* You can change a huge amount of things in the setting, including "how many clicks it takes to install/swap stuff on your vehicle," "what do you lose on mission failure/death," and "does it pause the game when I bring up menus (default: no)" | * You can change a huge amount of things in the setting, including "how many clicks it takes to install/swap stuff on your vehicle," "what do you lose on mission failure/death," and "does it pause the game when I bring up menus (default: no)" | ||
* The "Tech tree" is pretty overwhelming initially but IMO the critical ones to shoot for early, other than more storage as needed are: | |||
** Impact Hammer | |||
** Outfiting Station | |||
** Matter Regenerator | |||
** Side Rack | |||
** Side Storage | |||
** Steel doors/panels/bumpers | |||
** Seat Rack | |||
** Auto-Shifter | |||
* Trap options to avoid early: | |||
** Large fuel can - This does NOT replace/upgrade the small one in your trunk, it's a separate 2x3 inventory item. | |||
** Turbolight engine - You will be unable to get the parts until midgame. | |||
** Liberator - You're better off trying to find one in the field, unless you have the rare resource it requires to craft (5 ThermoSap Crystal) | |||
* Once you unlock it don't forget about the outfitting station! It's more than just a medium backpack giver, each clothing item bought is permanent and passive. | |||
* You can generally leave your car running when hopping out; gas is plentiful in the starting zones. Headlights will drain your battery so use your judgement on keeping that on; consider using your interior dome light if you need a visual beacon instead. | |||
* Most Kits (electrical, mechanical, med, putty) stack to 3 in the same spot, so if you bring one you might as well craft and bring 3 with you instead. Food stacks to 10 and you can eat while driving with the hotkey (v by default). | |||
* There are several garage items that respawn after every expedition including the car wreck outside that you can break down for basic materials. | |||
* You probably want to deconstruct/remake your tools if they're below half, especially the impact hammer which is hard to craft in the field. If you don't have a scrapper, the dumpster will give you one for free, so before you go, grind the wreck, deconstruct your scrapper and talk to the dumpster get a free replacement! | |||
* Even though the tutorial has you use putty to repair, the game actually expects you to re-craft and swap your parts into the repair device once you unlock it. Putty takes chemicals and is moderately valuable so avoid using it on panels and doors; save the putty for your more delicate components. | |||
* If you find a early liberator in the wild, steal offroad tires and armored panels from trucks rather than grinding them for parts. It takes a moment but firing a single shot disconnects any item and offroad tires especially are helpful to have. | |||
