Vehicle Show and Tell

[quote=“Fish, post:381, topic:207”]One thing I really like tho and recently made is this

Armoured Motorcyle[/quote]

Armoured motorcycle?
Once I’ve built an armoured unicycle with mounted flamethrower! It was fun… Until hulk.

My main vehicle is a simple motorcycle. Smallish engine, muffler and several gasoline tanks for a relatively quiet, long range mission vehicle. One Box for utility supplies (meat, water, spare fuel, warm clothes for cold labs, explosives etc) and a Cargo Carrier for loot. Since it’s only 1 tile wide I can maneuver it through most anything without any collisions.

I want to build a Treeslayer out of a semi truck with a massive armoured ram in front. Its sole purpose will be to smash new roads through forests, which will then be travelled on the bike.
(Just how big do I need to be to crunch full-grown trees without severe damage or slowing down?)

I also intend to steal an idea from someone else on this forum and mount a storage battery and a NX-17 on a shopping trolley to make a gun-cart.

All these tiny vehicles- I- I don’t understand!

I experienced this by forgetting to install one.

RROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRRRRRRR

“YOU ARE DEAFENED”

That reminds me, I finally tried building the Sol Invictus. I settled on 17X15, but I only got about 75% done building it before taking it for a short test drive. 30+ Large Electric Motors meant instant deafness. So that project is abandoned.

Try again using the noise cancelling headgear you can craft?

the hearing protection works wonderfully, I always have to use it when driving about… …I should add better mufflers…

I guess some players prefer to roleplay sometimes. Small vehicles won’t destroy buildings just trying to turn around.
Also, one-shooting giant zombies and demons using auto-shotgun with explosive slugs and bolts while driving a unicycle/motorbike of doom sounds awesome.

Also chain lightning makes one feel like the Matrix character!

Now rolling around in style in a converted APC :).

Now that crafting-from-containers is in I’m probably going to move my whole base into this thing.

Crafting from containers is in!?

What version do I need to use to get this working? (And will it work with the tilesets? Apparently Raga’s tileset doesn’t like some experimentals).

I’m running the latest experimental and noticed that I could craft using the items in my trunks. Not sure precisely when it got included but I think recently.

Raga’s will sort-of-work. There will be a lot of #s. (Same with every other tileset I’ve tried).

That was you? Can you tell me why it looks like a bus for some reason?

… … … … … … … … … …
no reason… … …none at all…

I’m back.

Two things will get made now.

1)A literal Trojan horse, now that wood frames/armor are in.
2)A vehicle large enough to keep the current RMC company.

That’s what an APC basically is.

I’m still not sure how vehicle turrets/guns work. Can you manually shoot one rather than turning all of them on and spamming bullets everywhere?

And how do you practically block off their LOS to limit where they shoot, without stopping yourself having good visibility?

No, but that’d be nice to have.

You can’t, but what I find helps is to treat it like it’s frame-mounted rather than what it actually is (roof mounted) on the MFB I have the turrets mounted on the corners, something like this:

--t H|-

as well as in the center

--- H|t ---

and I find that keeps them from shooting the MFB it’s self.

Hey a question 'bout that? I’m playing 0.9 and cant put ammo on top my turrets or in them or anything please tell me how?
