After starting out with a new character, I see a farm to the north-northeast of my starting shelter. I come across a trap nest on my way there, and disarm a shotgun trap (without having my limbs blasted off, thankfully) and 4 crossbow traps. I pick up the crossbow and the 4 bolts, and hike on to the farm.
After dancing around the barbed wire fences with zombies from the shed next to the house, I decide to go off exploring. There was another farm northwest of the farm I’ve claimed as a base. Next to the dirt lot in front of the farm was a dead military squad, and in there was a suit of power armor, a hauling frame, and a helmet…
I hauled that all back home, and decided to try on the power armor. “You can’t wear power armor over other gear!” Great. I had to drop EVERYTHING on the floor, and then put the power armor on. Then I decided to put the hauling frame on, and felt much better about carrying stuff. The armor itself is incredibly hard to move in and very warm, but that shouldn’t be an issue for me.
Then I decided to follow another road further north, and found a 3rd goddamn farm! Fortunately, this one had a fully-functional truck, with good tires, a good engine, and 3% gas; I took it, and decided to drive it back home…
I stopped periodically to check the gas, and last time I had checked it, it read 1%. I’ve been driving like that for the past 15 (real-life) minutes. Either I’m running on fumes, or I’ve found a magical truck that runs forever.
I’m playing on the 0.5 release, by the way
