THE TIMBER TANK
(Fictional)
What's the best way to surprise the enemy? Easy! just hide a tank where nobody expects a tank to be? how do you hide a tank? simple! A tank!
Okay that was stupid, buts so is this build so we're just gonna roll with it. This abhorrent vehicle composed of oak n' steel is another example of what the pile of grayish noodles packed inside my skull likes to spontaneously cook up every once in a while. timberclad, steam-driven, guns a-blazin' and stupid-lookin. Have fun with it I suppose and try not to slam the brakes at the wrong time

HOW TO START/OPERATE
Note: ideally operated with 2 players

Vehicle operation and gun operation are completely separate. You can't do both at once unless you're duel-wielding computers
EXTRA NOTES
This was actually built a few months ago and uploaded as a friends-only build. Silly steam didn't properly set the visibility status the first time around so it was fully public for a few hours, so some of you might've already seen it.
There's no way to refuel this thing, so once you're out of juice you're just a stationary turret.
If you slam the parking brake on while going full speed you'll tip it over. As long as the gun's pointing directly forwards and not angled too high it'll catch it and put it back on its tracks

I've already noted this a while ago in my discord server, but I'll mention it here too for everyone else. Artemis and Apollo weren't the only reason I've barely been uploading for a while. This year's been pretty hard on me. I don't want to go into details, but what's relevant here is that I'm now no longer able to dedicate nearly as much time to Stormworks as I used to. I do intend to keep building and uploading stuff, however the uploads won't be as frequent, and builds won't be as large. I want to do more smaller builds like these are so I can at least put out new stuff at a somewhat decent rate, instead of focusing all of my limited free time to a single massive project.
I hope you're all okay with that, as I really don't have any other choice.
Merry Christmas, and happy new year <3
