Can't you use a bike?

[Sean Mirrsen]

There is a serious dearth of chains around my location. I don't have sufficient knowledge to make them, either, so I'm unable to make foot cranks for anything, including the turret(s) that I want to fit onto the wagon.

(speaking of which, grenade launcher turrets are foldable, but tiny engines are not. What the.)

[Gamerlord]

If you have a decent amount of Power Storage + Integrated Toolset you can assemble/disassemble your scout vehicle whenever. It really shouldn't take longer than a day to do so, it's what I do out of my bigass solar powered truck. Anyway, what's the best way to empty

out the vaults below the pump station towns. Because seriously, fuck irradiated wanderers.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I don't use CBMs. And play with power armor, survivor armor, Rivtech guns, and energy weapons disabled. I just carry a toolbox around and keep a welding rig in the van.

And sure, it probably wouldn't take long to just bolt on the engine and tank after the motor-less vehicle is unfolded, then cut them off and stow everything back again, but it just seems like a waste. Why have to do that when the engine in question is small enough to fit in a chainsaw?

[ejseto]

The problem is that, for whatever reason, none of the motors and engines are foldable. Not even the sub-liter 1-cylinder ones you would get from i.e. a chainsaw. Tanks as well. Is that a design decision, or will there be technical issues if I just slap the foldable flag on the 1-cylinder engine and the little gas tank?

It's a design decision. You can easily disable the checks if you understand a little code. I made it so I can fold any vehicle and made it have 0 volume and weight so I can carry around my mobile base. Heh.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Hehe, that's certainly handy. Thankfully I don't need such silliness. The problem I have is that a one-cylinder chainsaw engine is not foldable while some rather larger and heavier things, like storage batteries, are. It wouldn't be so bad if it were like real life where you don't need a welder or duct tape to install a tiny motor into a DIY construction, and can do with just a wrench and some bolts.

so in the latest experimental what should one do in the first few days.

Wow, this sewage plant has a bunch of CBM's. It's got a lower floor to. Neato.

Forget food, find yourself a place to sleep first off. Then short term food, then tools.

I almost always get hungry/thirsty before I get tired. And finding a place to sleep isn't too hard so long as there isn't a swarm on.

I would recommend do it all at night.

[Descan]

I usually can survive off foraging for the first little while, especially if there's a river/swamp nearby where I can get water. I can usually get a stone pot with a bit of wild-life butcher and meat killing, and from there I can boil the water I need and forage the eggs I need to survive long enough to get some basic reinforced clothing, made from the curtains of the windows that I then board up, to start going after the towns.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Okay, I think I freaking love this thing.

It's so simple, yet so useful. I could probably make do with something powered by a foot crank if I could find/make one, and not need to modify game files. It's essentially a Segway. A unicycle Segway. It easily outpaces any quick monsters, matches pace with the slower ones, and allows me to do drive-bys with a pneumatic bolt thrower, reloading without stopping. And since it's basically a lawnmower, I can just heft it into the back of my truck and keep it with me and ready to use at all times. Very, very useful.
