Even barter is pretty useless: almost everything you should want can be found after a few days scavenging.

[Sheb]

Hopefully it'll change once factions standing are done. The one thing you can't scavenge is NPCs to help you (althoug turrets come pretty close).

Another question: if you have activated turrets on a vehicles, will they continue shooting if you get out of the vehicle?

Yes, they will. At least so long as you are around somewhere. I played around putting a flamethrower turret on my 'spotlight' vehicle, the ol' frame/seat/headlight deal for artificial lighting and it will happily incinerate wolves or anything that comes within range even if you are sleeping someplace else.

Woo, hadn't even thought of building a stationary vehicle for the sake of a turret.

Does it require controls as well as a seat? Also, does it need an engine?

Still needs controls, doesn't need an engine. It does need a fuel tank for a flamethrower though, at least how I was making them, I didn't think to drop jerry cans on the turret to see if that'd work.

[Parsely]

Finally found the 'static spawn' control in the options. Before I was having an awful time of it just getting a backpack or a mailbag to start myself off.

[Sheb]

Neato. Makeshift flamethrowers are easier to make than turrets, don't risk misinstalling and shooting you in the face too. I kinda like the idea of adding turrets to my death RV, parking in the center of town, throwing a noise emitter by the window, and going for a good night of sleep, with a cleared town in the morning.

[DrPoo]

2easy. Mounting turrets should require tracking units to work.

[Fniff]

Surely that'd be already part of the turret anyway?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   yeah these seem to be set and forget type of system where its a all in one package. Advanced mil tech type of stuff.

[forsaken1111]

So what is powering the computer system that is targeting and firing the weapon? Does it run on battery?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Sorta, it actually contains what could be described as a nuclear battery. Like the one in this article but slightly bigger so as to provide the needed energy. It has a few of them in strategic points so there isn't just one point of failure and no one can just snip the power cord to shut it off. You might turn off the ability to turn but it will still be able to shoot, albeit only straight ahead.

Well, I've been slowly punching shockers and whatnot to death through the window. I'm getting in pretty bad shake. I've got a few deep bites, but I found a first aid and I've cleaned the wound. I'm slowly clearing a path to a alcohol store with a bar behind it. I need the bandages, for the ones I'm finding have run out on me and I need my First Aids for the various deep bites I keep getting because of my SHIRTLESS GENOCIDE. I'm currently at around twenty pain, but I'm checking bathrooms. I found some oxycotone the last time I played, right before I saved. That should help me for a bit.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Be a man and take care of your bite wounds by heating up a sharp piece of metal into the wound once you find some of that good stuff.

[DWC]

If you get a bite wound, just type in a, d, 3 and you'll be good to go.
