You can disassemble big storage batteries (the kind found in cars) to get small batteries I think.

Electric cars have large batteries that can be disassembled.

I predict in the future this game will have computer cars

Because we will have them in real life : 3

For now I will settle for a "Space Rover" being hidden in the game

Err wait not a Space Rover... that car astronauts drive? that thing!

Aah! I tried disassembling motorcycle and car batteries (if you ever wonder how to get lead for your ammunition, well there ya go), but I did not try the electric car's swappable storage batteries. Thanks!

[Neonivek]

Also ignore what I said... it would be pointless...

As the only difference between a Space Rover (well the one I was thinking of) an a normal car... is that it either is solar powered or nuclear powered.

If this was a more visual game maybe... but ehh xD

I should learn how to program so I can just put a Space Rover in the game officially... since really it is all about the work.

I had put a wrecked Eagle 5 in way back when. It was plutonium powered. I don't think it made it into DDA.

Mercedes!  _{(that's a typical expensive car, right?)}

Rover is right though, AFAIK!  When it's on the moon (and... at this point, where else would it be) it's a "lunar rover".
Except, as you probably realized, that's very vague because unmanned robots like Curiosity are also called rovers.

Hm... probably?  Rovers I think have huge tires which aren't filled with air, so they're probably mostly bad in full gravity.  Even Mars rovers are probably solid rubber, and generally meant for the significantly lesser gravity.  Also probably not rideable (well in Cataclysm, maybe humans did get to Mars).

There certainly are solar-powered cars, though!  They don't get enough power for constant use, obviously, but I remember back in the 90's there was a big demonstration of them in my town.  Showing off the tech.  Most of their surface area was panels.

You should google 'airless tires', the US military honeycomb design is supposed to be every bit as good as normal pressurized tires.

I always called it the Moon Buggy growing up.
Official name is Lunar Roving Vehicle.
It would be nonfunctional on earth, due to the difference in gravity. A modified version to beef up various structures would work, though would be little different than any other dune buggy, except for some minor navigation (pre-inertial) and radio (transmitter) features.

Found a Fusion Blaster Arm CBM. Not gonna install that, but I wonder if the Fusion Blaster Rifle I can craft with it is worth it.

EDIT: holy mother of KABOOM! I must remember to not try and use that at less than 10 tiles away from my target. That hurt. Awesome bang for 40 UPS charge.

Sadly, the target dummy, a tree, remains unscathed. It does kill small trees though.

[pisskop]

I think we are long overdue for a megaman start, frankly.

Standby for this.  Or at least a 'Machine Cult' or 'cyborg security guard' or 'vat-grown guard' kind of thing.



Wow, its really hard to justify somebody replacing their arm in a free society.

[Rince Wind]

Look at the guy from the new Deus Ex games whose name I've forgotten!
So yeah, replacement for limbs lost in the service to evil megacorp A, with no strings attached. Really! Totally not just because there is an apocalypse going on.

What I would love would be some still functioning corp, like Umbrella in the Resident Evil franchise.

Adam Jensen. He never asked for this.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It looks like it does a lot of direct hit damage.  But it quickly drops down.  I took more from the falling roof than it, and this debug character is a lumberjack with 8s for stats, and no skills.

I believe they are functional on earth... unless there is something I don't know.

For the MOST part they wouldn't want to create something that couldn't be tested on earth.

It might not have great acceleration mind you...

I actually agree with this sentiment.

The way I always see Cataclysm is "What destroyed the earth?"... "Everything!" basically every apoc-post-apoc scenario in a blender.

A evil corperation that destroyed the earth? (along with the current evil government) totally fits.
