You are aware of the “invert steering” option? Toggle that on the wheels that turn the “wrong” way and you’ll get crab steering without any need for mods; maybe even bind it to an action group?

I can't set an action group to invert the steering direction. Besides that, invert steering works for crab steering.

Thank you for the great update, great game, and keeping it alive all these years (I have been playing since around 2018, but I am as thankful as people who had it from the very beginning!)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Yes, I am aware. 

So, lets say I have a 4 axle crane. I am driving normally, but +if I want to go to crab steering, I just hook an invert steering action group up to the first 2 axles so they are steering the same way as the rear 2?

Nice! I can have speed dependent rear axle steering on my kranes now!

It would be really nice if crab steering could be added, but that will need to be left to add-ons because 1.12 is the last content update, or I could figure out something with wheels attached to rotation servos controlled by a KAL-1000.
