Status Report - Week of 29 Sept 14

[RTA 3]

It wouldn't be ludicrous by any means. The hardest part would be finding/making fuel. The rest would be a piece of cake. Cars would be literally everywhere man. Take a look outside your window. Most of those cars would run with hardly any work at all (mainly a fresh battery would do the trick). 

 

The battery will be the interesting part. Ever sat a car battery on a shelf without maintaining it? Unless a battery is charged occasionally, the chemical composition of them breaks down and they are useless. To be realistic, they would need to be regularly cycled in a car/truck or charged with some other source (solar, wind, generator). I suppose they would decay like apples, etc. The only fresh batteries would be those that have been used regularly since the "start" of the apocalypse, and even then they will deteriorate, so it might be that the only way to get a working battery would be to steal one from someone else.

The meaning of vehicles in the mod was not to be everywhere for easy moving across the map, but the objects of hard achieving and fighting. Also hiding from helicopter or trying to shot it down is awesome experience too))

Where would he get the battery?  :P Also, push start. Once the car is running and the dynamo is ok, the batttery will start charging up ;)
