Are you enjoying Vanilla Vehicles Expanded?

FWIW, warming to it a bit more now as I get more used to it. I think part of it is that there's a bit more of a learning curve to it than a lot of the VE mods. Probably doesn't help that I'm playing on a heavily wooded map so I had to clear a lot of terrain before my vehicles could get around. ...actually, you know what would be interesting? A bulldozer, either as a separate vehicle or as part of a vehicle upgrades system, something capable of crunching through trees and weaker structures.

Definitely not a question to me :)

not sure if this question is relevant to you or smashphil. when going on longer caravan trips with the vehicles, shouldn't bringing fuel with the supplies allow you to go farther? but how do i refuel my vehicles when they're out?

Karl Franz

Absolutely!

Oskar Potocki

can one add turrets to ships too? i would love a mortarship, giving artillery support for my land based invasion.

I hope we get a Baneblade. 11 barrels of hell!

Correct, bangbus has the same move speed as a horse and world speed multiplier of 1, which means it travels as fast as a horse. Just because Vehicles are good when travelling on the world map, doesn't mean that every vehicle will be good for caravanning. And we need to remember that bangbus has benefits that a horse will not have - it shields people inside with thick armor that exists on the sides of the vehicle. Good design is not 'making everything better than horses or travel on foot' but 'creating niches and giving every vehicle something special'. Yes, Bangbus isn't great for long caravans unless you encounter a raider ambush, in which case the armor might just save you and let you escape, where a horse wouldn't.

I also have problems with caravaning but it seems to be a design oddity, not a bug. This is just my expectation, but vehicles are faster than people yeah? Probably faster than horses? Maybe this is just a bug but the distance calculations for the caravan will often tell you the time to travel is the same as walking which seems... off. It might just be a display issue though?

Not sure if this the right place to post this (I just joined). Does anyone know where to find the art tutorials?

Please make sure to report it directly to Phil. You can do so on his discord: https://discord.com/invite/zXDyfWQ A lot of people say there are things to iron out, but noone goes into specifics and noone reports it to him. As such, he's not even aware of the issues you plan to wait to be fixed.

Oskar Potocki

Tried it out a little bit. I could see some of the vehicles being handy for combat, but so far caravanning is just aggravating. I'm guessing the problems I'm experiencing are Framework related rather than VE but I may end up leaving it for a week or two and seeing whether some of the rough edges have been worked out by then. The vehicles look great though!

You shouldn't report issues here, you should report them to Smash Phil on the framework page.

Waiting for CE to complete their patch.

Haven't been able to fully enjoy it because my laptop is just two stones taped together with pictures drawn on it. But I know I will enjoy it once I get my PC.
