Vehicle Show and Tell

Or maybe use two sheets of glass instead of one, if you are arguing against due to visibility. reinforcing would be really nice though.

Something like a mesh overlay, like the ones on police vans that can be dropped over the windscreen if they’re heading into trouble, would be good. It could reduce visibility range by a few squares, rather than field of view.

Make it only a little more durable than the windscreen itself, but it takes the hits first, and if it’s damaged down to grey, you only need some scrap metal or a metal chunk to repair it.

So what does currently happen if I put both a metal plate and a windshield on the same bit of frame? It seems I can do it.

I guess I can try it out on a duplicate save…

Isidarth · 2013-09-04T19:45:31.000Z

If you’ve got the batteries to spare, it won’t matter much. If it blocks visibility, take it off again.

I think most of the discussion here is that whether or not it does, it probably SHOULD, and looking for sensical alternatives.

DG123 · 2013-09-04T19:56:29.000Z

Well you could always claim that the metal sheet was cut into reinforcement bars or something like that nature.

Anyway, thankfully I no longer need to worry about batteries because I installed the vehicle mounted welder. IT IS AWESOME.

Yeah, it really is. Most of my dragsters are tiny though, there’s only space for it at the rear.

DG123 · 2013-09-04T21:18:00.000Z

Oh it’s on the rear of my RV too. But I worked out I can use it from inside the vehicle if I press E and examine a solar panel.

And I installed so many batteries I have no chance of running out of power for it for quite some time even if the sun dies.

Found this in a recent nightly build:

FunsizeNinja123 · 2013-09-12T21:27:48.000Z

Um… what?
IS IT DRIVABLE?

Mate · 2013-09-12T21:32:46.000Z

It is.

system · 2013-09-12T21:43:06.000Z

I guess this might be the right thread to ask:
What do different wheel types affect?

FunsizeNinja123 · 2013-09-13T00:46:58.000Z

All wheels are same.

Weyrling · 2013-09-13T01:08:58.000Z

I think wide wheels are (intended to be) more durable.

AseaHeru · 2013-09-13T13:35:11.000Z

Wide wheels dont set off traps.

kilozombie · 2013-09-13T14:58:52.000Z

AseaHeru:

Wide wheels dont set off traps.

That was a bug, they do now.

AseaHeru · 2013-09-13T15:05:44.000Z

Really? Ah well, there goes those ideas.

Lost · 2013-09-20T22:35:31.000Z

Finally found this thread. Knew there had to be one.

Name: The Defiant
Engine: V8
Safe Speed: 72 MPH
Top Speed: 477 MPH

This is a vehicle that I made back in the 0.6 Samedi version, hence why the tires stick out from the rest of the vehicle. I plan to remake this in the current version and give it a slimmer profile, but obtaining all the parts is a massive grind, as you can probably tell. After refitting and repairing this beast numerous times, my Mechanics skill grew to over level 130.

Its “death” came when I encountered a collision bug. I collided with a vehicle when going in reverse, which somehow caused it to ricochet back into the Defiant and launch it forward at over 1250 MPH. I ran into something (it may have been a dragonfly) that caused the three gasoline tanks to explode and destroy half of the vehicle, including my character’s seatbelt and launch him almost a hundred feet in front of the Defiant. I recuperated fast enough to avoid being crushed by what remained of the beast, but the game bugged out shortly thereafter, so I put the entire world into its own folder.

…you made that by manually typing it out instead of taking a picture?

How long did that take?

Well, you can use g to examine your vehicle from the inside either way, but…
okey

A minute or so.
