Cataclysm turned into a crazy "Build silly cars and ram everything" and i love it. Would be great if one could just "attach" existing cars to your main one and have a gigantic derby-train ^^

[Aseaheru]

Its been that for a while now. Also, I too wish for trailers to be possible, but I foresee great problems with getting such a system to work.

Funny story, trying to make monster summoning turrets makes them pop out of you instead. So my idea of making a blob mother turret that can fire torchie blobs didn't work out so hot.

Also, attaching enough anti-gravity panels to get your vehicle to negative weight makes for some very entertaining physics antics.

Speaking of cars, does anyone find the "new" turning system really hard to use? I have a problem with crashing into walls that are 1-2 tiles away.

[Greiger]

No issues here.  I think I have noticed a slight difference between front and rear wheel turning, but not enough to cause me to start plowing into buildings and things more than usual.   I imagine making an all wheel steering vehicle might let ya literally turn in a dime though.  That would be cool.

[pisskop]

how?

if all 4 wheels turn in the same direction than it wont turn, just glide to the right.

[Greiger]

Doesn't all wheel steering have the front wheels turn right and the back wheels turn left? (when turning right)   At least that's how rovers I built is KSP always worked with AWS.

[pisskop]

maybe im underthinking this.  for small vehicles i cansee it

But if you add a specific complaint maybe?

[ChairmanPoo]

Rats are even more crazy hard to hit

[pisskop]

Use slings for weak things.  Guns and fires for large things.  Of course, you could also ignore them until you get the skill to hit them.  And drop your armor to stop taking penalties from encumbrance

Man, I hate zombie scientists. Infinite manhacks is not fun. Just lost a very promising character because I got stuck too close to some and couldn't outrun the manhacks before they hurt me too much.

Oh another note, how do you use tree spiles? I made one and had a decent selection of starting tools (hammer, knife, screwdriver) but still couldn't do anything with it.

[Aseaheru]

Those sound new. Probably are just for maple trees tho, try finding one and examining it.

[pisskop]

the zombies have 3 to 4 manhacks per on them in the stats

[Mephansteras]

You can craft spiles easily enough. I tried using them on maple trees but it insists that you need a 'tool to drill into the crust'. Haven't seen any drill tools yet, and it would be odd to need something as rare and complicated as an electric drill to do something people have been doing for hundreds of years.

Heck, woodpeckers have been doing this for who knows how long, and they just use their beaks.
