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.
