Mobile encampment/trading vehicle and camp structures.

Recommended Posts

My group has been employing tents as kind of a communal donation box. Where-ever our current encampment may be, we pitch one or two and cram extra items we bring back from our scavenging trips into it ensuring any new or recently deceased members will have better resources than normal at their disposal (benefit of community survival versus loner). I noted the limited tent storage space (excess items get dumped onto the ground around the tent only to disappear during restarts and such) and the immobility as compared to some of the vehicles we've acquired and I'd like to suggest a potential vehicle if it isn't already in the game as a random occurance already.

Heavy cargo vehicles: MTVR, Ural truck, etc.

Limited passenger space (say, driver, codrive, and two guys sitting at the tailgate watching their six), but superlative gear storage (the MTVR for instance can carry 7 tons of cargo cross country). This would allow groups to have semi-mobile encampments along with a good community storage system. It would also allow the more enterprising players to possible put together some roving traders. Find some good stuff, load up the truck and drive down to the coast where you might trade for things with other players. 10 cans of beans for a map, 15 for a compass, anyone?


Also, in the same vein as group encampments and placeable items like C-wire and sandbags, would it be possible to have player placeable items such as hesco barriers and large military tents? I figure the two would probably work as max inventory sized items (ie. they take up the full twelve inventory spaces available) and would take much, MUCH, longer to erect than the common camping tents and barrier items. These items would be useful for groups to build their own little bases somewhere in the forest.

Step 1: Find primary cargo mover.

Step 2: Repair and recover primary cargo mover.

Step 3: Acquire placeable structure items.

Step 4: Load said items into said cargo mover and head for the hills.

Step 5: ???

Step 6: Profit!
