Tank

The Tank is a armored fighting vehicle added to the game in Alpha 0.11. It is a mid-game weapon with two guns; an integrated Submachine gun and a powerful cannon that uses cannon shells.

Movement

The tank is very robust and unlike the car can move through and destroy trees with near impunity, though forward momentum is required to do so. This can also be employed as a weapon against Enemies, though be warned that certain enemies and structures- in particular, nests,- will deal high damage to your Tank in the process.

The tank is slower than the Car, but the freedom of being able to traverse trees with ease makes it a preferred vehicle among many players for exploring lands abroad.

Capsules and Bots integration

Capsules can be used while inside the tank, including combat robots. Construction robots, including those from a personal roboport within range of the tank will repair damage if repair pack are available. Also, Logistic robots can still refill the player's inventory. This can be very useful for reloading as new ammo dropped off to a player driving the tank will first be loaded into the tank if space is available.
