Description

Description
For those who like to explore far from their base and to cook tons of fresh alien-burgers... this mod adds a ferrari-red boosted customisable version of the vanilla Tank, with boosted ammos. You can eventually edit the config.lua file to freely customize your SuperTank with 3 self-explanatory cursors : one for life and resistances, one for mechanics (speed/braking), one for ammos (damage/range/reload time). Note that when these factors are set to 1, nothing changes from the original tank. When they are very high, the tank caracteristic tend to be perfect/immune/100%. So choose your own balancing between reason and overpower !

You'll have to research a new technology "SuperTanks", available if you already have "Tanks".
It gives you 3 new recipes : one for the SuperTank, and two for ammos (shells and bullets).

I find this SuperTank very useful to extend my base in late stages of the game.

Download

Hey I was working on balancing the tank to use for my game and I think I found a great balance that makes it really strong but not overpowered, If you want to check it out here are the files. Sorry for using 1.02 instead of 1.03. The balancing shows best against large bases with many large worms. Didn't change the cannon ammo but I changed the tank and the machine gun ammo.

Hi, thanks for the proposition of balancing. You do not need to edit the whole mod to balance the tank : for users like you who wants to fine balance their supertank, I setup a config.lua file that contains some 3 simple cursors/factors that automatically scale the different caracteristics of the supertank.

In your case, to achieve approximatively the same balance, you could have choosen :
supertank_life_factor = 1.25
supertank_mecha_factor = 1.33
supertank_ammo_factor = 1.5

Which give a super tank just a little bit above the basic tank.

Note that when these factors are set to 1, nothing changes from the original tank. When they are very high, the tank caracteristic tends to be perfect/immune/100%.

Have fun, and kill a lot of worms for me !
