Anyone know how heavy a standard electric car can get before you start suffering problems due to weight? I'm thinking about expanding mine, but I don't want to make it unusable.
Er, just throw in another large electric motor.

Well, yes, eventually, but doesn't that require a mechanics of 8 or so? I'm not even up to 6 yet.

Weird bug with experimental build #331. All items I pick up after a certain point are put on blank keys, meaning that I cannot drop them or interact with them.

12 in mechanics for a 2nd engine.  But you can get unreasonably large using a single large electric.  WARBUS runs on 2, and using 17" wide wheels can get 200mph safe.  Not sure how wheel size changes things yet.

You should put WARBUS on casters. Please?

Hmm. Ok, well, I guess I'll play around with it and if it starts having issues I can always take stuff off.

The arrow keys work for lists, this includes the inventory.
Down to start off, and Left/right to select/deselect.

So I got a Heavy Survivor Suit, along with the helmet, mask, gloves, and boots.

Seriously I can wade through zombies, and HULKS sometimes don't get penetration.  The only thing to actually injure me was a bunker, where I brought my own ID card (dynamite) and then went in with a flaming greatsword to bash turrets.  Just TANKING the incoming SMG fire.  I ended up with my survivor mask, army pants, and arm warmers brought from Reinforced to Normal and was only down to pale green health on one arm.  I'm probably going to end up laying some old school metal plate armor over this for maximum defense (and finding metal scraps to repair it is actually easier than finding plastic scraps!) and wear an American Flag.

So two questions to ensure my ongoing survival.  1: Does the blood filter or integrated dosimeter help you mitigate radiation?  2: Does Thermal Dissipation (lets you survive intense heat/fire) do anything to help your clothing, or will you end up naked when all your clothing burns away?

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the survivor armor! The various iterations have been one of my favorite projects.

To answer your questions:

Neither the blood filter nor the dosimeter affects your current radiation level. There is a separate CBM: Radiation Scrubber that cleans radiation from your body. The blood filter has no affect on radiation whatsoever and the integrated dosimeter tells you your current radiation saturation level but doesn't actually affect it otherwise.

Thermal dissipation is like most other bionics - its effect stops at your skin, so your clothing can and will burn while you're under its effect. Try wearing some firefighter turnout gear and/or nomex clothing and/or survivor fire armor. And remember if the fire is sufficiently intense even combining thermal protection CBMs and fire protectant gear won't keep you going forever, so stay out of the really intense flames even if you have the proper gear.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

I consider that a feature. The game no longer prevents you from picking up more than 75 items, it just assigns them to a null key until you add them to a stash somewhere.

Problem with a build from about a week ago(it takes me a week to post, since I have to go the library for internet): it crashes on exit.

I'm also finding a lot of fat zombies, and they tend to drop a lot of skirts, panties, high heels, tank tops, and the occasional bra. I didn't know New England had so many fat hookers, let alone zombie hookers. But that's my fault for not looking, I guess.

I actually really like the new variety in the zombies. Fat zombies, hasmat zombies, crawler zombies, decaying zombies, tough zombies... it's a lot more variety and makes combat a lot more interesting. Does make starting a little harder, though, tough zombies are tough to kill with a pipe (I suspect this is related to the zombears-on-spawn bug, though, advanced zombies are spawning too soon).
