Any way to make car more armored?

[TearOfTheStar]

Hello to all interested!

Is there any way to make car more "treeproof"? It is amazingly annoying how hard it is to drive it thru forests or deadlands or at night. I lost 3 cars already (full solid fuel in tanks ). When fighting mobs its becoming even more annoying problem.

Unfortunately, no. Shotguns and flamethrowers can be shot while in a car so that helps with going through forests, But all in all you have to sort of make roads and clear areas for your car, or just put 10 cars in your inventory and just go haha. Hope this helps.

You could, if you wanted, just mod the trees to have 1 hp.
That way you would just lose 1 hp for every tree you hit.


For example, put this into Factorio/data/base/data.lua:

Code: Select all

for _, tree in pairs(data.raw.tree) do
	tree.max_health = 1
end

Other then that, not really any good way. Personally I just use the shotgun to clear trees
When fighting bases inside the car, I usually try to clear out forests so that I have a full circle around the base in question to do drive-by's!

Right now i want to enjoy vanilla gameplay. Next time i will try modding. I mostly using poison capsules and flamethrower (mostly for fun ).

Grenades work really well when doing a bit of deforestation too

There has been talk of a tank being introduced in future, but it's in the early concept stages from what I've gathered so it could be implemented anywhere from 0.11 to 0.13, and that's if they decide to do it (though I imagine they will unless they do something else that allows you to improve the car like giving it modules spaces or something).

We need car upgrades. From auto weapons system to more armored version and something more evil, like Carmageddon cars. Or some easy way of deforestation, maybe clearing robots or something.
