Wheels and Jerry Cans Space

[XibaRootS 40]

Hi everyone, so i've been on a quest for two days trying to repair a V3S and the only thing that i can't find is the glow plug. And by being on this "quest" i've notice that the space occupied by the wheels and by the jerrycan is extremely huge, and that made my task as long as s***t, all i wanna do is repair that to carry some stuff around, maybe make a camp. I think reducing the space that these parts take on our inventory is the key here. In my humble opinion 4x3 for the jerry can would be ideal and 5x5 for the wheels would be great as well.

 

I had to carry every single wheel from one place to the next many times, that pissed me off, doing the same thing for like 7 times, only that took like 2 hours or even more, cause i had to find the specific type of whell that i needed, if i could only carry some of this parts in my backpack it would be great, What you guys think?

Vehicles are a bit of a group activity and "end game."  It should be more difficult for a solo player to get one up and running.  It wouldn't make much sense to cram even a car wheel into a backpack.  That said, wheels are persistent at this time so gathering them isn't really that big of an issue.

 

2 hours really is not that long for DayZ.  These sort of events are supposed to be time consuming because the pay off can greatly reduce time spent in other areas.  You go from taking 30 minutes to run the map to 5 mins to drive it.  You can now transport well beyond your maximum capacity and group play gains a huge benefit.

 

 

As a side note, the v3s is bugged last I checked and you don't actually need a glowplug.  It's also supposedly a terrible vehicle this patch.

Yes v3s won't need a glow plug to start (but like said the v3s is the worst vehicle for some reason , it handles slightly worse than the bus and has less power, hopefully that will be fixed soon). Also ditch that Jerry can man ! They basically give us infinite gas in each car to test them unless you get the infamous "gas leak" glitch (I don't know if it's a glitch or a feature lol). I'd look for an offroad hatchback at these locations : cap Galova lighthouse , Cherno western end near storage garage close to the school, and the town of Pusta. Those three spots are so close you can server hop your favorite aervers on those three spots to try and find a car , then spend your next few hours scouring Cherno and elektro (best place for spawning offroad tires).

Like said above repairing a car is kind of a group effort but that doesn't mean it can't be done by a single person ... It just takes some planning and a little bit of luck , keep two tires on the car and store two tires in a house close to the car and that will solve your tire issue , always keep the battery and spark plug on you so it doesn't get robbed and when you are having trouble finding wheels ; don't be ashamed , just server hop and find those damn wheels (we are testing , don't let availability of wheels on one server ruin that for you !).

Best of luck Mang !

Thanks for the answer dude! I think that the V3s is supper glitched atm cause it starts the engine without the glow plug but it doesn't move (LOL). I've seen ppl in other threads with the same problems in another spawn locations. But yeah i did something like you said, but instead of leaving the wheels in a house, i had a barrel hidden near the location with the stuff i was finding in it cause i didn't know that wheels are persistent rsrs.

 

Thanks you both for answering, gg guys.

See, heres the problem that I find. The character ingame, is decently built, possibly ex-military. He can carry one wheel, while using both arms. Im 17, a little overweight, and not really built. I can carry 3 wheels (My dad has a Yukon XL that I do the maintenance for, the wheels are pretty big) at a time. 1 with each arm, and 1 on my back (I created a little harness). And like the OP, the space that tires occupy is insanely too much. The Hatchback, being the smallest car, could still carry at LEAST 4 in the back, and likely 1 under the rear like most cars now. Shit, you could even strap 1 or 2 down on the roof. Yet, the inventory doesn't even allow for 2 wheels.

i fully agree, its a lot of unecessary work, say that you have to find 5 specific wheels for a truck and you have a weapon on your back and another one on your hands, you'll have to leave one behind in order to carry one wheel only for 5 times. I would rather get rid of lot of food and other stuff from my backpack to carry one more wheel instead of my primary weapon wich was found in a military (high risk zone) place. I just think it doesn't make sence, after all this is a game and should be a fun experience, day z already has a lot of repetition, by that i mean dying and spawning again with nothing, looting the same places etc... You don't need to take things too serious, thats just my opinion anyways.

 

Look at the old mod at its prime, it was hard enought to manage all the parts if you were alone, you were able to carry wheels and other parts in your backpack, but it was a hard task even the same.

But again, thats just my opinion and suggestion.

I drove a bus. Comparing it to the V3S Cargo, the bus is a plane, the truck being a snail.

DayZ is a game of risk vs reward.  Of making sacrifice for pay offs.  Double carrying in itself is a choice of extra annoyances for the reward of having two primaries.  Planning and effort are a part of DayZ.  If everything is easily done by a solo player with no drawbacks then where is the challenge?

 

Make some friends to relieve the burden or else plan wisely.

 

BTW the v3s doesn't need its middle wheels to drive.  They are also adding in bicycles and motor cycles for solo players.

I just want them to add Dirtbikes. Hopefully they won't all be "shoot-me-Red" colored. I want a black or dark olive/green color so its harder to find when I hide it in the woods.
