[Azira]

Is the game really that buggy? I feel my interest in it waning..

Normally not, no.

There were some amusing bugs on release, most all of them got fixed.

Apparently this one crept into the game while I was away - there have been some updates after I stopped playing.

 

[Nevill]

Go to whatever is closest on the way to the transport. Milkbar is 250 KM to the North, the transport is 331 KM to the North-East. Should be manageable to do both.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

Know what? Let's just head eastward and see what we run into.

Oh, this looks familiar.

oohhh, radio signal? Should we investigate?

Spoiler

That's not a question. Of course we are.

Spoiler

wut do

 

[Gondolin]

Go in.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

[Nevill]

Proceed.

 

[Gondolin]

This is interesting. Are we armed? How well?

This is interesting. Are we armed? How well?

There are three forms of combat in this game.
1. Cars driving around the wasteland shooting each other. AKA the combat portion of this game.
2. Dialogue choices can result in one or all of your vehicles taking damage.
3. There are a few rare occasions where combat is played out through dialogue encounters rather then normal combat.
Your guy won't ever be shot while on foot or anything, so don't worry about that. Your guy has a tendency to run back to the convoy vehicle whenever someone is about to shoot him.

 

[Gondolin]

Thanks for the explanation, Alex Heartnet. Let's go in.

This is the most terrifying sports station I have ever seen

 

[Nevill]

Shoot it. Shoot everyone. Everything!

You burn us up, we burn you right back.

 

[Gondolin]

Meh, shoot it. But I know things just can't be that easy.

 

[Grimgravy]

Chase and tackle it. If it's futbol rather than football, chase and slide tackle it.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

So you goons want to shoot at whatever it is?

With all those eyes staring at you who will no doubt notice?

 

[Nevill]

For all it's worth, I want to shoot them, too.

 

[Azira]

Chase it.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

You goons seem to be torn between shooting it and chasing it.

Pick one.

 

[Gondolin]

I'll switch. Chase it.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

Spoiler

Sometimes you get to meet the Shadow - it's a dice roll if you do or not.
Not today, it seems.

The Milkbar is 262 KM North
The Ethanol Chemist is 278 KM Northwest
The Stem Bolt Convoy is 251 KM to the northwest
The Omnidirectional Booster Goofball is 143 KM to the east.

also we should probably start earning scrap metal at some point I'm surprised that there hasn't been a random event yet

 

[Nevill]

The Stem Bolt Convoy is 251 KM to the northwest

West already?

Let's finish this before they move further or reach their destination.

 

[Alex Heartnet]

The terrain is such that we won't be going straight ahead to the , gotta navigate terrain.

We are headed into blue territory. That means privateers TORVAK

Speaking of which I am surprised that we haven't hit a random encounter yet.

Spoiler

ohhai radio signal

Spoiler

Correction: We have in fact arrived at Privateer territory.

Spoiler

 

[Nevill]

Attack. Privateers are scum of the earth and a disgrace to all of the free-roaming pirates like us.

 

[Azira]

Why would we radio them? We don't have any scrap to barter with. We'd better just attack them.

 

[Grimgravy]

Can't argue with my fellow goons logic. Attack!
