Vehicle durability

[wanton wind]

We need a slider for vehicle durability. I love fixing vehicles up but driving down the road should not 0 them.

[deep condor]

Well, if it was the Black Bear Road it might (IYKYK). But hitting zombies on the road does wonders for your chassis.

[toxic smelt]

Not sure why your cars are breaking down quickly mine actually last a good long time. Are you beating the hell out of them running into things?

[ebon knoll]

Mine run fine

[zenith oasis]

Same, cars so fragile!

[ebon knoll]

Then drive better

[upbeat portal]

I made a test and installed a 75% health chassis and drove only a few blocks without hitting anything at all and it was already down to 60%. The rest of the car parts seems to be depleting at a normal rate but I think the chassis needs to be fixed.

[toxic smelt]

It's kind of a known thing that the chassis part wear down pretty fast. I think the devs are aware of it and plan to balance it at some point. If you need car parts hit up David's Auto Parts in Dennemora. I have collected practically a warehouse of new parts from there so it's something I never worry about. David restocks the place almost weekly even though he's a zombie. Now that's dedication 😄

Where’s that?

Isn’t that that small garage I’ve seen on the outskirts of town?

[toxic smelt]

The blue building right in the middle next to the road (not the building I am at the one to the left of it)

[ebon knoll]

Yep

The road between dannemora and the island

Is that red or brown?

[deep condor]

That color is coppery bronze

[ebon knoll]

Ok

So not red

[toxic smelt]

Yeah I like that color sadly there's no spray paint to match it so if you find one that color keep it

[ebon knoll]

Well I’m looking for a red car

Well red enforcer

[deep condor]

Or red spray paint and steel wool

That Color is called Dark Mesa Brown Metallic by Chevrolet BTW

[toxic smelt]

There's red and dark red spray paint

The dark red seems to be extremely rare

These are the available spray paint colors

[ebon knoll]

Interesting

Well I can’t pant the car with those unfortunately

[toxic smelt]

Why not?

[ebon knoll]

I’ll keep looking but if I catch find any I’ll jus take that one

[deep condor]

Sure you can

[ebon knoll]

I thought you just said you couldn’t

Oh cool

[toxic smelt]

You can paint most cars any one of those spray paint colors

[deep condor]

Thats what steel wool is for, strips paint off a car, then use spray paint

You can't paint box trucks or the flatbed ones, but cars you can

[toxic smelt]

I paint all my vehicles 😛

[ebon knoll]

Where do I find those two things

[ebon knoll]

Blegh lambo

[toxic smelt]

auto parts store.

[ebon knoll]

Also just found one lmao

[deep condor]

Try the auto parts store, after that, random garages and sheds for paint

[ebon knoll]

God damn it it doesn’t have a key

[deep condor]

Make sureyou have gloves on..."That's what SHE said!"

Pick the lock, replace the lock, voila.. a key

[ebon knoll]

Im talking about in the ignition

[deep condor]

Vehicles are Uni-keyed I believe.. if you replace the lock, the ignition changes too. Cranky?

[ebon knoll]

Odd lol

But how do you get the key?

[deep condor]

When you change the lock you get a key automatically in inventory. First though, take all keys off you so you only have "That" key on you. Then rename the key so you know it's for that vehicle, unless you just want to leave it in the ignition.

[ebon knoll]

I have none lol

Ok I removed the locks now how do I install the new one

[deep condor]

Same way, menu should say install lock (have lock in your inventory)

[ebon knoll]

Yep got it

Thank you

If that works then what’s the point of hot wiring lmao

[deep condor]

Hmmm, good question... lockpicking vs electrical skill? Not sure.

[ebon knoll]

Well I mean it makes great skill grinding

[toxic smelt]

Yeah I know. Doesn't make sense to me either. It's annoying having a car that says "Hotwired" all the time when I've made a lock for it.

[ebon knoll]

Honestly as long as a vehicle isn’t my main vehicle seeing Hotwired is fine
