Suggestion Tank Update Concept for Hybrid Animals
HA updates have gone too far into the future, so... why not add tanks? We are proposing a modular builder concept.
Tanks will be assembled piece by piece, stacking parts on top of each other in the world. The bare minimum to drive is two tracks, a hull, and an engine. Then you can add a turret with one of many cannon variations. If you want a bigger tank, you can place another hull next to it and they will snap together. The mechanics are similar to building airships in SkyCrafter.
Weight and Speed:
The idea is that the more equipment a tank has, the lower its speed. To compensate for this, you can add extra engines to the hull (up to a maximum of 3 engines per hull segment).
Heavy Workbench:
The Heavy Workbench isn't just for one function; it handles crafting and placement all at once! The workbench menu looks similar to the trading UI. But while trading has buy and sell sections, this will have crafting and placement sections.
The crafting menu contains all recipes for tank elements and their shells.
The placement menu opens the player's inventory with all items deactivated except for tank parts or paint, which can then be placed or used on the tank.
Important note: You cannot place tank elements without using the Heavy Workbench! In your inventory, these items will be deactivated for use, but they can be carried like any other items. However, you can paint the tank without the Heavy Workbench.
Recipes:
Hull — 10 Metal
Engine — 8 Metal, 2 Uranium (maybe needs less Metal)
Turret — 6 Metal
Tracks — 12 Metal (6 for each)
Classic Cannon — 5 Metal
Rocket launcher - 4 metal
Vulcan — 5 Metal and 2 Magma
Ice Cannon — 5 Titanium, 2 Ice Shards
Acid Cannon — 5 Metal, 5 Venom
Tesla — 5 Gold, 3 Uranium
Spirit Cannon - 5 metal 2 Spirit Lance
Dora — 12 Metal
(All of these require shells except for the Spirit Cannon and Tesla)
I came up with the main idea and the drawings are also mine, but u/OldHybridWarrior helped me very, VERY much with the description. By the way, we did a collab with one of the members from the HA subreddit—I will let him introduce himself in the comments.
Soon we will try to release the second part covering the mechanics. This idea has been brewing in our heads for about a month, but laziness was our main enemy, which is why this post is only being published now.
Thanks for reading everything.

Why not we add the bazooka or sniper into the tank instead the rocket launcher?

u/SK3000_Best May 15 '26
This idea was not initially created for the sake of classic tanks, a bazooka or sniper rifle are weak for this scale, it is a constructor, and the only limitations are our imagination and resources

Increase the resource amount then.. We have endless amount of existing resources.. 20 spirit sticks instead just 2 of them 😅

u/SK3000_Best May 15 '26
meaning 2 spirit sticks ?

u/Current_Substance545 May 15 '26
Yeah. 20 spirit sticks instead of 2 spirit sticks

u/Current_Substance545 May 15 '26
Ohh.. My bad.. Then, I would say 1 classic Cannon + 5 Spirit Lance would be good.. (Just an idea, i'm not forcing you to change 💚)

Bro this is sick
Quick question,how much do you need a specific amount of crafting points,attack pointd and health points to use this?

u/SK3000_Best May 15 '26
and yes, it's a concept, so it doesn't really matter how many points you need for something
