</>What does Greased Wheels (Speed & Handling) do?
Big fortresses are slow fortresses, and Wanderburg loves to remind you of that when a swarm closes in. Greased Wheels fixes the physics in your favour with three independent dials. Speed Bonus raises your top speed, scaled to whatever tier your castle is currently at, so a bigger vehicle still feels quicker. Turning Bonus tightens your steering so you can whip around to line up a broadside or slip out of a pincer. Nitro Power puts more shove behind every boost. All three apply while Enabled is on and are removed cleanly when you switch it off. Pairs well with Bottomless Boost if you never want to lift off the nitro.

</>Common questions about Greased Wheels (Speed & Handling)
What does Greased Wheels do in Wanderburg?
Greased Wheels gives your Wanderburg castle three independent handling dials. Speed Bonus % raises your top speed, scaled to whatever tier your castle is currently at, so a bigger vehicle still feels quick. Turning Bonus % tightens your steering so you can whip around to line up a broadside or slip out of a pincer. Nitro Power % puts more shove behind every boost. All three apply while the Enabled switch is on and are removed cleanly when you switch it off, putting your castle's real handling back. The mod does not change enemies or damage at all; it only changes how your castle moves.
How is Speed Bonus scaled to my castle's tier?
Speed Bonus % in Greased Wheels is a percentage of your castle's current tier base speed in Wanderburg, not a fixed number. A tier-one cart and a top-tier fortress have different base speeds, so a 50% bonus adds a different amount to each, and the boost grows automatically when you upgrade your vehicle mid-run. It also stacks with any speed artifacts you have collected instead of replacing them. That keeps the feel consistent: the castle is always the same proportion faster than it would otherwise be at that size.
Does Greased Wheels make my nitro last longer?
No. Nitro Power % in Greased Wheels changes how hard each boost pushes your Wanderburg castle, not how long the tank lasts. Hold the boost and you will cover more ground per second of nitro, but the tank still drains at its normal rate and still overheats if you hold it too long. If you want a tank that never runs dry, that is what Bottomless Boost is for, and the two mods are designed to be run together: Greased Wheels for a faster, sharper castle and Bottomless Boost for a boost you never have to release. Turning Bonus and Speed Bonus use no nitro at all.
What are good starting values for the three dials?
Start with Speed Bonus 30, Turning Bonus 50 and Nitro Power 50 in Greased Wheels and adjust from there. Those numbers make a mid-tier Wanderburg castle feel nimble without turning it into something that overshoots every village. If your build relies on ramming, push Nitro Power up first, since that is the number that decides how hard you hit. If you keep getting boxed in by units, raise Turning Bonus so you can pivot out of a pincer. All three accept whole numbers and can be changed mid-run.
Why would I use Greased Wheels in Wanderburg?
Because the biggest, most upgraded castles in Wanderburg are also the slowest, and speed is how you choose your fights. Greased Wheels lets a fully grown fortress outrun a swarm, wheel around to bring its heaviest side to bear and chase down a fleeing flock before it scatters. Ram builds benefit most, since more nitro power means harder impacts. It is free-tier, so it is a natural first mod for anyone curious about ProjectMods, and it slots neatly next to Bottomless Boost, Phantom Fortress and Clockwork for players who want a Wanderburg run that moves at their pace.

System Requirements
What features does Greased Wheels (Speed & Handling) include?
- Raises your castle's top speed by up to 300%, scaled to its current tier so bigger vehicles still feel quick
- Sharpens turning by the amount you set, so whipping around to line up a broadside takes a fraction of the time
- Puts up to 300% more shove behind every nitro burst, on its own slider separate from top speed
- Hands your castle's real handling back the moment you toggle Enabled off
- Keeps your Steam leaderboards clean: any run played with this mod active is never posted to the global or friends boards
Best For
- Anyone driving the heaviest tier of castle who is sick of being surrounded before it finishes a three-point turn
- Village raiders who want to sweep a settlement in one pass instead of wallowing back for the houses they missed
- Players who like the normal speed but hate the turning: leave Speed Bonus at zero and crank Turning Bonus alone
- Nitro fans pairing it with Bottomless Boost so the castle sprints hard and never has to lift off the boost
