Vehicles are far too SQUISHY!

It's a cactus! Duck and cover!

I'm sure this'll be addressed in some fashion in beta. I'd kind of expect an ATV like the Flash to bounce up over or flip over when it hit a rock, or bounce off (with the potential to throw or injure the driver and any passenger, if it has passengers). Tanks exploding when they hit them? Yeah, that's a bit extreme, but this is alpha still.

As for the cactuses, who knows? They could be crazy alien cacti with shells formed using a particularly dense element (lead, tungsten, etc) available in sufficient quantity in the ground for the cacti in that part of Auraxia, along with internal bracing to support the shells, and let's say a 6 meter long taproot with the same shell material, starting at the same diameter as the plant itself (Assume the cacti start growing without shells, then build them as they harvest the materials underground, using large root networks stretching out from their taproots).

If you rammed something like that head-on at high speed with a large ground vehicle it would at the very least crunch a cactus-shaped indentation into your vehicle, bring you to a stop, and depending on how fast you were going, could injure anyone in the vehicle (or break or weaken parts of the vehicle's mechanics or electronics due to the sudden deceleration?), I would expect.
