I have a vehicle that allows me to craft most everything in the game(onboard forge, welder, FOODCO buddy, and a general cooker) and enough storage space that I’ve never needed to leave something behind. What are the benefits of having a stationary base besides farming?

I feel the crafting system in general is the issue here. I can do precise crafting while freezing to death, or treat mayor trauma on the fly. If crafting would check the environment (lighting comfort level cleanness and what not) and the state of the player( Now you can use a needle while wearing bo…

Part of the problem is that it’s pretty logical to use a mobile base if you live mostly alone in an unremittingly hostile world that relies on you scavenging to survive - assuming it is possible at all. I mean, if the main threat to your survival is thousands of shambling two-legged monstrosities, …

So you can perform CBM surgery only in a sterile setting. Use hygiene values calculated from stuff ariund you, mopping, place never having been in fire or smoke, showers for general hygiene and sterile status for your hands and so on. Take away at the same time mobile welding, forging and cooking, …

As a side note, not only is it more convenient to set up all your crafting in a mobile base than a static one currently - the fact is you generally don’t even want to install most of the real crafting stations, as they take up far more room than you need to. It’s much more compact to make a bunch o…

In my opinion Cataclysm should face the problem of a limited food + fuel + ammo + guns + items. Now, hunting is the source of an unlimited amount of meat. Animals spawn in a crazy way so that players don’t have to worry about starvation. It is strictly connected with the fact that guns / ammo aren’t…

Mainly storage, and a place to go if your vehicle gets scrapped. If you have a mobile base and consider it satisfactory, there’s really no need to change things. I prefer having supply racks and organization which is hard to do with the limited storage space of a vehicle.

I have this bicycle in real life mate. PM me if you want to see pictures =D Wald baskets at the front and rear each have been modified with a 1/8th inch cold rolled steal plate with a lock on each side. The “cage” is boxed in with thick aluminum but to look at it no one would know it isn’t steel. A…

Came back to CDDA after a long break, signed up to the new forum and stumbled right on the topic I thought about too. What I think we need here is some kind of a more or less unified vision on the underlying narrative and philosophy of the game, so I’ll try and have a go at it. Will be a wall of te…

I agree with the opinion that just placing a whole lot of roadblocks on vehicles is not the way to do this. Static bases are boring. If you nerf vehicles so they need them, what you’re achieving is forcing the player to insert boring interludes in their playthrough. For static bases to be attracti…

Seriously! Let’s start by making static bases at least as functional as vehicle bases. Items under the construction menu that use or generate power, or charcoal equivalents would be a great start.
