People go that fast? o.O I usually go 9mph or 19mph.

If I go any faster I get into wrecks with random shit on the road, and I'd rather than not happen, and I lose 2k volume in items in the ass end of nowhere, end up marching on a dead end road.

Oh... Good song. Thanks for reminding me that exists.

[NullForceOmega]

I cruise at 19mph, sometimes I go as high as 39, but there's no point (that I've ever seen) in going faster.

[pisskop]

120 km for hiways i have been on before
48 for city crawling.  any less and you risk getting bogged down by zeds walls and cars.  getting bogged down in non armored car is deadly and in an armored car is risking zeds in the cracks

[NullForceOmega]

You play with hordes tho'.  It's reasonable to assume that with hordes on you need the additional speed, but without them going faster is just not really necessary (and with all the wrecks clogging the roads, rather hazardous.)

Also, we're talking mph here, not kph.  1.609 kilometers in one mile.

[Ehndras]

I've got 190kph in real life, but probably never even hit 60kph in-game.

Lets see... 19/20 mph would be about... 50 kph? Oh. Okay. So I was right I think?

[NullForceOmega]

Anyway, it would be completely viable to switch the diesel engine out for the large electric motor, if one were inclined to do so.  The APC is already in good shape, so unless extricating it from its current location would be particularly onerous it could be a good choice.

[Ehndras]

Hmm.... You have a point... Damn thing is huge, but I should be able to manage.

Its got a few damaged bits here and there, but I can fix them without much issue.

Would the electric motor even work? I mean... The thing is heavy and huge. Its like a bus.

[Ehndras]

Could I possibly put in TWO electric motors? Does that even work? How fast do solar panels charge? I've seen 0 increase from 10% since I got my solar car.

Never touched vehicles until 2 days ago, as I haven't played since before they existed, so... No clue how this works.

Red makes 'em go faster.

[Ehndras]

Red? Red what?

[TempAcc]

RED GO FASTA U DUMB HUMIE

[Sharp]

Yeah make it red, add flames and stripes (along length of vehicle, not width) and you will go faster.

[NullForceOmega]

If you have a high enough mechanic skill, then yes, you can add two large electric motors to it, if your skill is high enough you can add any number of engines/motors to a vehicle.  I've got one deathmobile in particular that has 12 large electric motors, still never drive it faster than 50 Mph, even tho' it can break the sound barrier.

Each time you add a new motor the skill necessary to add the next one goes up tho', by a lot really, but even two motors (around twelve skill I think) is more than you almost ever need.

[Ehndras]

Ahhhh. Hmm... I need some more skill then, I'm only at 10.

Why do swappable storage batteries weigh over 300 pounds now? I thought the whole point was supposed to be they were supposed to be simple and fast to take in and out, but its nearly impossible to even carry one more than a few steps even for an enormously strong survivor. The next biggest battery is 60 lbs which seems like a pretty big gap and it can only be welded in. Personally I'd make a 150 lb battery in-between and then make that the new storage battery. And then make the current storage battery into large storage battery. That way you'd have the laptop sized small storage battery, the current small vehicle medium storage battery, the large but still manageable storage battery, and then the huge unwieldy large storage battery. Then make them installable as small medium and large swappable storage batteries for the 60 150 and 330 batteries respectively.
