Vehicles consist of parts, which can be damaged and, eventually, broken. Parts can be external, or internal (which are mounted inside the former). External parts are enclosed in [square brackets], internal parts in -dashes-.

Internal parts which are tagged as 'over' are a special case. They will be enclosed in (round brackets), override the color of the external part, and will function as armor — protecting other parts in this tile from damage (although not infallibly).

Vehicle tiles can be tagged as inside (marked as In) or outside (Out). Inside tiles protect from weather effects, while outside ones don't. To become an inside tile the tile must have a roof, and the adjacent tiles must have either roof or some impenetrable obstacle (like a closed door or windshield).

The mass, top and safe speed, acceleration, fuel consumption, noise and mobility of a vehicle is based on its composition. For example, safe speed is the speed at which engine can pull the mass without damaging the engine.

Engines: load vs strain

Load is (engine power used)/(maximum engine power output). In case of a single undamaged engine, this translates to (engine power)/(max power). Damaged engine's power output is proportional to it's remaining hp percentage. Multiple engines' output is multiplied by 4/(num_engines + 3). Note that adding a weak engine to a powerful engine can actually decrease the overall power output (and thus increase engine load for a given speed).

Load affects fuel usage, smoke and noise. Load is processed twice: once for driving, once for having an active engine. When driving, load is equal to percentage of acceleration used (ie. if acceleration is 50 and vehicle accelerates from 0 to 24, load is 0.48). The second load is equal to sum of alternator loads or 0.01, whichever is higher.

Strain is (|current velocity| - safe velocity)/(max velocity - safe velocity). Strain greatly increases fuel consumption (100 times more on max velocity than on safe velocity) and causes engine damage, unless the engine is powered by muscles. Muscle powered engines will instead drain extra resources from the driver (5 times as much at max velocity as on safe velocity).

List of parts

A list of all the parts you can install in a vehicle, detailing their characteristics, the required components in order to install them and miscellaneous notes.

The Par column has different meanings depending on the type of part:

  • power for engines (top speed) and solar panel (% of 1 fuel per turn, can be > 100)
  • size for wheels (inches)
  • capacity for fuel tanks and parts that allow storing cargo
  • bonus for seatbelt (str) and muffler (%)
  • energy consumption for parts that require power from the car battery to work

Steel frame, steel plating, as well as spiked plating and hard plating can be crafted with a welder by using lumps and chunks of steel.
