## What it is
Rigs of Rods is a free, open-source soft-body physics sandbox game that simulates the real-time motion, deformation, and destruction of vehicles such as cars, trucks, trains, boats, and airplanes. It supports community mods, AngelScript scripting, and multiplayer with dedicated servers.

## Use cases
- simulate realistic vehicle crashes and deformation
- drive trucks, cars, trains, boats, and airplanes in a physics sandbox
- play a free open-source driving simulator with wheel and pedal support
- host or join multiplayer vehicle simulation servers
- create custom vehicles and terrains with modding tools
- experiment with soft-body physics construction of vehicles

## When to choose
- you want a free open-source soft-body vehicle simulator
- you need realistic deformation and destruction physics for vehicles
- you want to build custom vehicles, terrains, or scripts
- you want multiplayer sandbox driving with friends

## When to avoid
- you need a polished commercial racing game with career progression
- you only need rigid-body physics without deformation
- you want a lightweight arcade driving game
- you need console or mobile support
