Vehicle build sharing

I like the vehicle construction In CDDA, however I am somewhat poor at vehicle conceptualization.

So if you have a build you like and willing to share, especially on the smaller scale construction although any is welcome, feel free to add

So I’ll start:

Recently after reading a Wormgirl lp, I got inspired to build an APC vehicle smaller than I usually build

Built it from scratch

Features:

  • Fully amphibious - Tested at about 5 tonnes over deep water and no issues
  • Lifestock carrier built for large animal transport, cow or horse
  • Seats driver + minimum 3 npcs comfortably
  • Uses vehicle shelving from Blaze mod
  • Carries a foldable solar array for emergencies and base charging
  • Motorised curtains and doors with 360 camera viewing with limited frontal lighting for covert operations

Still plans/ potential additions

  • Add a Smart Engine Controller for more effecient hybrid control
  • Aisle lighting, either atomic or regular
  • Complete 360 light coverage for night operations
  • Turret configuration, not sure what gun to setup on the mount
  • Potentially adding light weight plating and frontal rams or blades with shock absorbers ( but I try to avoid
    vehicle damage whenever possible)

It is a little barebones on features than I would like, but wanted something relatively light weight and more fuel effecient than the usual fixer upper Security Van 5x7 mobile bases I do.

Of course the vehicle could be cut back by at least another 2 rows for a more compact design and a single lighter and more effecient engine chosen. But I mostly frankenstein’d it together from the cars collected and built it with long term travel in mind

Aisle usage is more an aesthethic choice as the engines are build under them and to cut back on my looting impulses.

  • In memory of Wilfred Escamilla

    So looked through the memorial and found my nuclear radiation victim's name and built a vehicle to honour the memory of the teachings to respect the atom.
