Tornado Intercept (PMW)

Meet the Specialized Tornado Research Vehicle

This modification introduces the Tornado Intercept Vehicle 2 (abbreviated as TIV2) into the game - a unique transport for studying tornadoes. This is a reinforced Dodge Ram 3500 with armor made of 1/8-inch thick steel plates, equipped with hydraulic stabilizers and anchor spikes for reliable ground attachment during hurricane-force winds.

Vehicle Controls

Main vehicle control elements:

• Activate stabilizers - X
• Deactivate stabilizers - V
• Measure wind speed (only with PMWeather) - R
• Turn on headlights - Z
• Turn off headlights - C
• Move forward - W
• Move backward - S
• Turn left - A
• Turn right - D

Weather Mod Compatibility

The modification is designed to work together with Protomanly's Weather Mod. For the vehicle to function correctly in strong wind conditions, certain parameters need to be configured in the weather mod's settings.

There is also limited compatibility with Weather 2, however in this case it's impossible to adjust threshold values for TIV.

Important Setup

For TIV2 to work properly with Protomanly's Weather, you need to add a special block to the block strengths list in the server configuration. Use the identifier: tornado_intercept:tivtwothreshold=(desired_wind_speed)

Step-by-Step Setup Guide:

1. Open the pause menu and go to "Mods" section
2. Find "Protomanly's Weather mod" in the modifications list and open "Configuration"
3. Go to "Server Settings"
4. Scroll down to "Block Strengths" section and click on it
5. Scroll down again and click the "+" symbol at the bottom
6. Enter: tornado_intercept:tivtwothreshold=(your_wind_speed) If the text is highlighted in white - the setup is correct!

Crafting the Vehicle

To craft TIV2, the following components are required:

Three armor plates:

One bulletproof window:

One hydraulic system:

One engine:

And two wheels (any type of wool will work):
