'''Vehicles''' get you across the steppe quickly and carry cargo in their trunk; the later ones fight for you. There are three: the '''Steam Buggy''', the '''Armored Car''' and the '''Rune Tank'''. All three are items: you place them in the world, drive them, and pick them up again.

All three use the same driving controls and reach the same speed.

== Recipes ==
All vehicles are crafted by hand or in a [[BlockFactory:Fabricators|Fabricator]]. Each upgrade uses the previous vehicle.

{| class="wikitable"
! Vehicle !! Ingredients !! Time
|-
| Steam Buggy || 8 Engine Unit, 20 Iron Plate, 5 Steel Plate || 2 s
|-
| Armored Car || 1 Steam Buggy, 50 Steel Plate, 10 Advanced Circuit, 1 Assault Rifle || 5 s
|-
| Rune Tank || 1 Armored Car, 20 Rune Slate, 10 Electric Engine, 1 Rocket Launcher || 5 s
|}

== Controls ==

|-
| Pick it up || Crouch and hit it
|}

When you pick up a vehicle, it goes into your inventory together with everything in its trunk; what does not fit drops on the ground in front of you. You cannot pick it up while someone has its trunk open. In Creative mode, placing does not use up the item and picking up gives none back.

Vehicles belong to no team: any player can drive one, open its trunk or pick it up.

== Fuel ==
Put fuel into the trunk. While you sit in the vehicle, it uses energy every second; when the stored energy runs low, it burns the next fuel item from the trunk. When nothing is left, you are dropped out with the message "''The vehicle is out of fuel''". Unused energy stays in the vehicle. In Creative mode, driving costs nothing.

The Steam Buggy and the Armored Car burn the same fuels as furnaces and drills. The Rune Tank runs only on [[File:BlockFactory_Battery.png|24px]] Batteries (5 MJ each).

|-
| [[File:BlockFactory_Battery.png|24px]] Battery || 5 MJ || – || – || 10 s
|}

== Vehicle weapons ==
The Armored Car and the Rune Tank fire on their own while you sit in them. They aim like a tower: first the nearest attack group in range, otherwise the nearest War Golem, otherwise the nearest nest. Each shot uses one ammunition item from the trunk, taken in slot order. If there is no target in range, no ammunition is used.

{| class="wikitable"
! Ammunition !! Used by !! Damage per shot
|-
| [[File:BlockFactory_Cartridge.png|24px]] Cartridge || Armored Car || 5
|-
| [[File:BlockFactory_Steel_Cartridge.png|24px]] Steel Cartridge || Armored Car || 8
|-
| [[File:BlockFactory_Uranium_Cartridge.png|24px]] Uranium Cartridge || Armored Car || 16
|-
| [[File:BlockFactory_Rocket.png|24px]] Rocket || Rune Tank || 120
|}

With Uranium Cartridges, the Armored Car deals up to 80 damage per second; the shots of one second all hit the same target. See [[BlockFactory:Weapons and Armor|Weapons and Armor]] for how ammunition is made.

== Damage ==
Vehicles cannot be damaged: not by creatures, stray shots, falling or water.

== Noise ==
A vehicle makes noise every second you sit in it, like a running machine. A long drive past a nest can draw an attack group to where you are. See [[BlockFactory:Enemies|Enemies]].
