Hello earthlings! With the arrival of the Coronavirus, I shall ask a question for all to answer...


The Semi Tractor.

It might not be the best vehicle, but it works.

Now, it has a little problem, though. See the screenshots below.

https://prnt.sc/rl94ocl

https://prnt.sc/rl9547

https://prnt.sc/rl95ug


You see it? I think that you do see what I mean. It lacks space for a driver, as it says, it has 18 Cargo Space left, you cannot put a driver into the vehicle, can you?

Adding 2 more poins of Cargo Space would not only help the Semi Tractor have more space for smaller weapons, but it would allow it to use the biggest engine in the game, 9.4L, of which it has space in the Engine Bay for.

I hope this is understood well, and I look forward to seeing if this will be accepted, and updated in the next version of the game.


Edit: Right, as I thought... The links weren't clickable, but back when I posted this you could still copy and paste them to your browser and then be able to view them... Now they really are dead links...

But yes, as mentiond by Synyster Gates, it is missing exactly two Bulk to insert a driver into it.

I see no screenshots, just broken links, however-- I don't own a Semi, but I know that if you're looking at the vehicle editing window then you need to show 20 cargo to fit a driver. If you're in the standard viewing window, any number equal to or above 0 means you can fit a driver. If it shows a negative value, you have no room for gangers.

That being said, if having a 9.4L on the chassis means you can't fit a driver then I would support this motion.

For the sake of science I built one and can confirm that it's 2 bulk shy of fitting a driver. With this discovery, I'd like to suggest to further improve this chassis' design by saying that these should be able to fit 9.4L engines unexposed. I feel like this would become an excellent chassis for fun shenanigans if you could slam a 9.4L in there and cruise around.

Fun, maybe, but it's got quite janky physics collision responses if I recall.
So you'd have to promise not to harrass me if your semitractors keep toppling over and bouncing around.

Indeed! Unexposted, Exposed, it doesn't matter! (preferably unexposed because style can lead to destruction)

As long as it has space for a driver (and a little extra ;)) I am fine with using it any possible place.


At least 20 for a Machine Gun, though...





Oh, and Sam, of course we know how badly the Semi Tractor behaves, both on the track, and anywhere else... C'mon, let us have some fun!

Besides... I already am used to the so called "next turn, ghost flips."
jumpscare.

I refuse to make any such promises, but I promise it'll be plenty of fun for me!

Problem would be solved if clocky would put a 7LV12 in it. It would be lighter and faster and have an extra 40 bulk that could be used for your driver and a weapon. But something tells me clocky didn't think about this :rolleyes:

I can see the logic of not having to use a super-rare engine in order to put this never-used chassis more fun. I'm not sure that the best solution is for someone to have a spare million or so hanging around. And I reckon most people would choose not to waste an expensive engine on a bouncy folly.

the faster pussycat we ran in semi tractors on the Gateway track was one of my favorites... wobbly physics and all.

i would love to see this in use more. Its bulk seems far too little given how big one of these things is (and how they often have sleeping space as well).

Surely the test for larger vehicles available space is - 'can I fit a rollcage, a re-ram or two and a big engine?'

As a former irl truck driver for nearly 20 years, the cab over y'all use does not have a lot of interior room. The drivers portion is taken up by what's called a doghouse which is a large box between the two front sears fir the transmission and your sleeping space is literally a twin size bed with storage under it.

To hell with your real life comparisons, I want to see this chassis made usable for fun shenanigans.

A real mini or the not-so-mini mini?
