Melon Sandbox vehicle building
Last checked 2026-10-29 · melon sandbox vehicles, passengers, speedometer
For Jeep passengers, the community wiki describes pausing and dragging a living's head to a seat until a green outline appears. For a custom vehicle, Car Seat is only a seat: Motorized Wheel supplies rotation and Rocket Engine supplies thrust. The linked item pages document those parts, not a complete car or Cessna recipe.
Stock vehicles the wiki lists
The community navigation groups Jeep, APC, scooter, bus, truck, bicycle, car seat, and banana ride with land vehicles; submarine, inflatable boat, speed boat, underwater scooter, and banana boat are water entries. Helicopter is the flying entry, and its wiki page describes START DRIVING in the context menu. A seat is a building part, not a complete powered vehicle.
A seat is not an engine
- Car Seat holds a living. It does not add a motor.
- Motorized Wheel or Rocket Engine is what moves a custom chassis.
- Jeep already has seats. Pause before you drag the head, or the living will not lock.
- Green outline: allowed. Red outline: dead living, or a jeep missing two tires.
Custom builds and speedometers: what is documented
Motorized Wheel rotates when activated; its wiki page describes torque settings. Rocket Engine's context menu has an edit-parameters force setting. Use the building guide for sourced connection concepts. The linked speed-meter video uses a Chip, Text Screen, and Glow Label: read velocity, round it, and display text. It does not establish a UI Control toggle, universal wiring preset, car assembly order, or flight-control recipe. Cessna and Cadillac builds are player creations.
Questions people ask
How do I put a passenger in a vehicle?
On the Jeep page: pause, drag a living's head onto the driver seat or the trunk seat. A green outline means it can sit. Red means the living is dead or the jeep lost two tires. Other vehicles are not documented the same way.
How do I make a speedometer?
Use a Chip, a text screen, and a glow label. Read velocity in km/h, round it, and print the string. The December 2024 AJ_Melon video shows the wire-up. It is not a single UI Control toggle.
Is there an official Cessna or Cadillac?
No. Those names are player contraptions. The stock list I can cite is Jeep, APC, scooter, bus, truck, helicopter, bicycle, car seat, and banana ride, plus a few boats.
