What if: Fuel

[Falcrist 119]

Simple premise:

What if there weren't any infinite fuel sources, and you had to scavenge for jerry cans in order to refill the tank on your vehicle?

Adjustments may need to be made, such as the rate and location that jerry cans spawn at, or maybe even the rate at which vehicles actually use fuel. (the jerry cans would probably disappear on use)

What benefits and drawbacks would this have, and what other adjustments might have to be made to make this work well?

Someone asked something similar on the AMA.

I think someone asked Rocket this in the AMA

1) What is “AMA”?

2) What was his answer?

3) Seems like a good thing to discuss if I'm not the only one who has thought of this. ;-)

I also have some changes I would love to see added

1) Remove the fuel from fucking propane tanks and move filling locations to actual gas stations (basically ~3 less fueling locations)

2) Jet fuel for helicopters... cmon Bi, as a war simulator producing company I think we are to expect you to simulate the proper fuel allocated to different types of vehicles

3) Jet fuel to ONLY spawn at the 3 airstrips/fields. This would add A LOT more traffic to those areas (especially top right airstrip)

4) Introduce a pump system, I found a hacked crate couple of days ago and managed to jack a... what the fuck was it called.... portable motor or something, I did some poking around and rocket said he's looking for a use to this item; WELL HERE YOU GO! If a player brings that with them and park the vehicle/heli in a specific radius it would be auto-filled within a short period of time (to combat the log re-fueling process with jerry cans)
