Re:Broken Down Automobiles
Pretty good idea actually, I like it.
Then there's also the obvious possibility of striping them down for metal and parts and such. If there was a way to move the cars they'd be good to use in building defences.
Re:Broken Down Automobiles
Accidental second post, but I'll just add that if you couldn't do anything with the cars and vans then it'd be a real kill joy. I hated seeing the broken down cars in the Fallout games and knowing that I couldn't do anything with no no matter how close to being operational they might look.
Also, if the need to sleep is implemented and thus you need to shelter for your sleep then the cars could be used as makeshift shelter.
Re:Broken Down Automobiles
Assuming the wheels still turn they could be turned into make shift wagons.
Re: Broken Down Automobiles
Actually that wasn't half stupid thought of.
Though I'm not sure if the container idea will work though it was well thought of, but we can or should be able to break them down into parts we can use.
Make shift wagons, I think about a ton heavy car might be a bit over.. hmm.. The top for what a human can pull, no :P?
- Perhaps if you stripped it first so it was only a very light metal frame.
Defo something to elaborate much more on =)!
Re: Broken Down Automobiles
I'm not really sure how this would work even if they wanted to do something like this.
Would broken down cars just spawn randomly around the world, or would there only be a set amount of cars in the game at launch?

I was thinking about it being more of a craftable item that would require many metals. Maybe having it be a pattern or a structure. Sure, we could find out how to build a automobile, don't mean we'd know how to use it. I'm just trying to take advantage of the locks so people can protect their goods. Of course, other uses for it would be appreciated, would really like the idea of broken down cars.
Re:Broken Down Automobiles
i would for cars to become operational or maybe using the radios in them some how. maybe later in the game we could learn how to fix em up and actually use the cars.
but for now yea stripping cars for parts would be a good idea and cars in good condition for storage/housing
a limited amount of cars sounds like a good idea to me, with more being found with the expanding mist. personally i dont like the idea of building cars, way to sophisticated to be building in the sticks
Re:Broken Down Automobiles
I think that they should be respawnable.
New player: "Hey guys, I see yall have this really cool turret bus. How can I make one!?"
Old player: "Oh, you can't. We already harvested the parts from cars and can't manufacture any new ones because our characters are stoopid. Oh yeah! And the cars don't respawn either."
New player: "But I just joined! :("
