You could make a dragable vehicle with a leaky gas tank 

Neat! How do you make a leaky gas tank?

[gomez]

If you find  a damaged gas tank say yellow or red it should leak automaticly.

lol at foldable damaged gas tank.

i think i could make a gas spewer.  or try to


anyone know how practical shooting gas on the gtound and lighting it w/a fkamethrower is?

That'd be neat. I was thinking about just driving my car through a town, spraying gas out the back and then lighting it off with a epxlosive arrow or something and watching the hoards burn.

Im trying, but theres some problems.  The game is spawning 0 units of gas when I throw a 'gas bag' (that turns into a plastic bag and 50 units of gasoline) at the ground/enemies.

[Aseaheru]

 What about making it a "grenade" that instead of exploding throws gas around itself?

[pisskop]

You sir, as a genius.  Mostly





Theres a small issue of it having to cause damage in order to spread shrapnel made of gasoline.

[pisskop]

So what can happen is a 'gas bag' that is thrown on the ground and then lit on fire from a distance.  And then it explodes into a small fire.


Id have to test out things like if loading it was actual gas affects anything or if I just make a crafting recipe consume gas (and account for the gas' weight in the final product) or if its possible to light the 'bag' by hand (itd be a weak explosion, but fire is deadly in all forms in CDDA)


but hey

[Aseaheru]

Reduce the range it throws out and increase how far it can be thrown inorder to avoid it perhaps?

How does the throwable fire extinguisher do it(besides only affecting its tile)?

IRL or in game?
IRL, it depends on the fuel. Standard unleaded gasoline is relatively* flammable at room temp. Diesel is not.

In-game? I guess that depends on how hard it's gotten to get gas and a flame-thrower. Haven't played in ages.

*In the context of lighting it with a flamethrower, consider it easily lit.

Part of the issue is also we need it to be loaded in order to explode; otherwise people could not spend the resource (gasoline) and still get their money's worth.

So I think it needs to be a crafted item (say some lighter charge or a hotplate.  Open flame is dangerous).
I think it should either take 50-100 units of gas; either as a requisite to craft it or as ammo to 'charge' it.
When activated, it should then be able to be thrown, and have a range of 0.  only the tile it lands on should be gassed.
It would preferably then evaporate.  Since evaporation doesnt exist in CDDA this would preferably be a charge consumbed per turn, like a flashlight left on.  The less gas, the weaker it gets.


There are issues.  Like the explosions only drop 1 unit of gas per tile.  And that they still hurt.  And that thet gas just burns in one shot, so a significant amount is needed to create a raging fire.

Its easy as anything to get gas.  Its like the second thing I get in-game.
Flamethrowers are much harder.  At least decent, not spraycan ones.

Im a little squeamish to triple post here, but why not just request a incendiary mine or incendiary-hack?

Just discovered why acid zombies have been doing such a number on me recently, it turns out that I haven't been wearing anything below the belt for the past month. You think i'd notice the breeze, but apparently not..

[Rolan7]

...Commandos are immune to acid?

I misread.  Ouch.
