My best vehicle right now is a shopping cart with pedals and controls. :y

We should be able to weld two cars together and drive one like a maniac.

Pfffft.

Real men add a V12 engine in back with a huge cargo space, then vroom around in a disproportionate moving van.

[Steelmagic]

Well, in earlier versions I've found drivable wreckage.

All this talk of tanks makes me want vehicles with treads. I think a nice future development goal would be improvement on vehicle creation so we can have other stuff instead of wheels, like hover engines, treads and other fancy stuff. Going even more crazy and have gyro's to have a huge spinning disc around the vehicle while you are driving around, and even more crazy to be able to do wheelies and turning at high speeds to cause cars to flip.

I want a racing game ascii RL!

Came out of nowhere and decided the entire vehicle system needed an overhaul.  Normally this kind of announcement scares the crap out of me, but he's working really hard to do it the right way (i.e. incrementally), and is doing a great job at it.

I'm using one of those as well, haven't actually cared about the vehicles before but everything just went from great to all kinds of awesome.

I just thought of something.  What would happen if you took a bicycle, replaced the peddles with a V12 engine and replaced the seat with an 8 point harness?

[MrWiggles]

Welp, got a CTD on the mac 0.9 when attacking a companions when they were failing to reload their weapon.

You would get pure awesome. Also, you would splat against the nearest building.

So i still can't download the Experimental build. I'm using WINRAR to unzip the files, and everytime I try to it tells me "C:\Users\Documents\cataclysmdda...zip: the archive is in either unkown format or damaged"

I've tried using earlier experimentals, and both the graphical and regular downloads.

Do grenades explode if they're set on fire?

[Akura]

Do grenades explode if they're set on fire?

I imagine so. Hell, bullets explode when set on fire.

IRL? C4 burns, not explodes. Grenades use C4. They shouldn't.
Gunpowder just explodes though, so yea, bullets exploding isn't too unrealistic.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Cataclysm grenade recipe includes anything from birdshot to gasoline, so it's fair to say they don't really use C4. And thus they go boom.

Yeah, exploding bullets is realistic. The sheer power of the Cata exploding bullets is a bit over the top, though. IIRC, even a handful can blow up a concrete wall.

[Sharp]

Cata walls and floors also burn pretty easily as well.
