A case for vehicles Megathread (collective feature topic)

I feel like cars are really necessary in this game to make it feel better to play. The map is big and it takes a long time to get anywhere especially when the current bike is almost useless and you might not have all the safe houses. I currently solve this with a mod that makes the bike faster, I hope they add something official though like a motorbike or a small car

If they add motorized vehicles, then these should be a magnet to all machines in 200km range due to the sound…
Otherwise it’s just not right to implement such.

This game was based on walking, exploring, due to community bicycles got added.
I hope they won’t make the same mistake again, or add the realistic consequences with this.

And I think this is a really fair request…

Pontus said that driving would ruin immersion in the game world, getting in a car and skipping everything. But what if the cars in gz were terribly inefficient? You’d constantly be looking for gas canisters and car batteries to keep them running.

In this case, it’s better not to have them at all. Since with that:

  • devs won’t waste time on coding all that
  • players won’t uproar about it’s poor use

If you want to see an example, look at Bikes and how well they are doing on any other surface than paved road.

I think the world is to tiny for cars. But I would love to see motorcycles. Also I would love to see them increase the world by at least 4 times.

I fully support his, if the logical consequences will be there as well, sir.
Motorized vehicles should be a perfect way to suicide.

I think that what Pontus and many of the devs are missing is that implementing vehicles doesn’t have to mean that players can just boot the game up, get in any random vehicle, drive to FOA and complete the game.

Vehicles should be unlockable. Like there should perhaps be no trace of vehicles being in the game until you reach the main island, and then you have a side quest to unlock something really crap, like an EPA tractor. The side quests will in and of themselves require players to walk all over the map and explore on foot. The final, OP vehicle will pretty much be a reward for exploring everything.
Please have a look at my original post.

Please add drivable vehicles. Cars, trucks … some armored/ turret guns for passengers. This would add so much to the game. Obviously people would love to be able to upgrade vehicles. Farcry vehicles meets mad max vehicles.

Just give me a motor bike tired of cycling at 20 mph

Merged into the main thread.

I think adding motorised vehicles is doable, but only after increasing the map size.

If I remember correctly; I think that the Devs. had questions about motorised vehicles in their survey, along with a modding tool and such :thinking:

Continuing the discussion from Suggestion list (ideas changes and wishes for features and additions):

If we were able to drive the cars, I feel like that would open up a lot of possibilities for the game. For instance, keys could be added as collectables, or lootable content. Explosive gas tanks, could double as gas used for the cars.
An option to armor the car, could also be added, but there are drawbacks, f.e. the more armor you put on, the slower te cars goes, or the more gas you use.
An option to upgrade the cars, or repair them could also be added if nessisary.

Sounds like you would love the mad max game. It’s really great.
It could work in GZ if it the cars was really easy for the enemy to destroy. One rocket and its gone. With you in it.
In my opinion, you, as a player, should never feel safe in this game. Not when the machines got you in their sight.

You definitely have a point there. I suppose not manny cars could withstand an entire missile salvo. But, it could add at least a little protection while your on the road.

Same discussion topics merged.

These are absolutely fantastic ideas. I love them all. I’m not a programmer, of course, but if I was, I would totally be all over this. It would open up the game like never before, and create a lot of XP earning potential.

They should totally add ATV’s, or 4-wheelers.
ATV’s would probably be better, because they usually have some kind of roof. We could have the option of mounting guns and armor to them as well.

ideas for vehicles for future of generation zero

here are some swedish cold war vehicles that maybe could be in generation zero
