← All FAQ topics

Answers describe the base game. World settings and mods can change its rules.

How do I get my first bicycle?

Check trader progression rewards or craft a bicycle after unlocking its parts. With standard progression, bicycle parts unlock at vehicle crafting level 5. Rewards and offers can depend on world rules.

When do I unlock the minibike, motorcycle, 4x4 and gyrocopter?

Standard vehicle crafting levels are 20 for minibike parts, 45 for motorcycle parts, 70 for 4x4 parts and 100 for gyrocopter parts. These are crafting skill levels, not character levels. You still need the recipe ingredients.

Where can I get gasoline?

Obtain gas through suitable salvaging, loot and trader offers. After unlocking the recipe, craft it in a chemistry station from oil shale mined in the Desert. Bicycles do not use gas.

How do I refuel and repair a vehicle?

Carry gasoline or the appropriate repair material and use the vehicle interaction menu. Fuel and vehicle condition are separate values. Refueling does not repair collision damage.

How do I make a vehicle faster or reduce fuel consumption?

Install compatible modifiers, such as a supercharger or fuel saver, and read their descriptions. Modifier quality can affect the bonus. Compatibility and world fuel settings also matter.

Can another player ride with me?

Only if the vehicle has a free passenger seat. A compatible seating modifier adds seats to some vehicles. Unlocking a vehicle for a friend does not create an extra seat.

Why can I not pick up my vehicle?

Check that its storage is empty, nobody is using it and you have inventory space. Use the pickup option in the vehicle menu. Do not try to pick it up by destroying it.

How do I take off in a gyrocopter?

It needs fuel, space and forward speed. Accelerate along a suitable surface, then gradually raise the nose using the assigned controls. It does not take off vertically like a helicopter.

My vehicle or drone disappeared. What should I do?

Check the map, your last route and where you left it before the interruption. On a server, ask the administrator to investigate. Do not delete drone or save files based on a random fix; causes vary.

Why is my drone not healing me?

Check its medical modifier, supported medical supplies, distance and behavior settings. Owning a drone alone does not enable automatic healing. If the requirements are met, record the version and circumstances of the problem.
