Tanks are one favorite things to see in games, I mean its a massive tool of war that never fails to amaze me. yet its not in rimworld ? So let's count the pros and cons of have a tanks on the battlefield. 
This is Rimworld people, Where cannibals ware pink helmets and nudest decide to go outside when its -59F, And where shit happens. Its anything but fare or balanced, Lady Luck rolls a 1000-sided dice and 80% of that dice says"Death"on it. Your job is keeping your people alive in bad rolls. Good Luck.

yeah, its just a great idea in theory, but in reality its a pain. but hope is needed , hope that their is someone that isn't a dumy ( because I am dumy at modding ) and is good a modding will come and do it, heck, I would give them a kitten if they did,.

A kitten? Better call fluffy.

But honestly, I doubt a modder would mod in a tank. The tank itself wouldn't be entirely difficult, it's the mounting system, building it, pathfinding, how it works and such.

There is a Mod that adds Tanks as a unit (with drivers that emerge or die) as well as a faction it belongs to, something with mechanoids or troopers, I dunno, they work neatly

there's also a mod that adds driveable carts but it will break your pathfinding most likely. But if anyone wants to look into that one it's "Tool for the Haul"
