1x2 is great until you are in dense forest.
When I get ingame time, I will try to test a 1x1 vehicle with 10" tricycle (or similar) wheels and a travois or trunk.

How possible would it be to create a hybrid bike that uses peddling as per a normal bike, but charges up a battery via the peddles in which you can then use as a extra boost of speed.
So far there are electric bikes which can charge power for its light, but would peddling generate enough power to briefly speedup the bike, and would it be worth it?
Should be easy, attach alternator to where the foot crank is?
Well, it would generate enough energy to briefly speed-up. But in real life, this is not worth it and no practical electric pedal assist bicycle does this.
Just attach a small storage battery.

Shame, that would have been useful in desperate situations, but least that saves the trouble of trial and error. Thanks.
I was told that pedalling actually burns calories ingame, and so I avoid it like the plague. Energy of the sun is plentiful, edible calories are not.
Might be an idea for a solar powered bike, but that might void the ability to craft a foldable bike.
An hey, once fitness works out in CDDA, burning calories might be a good means to exercise.
My bike is solar powered, but the solar panels are mounted in another vehicle (EV car). That vehicle has a recharging station in one of its trunks, and in that trunk there are multiple car batteries. Swapping a car battery takes 60 seconds and provides 1/3-1/2 of an in-game day’s motorcycling needs worth of energy.
I don’t recommend mounting solars or storage batteries on anything that can get smashed, as they are expensive to repair. Car batteries can be repaired easily at no cost.
True, last thing I’d want is lose something as valuable as a solar panel.
I think bikes can also charge via a bike rack, so if you have an overly modified and heavy bike, that can be useful; If you’re willing to sacrifice the space for it.
Not sure about bike racks, but jumper cables do work.
Tested that, and it’s very slow. Be more efficient to rely on a charging station instead.
It’s as slow as whatever that you use to recharge the source vehicle. If you have 4 intact panels, then that is about 240W midday. The recharging station is 600W, but only 80% efficient.
Right, I’ll have to test that out and see.
Is there some way to lock doors now (last experimental, I mean), at least on vehicles?
I’d like to lock those Feral Humans out, you know.
Is there a way to make a hole in a garage’s concrete roof? I’d like to deploy a stepladder inside. I don’t want to build a staircase as it takes 12h to do so.
I found a Spectre Recon Mech, it mentions having a laser sniper though I can’t seem to fire it. Has it just not been added into the game yet as a weapon for it?
Thanks.
While your character is riding it “RMES marksman system” should be wielded automatically and at all times. And it works, even though as a weapon it’s quite meh.

Why are all the farms so small (8 overmap tiles max) and always only corn? Inspected 5 farms so far.
There are different types of farm. Some that have pumpkin, garlic, potatoes and more. Probably just been unlucky so far.
The farm_plots pallete has just corn 
Man, the corn lobby is even more powerful in DDA world!
