Speed. Current situation need to be changed.

[anonim17465]

Now, after some point speed is capped by a propulsion limit. But between cap and zero additional weight speed is the same. That's wrong. My idea is to use formula, where with infinity weight speed = 0, and with 0 weight speed = capped.

Speed = (CURENT_WEIGHT/MAXIMUM_WEIGHT)^(1/2)*MAXIMUM_SPEED

With high weight speed will be low, but not at zero, closer to 1\3, but with low weight speed will be close to maximum but still, every gramm will affect on real speed.

Power can be changed from about 1/3 to 2/3, I think. But 1/2 looks nice for me. Main thing - every additional killogram should affect on speed.

P.S. Flamethrowers should have bigger weight. already done.

Flamethrowers should have bigger weight.

They do since 3.1.1.

My idea is to use formula, where with infinity weight speed = 0, and with 0 weight speed = capped.

Another common idea is to just set all the caps to infinity and see what happens. You can easily do it without changing any formulas, with just a mod.

Overally, yeah, we do need body-propulsion rebalance. Improving engine speeds is one part of it, buffing light bodies is another.

I have said about bad speed formulas many times.

My balance patches and mods all contains a fix for speed which makes each killogram affect on speed

We have crazy code in speed formula which increases speed and maximizes speed to max value for propulsion.

You are missing other factors, which are the physical features of the map. These are instances:

1. The kind of material of the tile, such as sand, stone, water, snow, etc.

2. Elevation: Moving up hills would reduce the speed and traveling downwards should amplify the speed.

sure, terrain and elevation are implemented already, no need to change them I think.
weather - does it exist? never saw rain\snow in a game...
