[vanilla] Exploding Gas Tanks

Description
Exploding Gas Tanks!
Gas tanks will explode if they take certain types of damage while filled with gas.

Tanks do radial damage based on the total internal pressure of the tank.

Explosion applies physics to objects as well.

Empty tanks or tanks with a small amount of gas do not explode.

Damage types
The following damage types will trigger explosions, tanks take increased damage from these sources:
Fire
Explosion
Bullet
Mine
Rocket
Bolt

Compatible with mods!
Will accept any modded o2 tank and calculate its pressure and apply damage based on that.
Will work with mods that apply damage as well, as long as damage type listed above is applied it may trigger an explosion. Damage handlers have low priority so admin mods that make grids invincible will override this mod.

Hi, I am not going to be updating this mod as its already pretty much vanilla, its only up for legacy reasons.

Hi there, i can comfirm this causes crash to DS soon as a tank explodes.. unless using modded tanks, if so no crash, but vanilla ones. crashes everytime, - used test with just this mod loaded into local was fine. used fresh world loaded into DS had my wife as enermy shoot my hydo tank, boom and freeze/ crash - remove the mod. not crash.- i have no logs as they seems to overider when the server auto rebooted after crash. but i did repeate this using local hosted DS i can send logs if you wish-
Thanks for keeping this up. i use alot of your mods and tyvm for all your work.-

be nice if the o2 tank were hit it would leak out and cause it to spin around

Yes, it will stack with vanilla.

I just saw a stream where this was used. Is it possible that this stacks with the vanilla explosions now? Wondering to keep it for added boom fun or not...

Hey this mod may be old and works till this day. Congrats to that! But.. maybe try to optimize it a bit now. there are alot of people using this mod. Would love to see an update to this mod after years :p

Regards.

This mod would be good, but the damage modifiers make it unusable. Tanks of all types are way too fragile. Anyone know of a way to change or remove the modifiers?

is it just me or are tanks supposed to be one shotted by a single bullet and blow up?

Just detect where the tank was hit and apply a force vector at that spot with the same vector as the bullet that it, for the thruster effect. Assuming the api allows you to detect and apply those things.
