Fuel Issue

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 Not really an issue until scavenger.... If you refill, say, a 2-unit gas tank from your lockup it consumes an entire can of fuel. So now I'm stranded. hahahaha Suggest having lockup fuel stored in bulk (e.g., "Your tank contains 38 units of fuel"). From there you can fill cans for transport or tanks for cars, but at least you're only using what's actually needed. Will trade ammo/water for fuel in Elmsfield, btw. ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Sep 18, 2011, 2:30 am Last edited Sep 18, 2011, 2:31 am by JeeTeeOh

Not sure how much work it would be to fix this, but it would also help the ammo situation being able to get those spare rounds of weapons. ......................... vet combatL1 wv1,0,0 Posted Sep 18, 2011, 4:52 am

*jimmylogan* MADHAT Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 5,587 Joined: Jun 11, 2008 Since no one has enough ammo to carry lots of spares, just throw one of those cans in cargo. Now I've not tested that, so I don't know if you come back with no fuel or not - guess it depends on how far you're scouting. ......................... vet marshal deathrceL1 wv community combatL1 Posted Sep 18, 2011, 2:41 pm

Now I've not tested that, so I don't know if you come back with no fuel or not - guess it depends on how far you're scouting. If you get into a portion of the can the can is gone. I started noticing all this when I got the brilliant idea of running over to Elms to pick up some water. Now I've got my only decent car stuck in Elms and none of the events are paying in fuel. (Anyone need water? Come get it! hahahaha) In short, this is a real problem in a world where ye olde petrol is hard to come by. Mental picture: My idiot garage-boy keeps hooking the can up to the car then wandering off to stare at Rev's nuns. He comes back to a full tank of gas and a car sitting in a pool of fuel. Looks for sponge, curses apocalypse and lack of cleaning supplies, leaves fuel to evaporate and pushes car out of garage to avoid blowing up the entire gang. ...and since there are no garage-boys out there who WON'T do this, I can't even fire the guy. ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Sep 18, 2011, 4:24 pm Last edited Sep 18, 2011, 4:27 pm by JeeTeeOh

Blaer Andre Assault Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 276 Joined: Mar 9, 2008 Fuel is going to be a problem, to be sure.. but one I think we can adjust for... the problem is how to only use one can of gas instead of a full fill.. I'd like to be able to just get enough gas in my car to go out, and then leech my fuel off my victims... ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 18, 2011, 11:01 pm

One way is to resize a big tank then syphon off what you can get from the loot screen (there is an option for that btw) never tried myself heh ......................... vet marshal wv pvp3 zom circuit2 pvp1 cont Posted Sep 18, 2011, 11:44 pm

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 I'm pretty sure my mech isn't talented enough to resize a fuel tank. But I'm betting he IS capable of improvising a big ol' steel container for storing fuel in bulk. ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Sep 19, 2011, 1:21 am

Blaer Andre Assault Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 276 Joined: Mar 9, 2008 what I mean though.. is I hope we could empty our tanks at home.. or only put in so much... and is a gas can one unit? ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 19, 2011, 3:15 am

Nope.  A gas can is eight, or maybe ten units.  That's why I'd like to see this fixed... if I refill a 2-unit tank from my lockup, I'm losing 75% of the fuel the gas can holds. ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Sep 19, 2011, 3:55 am

*Urban Decay* Old School Perverts Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 1,023 Joined: Nov 8, 2007 The only option I can think of that sounds feasible, would be that once you refuel a car from lockup, if your tank size is smaller then the fuel can's units, you could then select additional cars to refuel, until all 8, 10 or however many units the can holds become exhausted. This way fuel cans don't have to be converted into fuel units directly into the coding. Could be a quick fix until such a way to convert fuel cans into fuel units could be implemented. If it even can be done. ......................... vet wv marshal raceL1 deathrceL10,4,0 Posted Sep 19, 2011, 4:36 am

Groovelle Load Runners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Subscribers Posts: 758 Joined: Jul 15, 2009 Couldn't this be fixed with a single variable per town called "free gallons"? You can convert one can of gas to 8 free gallons that can be used to fill up your cars with "Refuel from lockup" (refuels from your town's "free gallons") ......................... vet wv0,2,0 Posted Sep 19, 2011, 8:06 pm Last edited Sep 19, 2011, 8:08 pm by Groovelle

Rokkitz Monarchs Autodueller Mutants Faction Group: Members Posts: 277 Joined: Nov 26, 2009 I dont see why this is an issue? Its the same with ammo when you reload half clips. Sure, its not very realistic, but I dont see any problems that is disturbing for gameplay as long as everyone is aware of it. ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 19, 2011, 10:09 pm

Blaer Andre Assault Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 276 Joined: Mar 9, 2008 So, just so your aware, I found a bit of a band-aid for big tanked vehicles... My pu has a tank of 12... That being the case I only need 8 to get where I wanna go... As that is the case, what I do is load all the cans but one onto vehicles, leaving only one in my lockup, and when I hit fuel from lock-up, I only use the one can giving me 8 units... Better than 2 giving me 12... A band-aid... Really liked the "units" in storage option... And if that's do-able, could we also A: choose to put in only so much and Bwhat I'm hoping for) siphon gas FROM our tanks to our lock-up... I can do it in the field... I'd love to take the 2 units out of the vehicle I'm about to scrap for that soon to be very important Scrap Metal... ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 20, 2011, 9:13 am
