[quote=“Peregrin-E, post:1163, topic:207”]After half of a year (of 45-day seasons), It was done!
Now the only thing I need before moving into it is a bottle of champagne smashed onto its hull by some lady… Too bad I don’t think one can currenly make any NPCs doing that. Hell, I haven’t even find any champagne in my world.[/quote]
And to think the best I’ve done is an enlarged atomic mini-tank with the broken reactors removed.
It’s about 50% comprised of truck and car batteries and solar panels.
Not sure how long im playing with this char, but i think its 8+ years now. A humvee made into a mobile base. The Twin A7 fully automated laser rifles are total overkill already, nothing ever comes close…
Basically a heavily modified APC with a widened interior space. I’m deliberately avoiding blazemod, so it’s unarmed except for a mark 19 grenade launcher which I never use. Not too big, but it does everything I need it to. It has all the amenities I need in a sensible, accessible layout, and a bunch of improved solar panels to keep them running. I’m not sure what the actual top speed is, I rarely go above 60kph for safety reasons.
As you can see, I have no windshields. I 100% rely on the camera system and the 6 cameras I currently have. I still need 2 more for a complete 360 vision.
Everything is armor plated, so that I don’t get something destroyed on accident. I should also mention that only the outside frames are heavy duty. To save time I used normal frames for the interior. I’m planning on having 30 storage batteries in this bad boy so I can be entirely self-reliant and also don’t need to make a break every hour for the solars to charge it up.
I don’t really have much in terms of turrets yet ( I feel like actually using the howitzer I have is overkill ) but I was thinking of installing something that has common ammo ( because I do not have laser stuff yet )
What else is there to say? Oh yeah, the stow boards help me put troublesome stuff inside ( storage batteries and stuff ) that I haul in using my foldable Loot Carrier ( basically it’s 2 shopping carts put together that can fold. Decent volume and can be rather easily put in the backpack, I think it has like 8 volume and weights 24 kg. )

I don’t know what I expected.
Cmon guys, you can do better than ‘stuff everything into a bus and never worry about anything ever’[/quote]
Meh, more like battle RVs, really - most of them don’t have NEARLY enough seating to be called a bus.
But more seriously, the parameters of the game strongly push for something fairly narrow with lots of storage space, so long. That’s “bus” shaped. What did you expect?
Once I get the materials and skills, I make mine from scratch, even though it’s VERY similar is size and shape to a military truck or APC - five tiles wide, 10-12 tiles long. Until the collision stuff gets sorted out to something more sane (a main battle tank can total itself trying to run over a couple of cars at low speed - hello?!?), that’s what you’re largely going to see.
Two of my personal limits make for big RV-tank hybrids. I must construct a Solar Roller as soon as possible. Each Solar Roller must be bigger than the one before.

Refitting a bus into a death mobile is too easy. I don’t do that.
I build mine from scratch, although I did use frames from a bus.
But seriously, what do you expect? People rolling around in phallic-shaped trucks? Halo shaped? Or maybe actual houses with walls and rooms and crap?[/quote]
Sure why not? It’s vehicle show and tell!
I’d really like to see like, a really big house that slowly crawls over the landscape, and automatically destroys trees in front of it.
I also want to see vehicles with different uses rather than a mobile base. Like, I want to see someone use a seed drill, or come up with a crazy ass drone. I want to see people use the Remote Vehicle controller for blood and profit.
The Solar Roller is equipped with a remote control system and I have the remote control CBM. On a couple occasions, I have holed up somewhere and driven the Solar Roller over to me, turrets blazing.
