, so that hopefully, cars don't spawn inside the terrain or road anymore.We also i
New Update brings Major Performance Optimizations and countless Bug Fixes!2025-06-27Happy Friday and welcome to the biggest performance optimization we ever did! With this update, we reprogrammed and restructured the whole project from the ground up. We took our core systems like the building editor, the driving physics and the vehicle calculation, and reassembled them freshly. We also deleted all ancient assets that were still in the project, and we reimported all the assets that are actually included in the game. All in all, we managed to reduce the RAM usage, increased FPS and reduced loading times by some margin. And most importantly, if the game did not start for you at all, now it might actually work! We hope you enjoy
Pretty Fly DLC, Racetrack Map and Physics Changes2025-04-11Gooood afternoon everybody, this one is a big one! ːsteamhappyː After working day and night for the last two months, without any sleep or eating, we now have one of the biggest updates ever. And not only that, we also added airplanes to the game. Since the Steam Workshop is already flooded with airplanes, we finally added proper airplane physics to the game. With our new DLC “Pretty Fly” we added a huuuuuuge map to the game with airports and floating islands. You will have airplane wings, propellers and turbines to craft your own airplanes and challenge all the six monarchs of Pretty Fly: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3500960/Screw_Drive

Show and Tell #2 - '50s-Style Bus by CatBurger232025-03-06How long have you been playing Screw Drivers? I installed Screw Drivers on June 25th of 2024 and I've spent over 800 hours in game by now. I added the supporter pack soon after installing the game and recently bought the first DLC. How did you find out about the game, and what made you decide to play the game? I saw Scrapman playing SD on YouTube and was attracted to the game right away. During my childhood, I played a lot with LEGOs, especially LEGO Technic. I've been looking for a game which allows me to build stuff in an equal way for quite some time now, but never was able to find what I was looking for. So when I learned about SD, obviou

Saturday Patch2024-12-14Happy Saturday everyone, we've prepared a small patch for the bugs we introduced with the latest v0.3.15.9 update. So here is a small and sweet patch for v0.3.15.10: Bug fixes Removed the camber from offroad suspensions again. We will postpone the whole balancing of suspensions until we have time to look at all suspensions at the same time. There was a bug, where it was possible to access some DLC building parts when being in creative mode. Not ignoring the steering angle limit is now the default setting. Before it was the other way around. Added a new area on the supersonic map where you can try to drive upside down on the ceiling. Tried to

Screw Drivers - Show and Tell #1: Fancy Plane 2.12024-09-24Greetings everyone, Every day, we see new, unique creations shared in the Steam Workshop, and we are always stunned by how creative people can be. In Show and Tell, we are taking a deeper look at some of the great creations and the people behind those creations! In this first episode of Show and Tell, we are looking at a vehicle that is not about being on the road but more to be in the sky. How is that possible? We don’t know, but let’s see what Spectre, the creator of ‘Fancy Plane’ has to say. How long have you been playing Screw Drivers? At the time of writing, I had a combined total of around 200 hours in the game, but at the time of creat
