Directional Controls
-
DMV replaces vehicle turning controls with WASD controls, like your character.
-
So, W will go North, A will go West, S will go South, and D will go East.
-
Vehicles smoothly turn, drift, slow down, and come to a halt, like in the movies. YouTube Demonstration Video
Soft Collision
-
DMV vehicles have soft collision and no collision damage. It's natural to get through forests and around factories.
-
At top speed, cars can jump isolated obstacles such as a downed tree or power pole, and even cliff faces if you're driving fast enough. Still, Cars are 20% to 25% slower than vanilla, showing a top speed of 75 km/h on dirt, or 85 km/h with nuclear fuel. (Updated in 1.0.5)
-
Tanks can plow through boulders and biters alike, while Wardens can mow through forests and pick up the lumber automatically.
Paint Jobs
-
Paint your DMV vehicles individually! Just click the vehicle and choose a color in the top-right of the interface.
-
The paint color is permanent, and is saved when you pick up the vehicle into your inventory.
-
If you’d like more paint options, including very dark black and very bright orange, install the Oil-Based Paint mod!
Weapon Auto-Targetting
-
DMV vehicles can shoot their weapons autonomously if you enable Auto-Targeting:
-
☒ With Gunner or ☒ Without Gunner on the vehicle interface. This makes the Car similar to the AAI Chaingunner, so for balance, the vehicle machine gun now shoots a bit slower.
Remote Control
-
The Spidertron Remote is now the Remote Control, and can now control any DMV vehicle. You may choose in startup settings at what technology level it can be unlocked.
-
Install Spidertron Patrols to automatically load and unload vehicles at docks.
- DMV vehicles use fuel and ammo from their trunk, so all you need to do is load them up at a Spidertron Patrols Vehicle dock.
Engine Purr
- The DMV Car has a new engine start-up and idle sound loop, which is more of a purr.
