FreedomTea 9 Posted May 21, 2012 My group stumbled across two vehicles in the space of five minutes, both fully repaired minus fuel. I ended up with the UAZ which had five empty jerry cans in the boot (Most likely someone ran it dry- unless they spawn there?)Anyway, I know when vehicle parts are red they need replacing HOWEVER I accidently ran over a fence and the fuel tank and wheels turned orange.My question,Will the fuel tank and wheels slowly turn green again? I have seen this happen with the wheels on a bus, or do I need to replace them? And whilst they are orange will they give me less performance?The poorly written wiki says the UAZ should go 112kmph on land and 44 off-road yet this one goes 75 max on road and 22 off. Is this a mistake of the wiki or is something wrong? - keep in mind the vehicle was 100% green when testing this speed.Can only time repair orange parts or can i fix it with my toolbox?Im pretty annoyed how beat up this UAZ got from driving over a small piece of wood.Thanks for any information you can provide.-before our run-in with the fence of demise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
broosy 4 Posted May 21, 2012 To answer your automatic wheel repairing: To repair any vehicle part the correct way you must repair them with the correct part required for the certain area of the car, you can repair any part of the car at any time, even when they are green :P .Server resets and crashes seemed to fix my vehicles parts as well, also, I have had an experience were i smashed 85kph into a car and it broke the 2 front wheels and badly damaged the engine, During this time about 20-30 zombies were coming after us and we stayed in the car. Once the zombies started hitting the car the 2 front wheels magically repaired themselves and so did the engine, ive had this happen multiple times, seems zombies are mechanics... (Bug of course).Regarding speed: Press E or hold shift to go faster, i usually hit 90-100kph going on straight roads (except dirt tracks) and going down small hills will increase my speed into the 110+kph range.

FreedomTea 9 Posted May 21, 2012 Grand, thanks for the help.In addition, can zombies break your car?Our bus spontaniously killed everyone inside after zombies slapped it, but im confused if that was because of the zombies or that we were running with a red engine.What does red engine actually do?They all seem to work with it, although a little engine symbol pops up now and again.

woodstock21 1 Posted May 21, 2012 With the zombies attacking the car typically it will still damage to the car as well, just the way the game its, just be thankful the zombies are not like the ones in other zombie mods for arma, where juts a good couple of hits will destroy the car. as for running into thing, this is not BF3 or CoD this is arma, you will get used to the fact that running into things will hurt your car alot, again just be thankful that past patches to the game fixed the issue where driving too fast down a step hill would kill you lol =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milancz 10 Posted May 21, 2012 But it seems to me that vehicle damage in DayZ is way heavier than default arma. Nudging into any object at 1kph will make your car explode it seems to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dimedius (DayZ) 0 Posted May 26, 2012 I'd like to add a question of my own. Got a hold on a car and after a no response for x seconds logged out and right back in. The car was near a tree before this incident and touching the tree afterwards.The passenger side wheel is gone and some of the windows are busted out. Now reading, I should be able to mouse scroll to repair but unfortunately I don't have that option. Is this a bug or what am I missing? I have the required gear to fix it.

powder_08 0 Posted June 10, 2012 Do vehicles stay at the last spot they were driven, or do you have to save it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
