Hey goys. I need some camp advice/help. I was given a camp by someone who is no longer a subscriber and I want to learn how to use it. I drive a flail there with a scout/mech and bring some food and water, get a farm going, and prep to start bringing stone so I can fix the deteriorated buildings. The next day my flail is at 10% chassis (no damage to the 5Lv8 LOL)....

So here is what I need to know. How do I get what i need out there so I can rebuild? Do I have to drive there, drop off, and immediately return so I don't risk more deterioration? I am assuming I will not be able to keep any vehicles there till I get a mechanic shop, is that correct?

Any help would be appreciated and I welcome camp members. Camp is called Republic of Kekistan, used to be The New Fort on the Edge of the Desert.

Thanks in advance, goys. Just wanna know how to get this ball rolling. I have mechs at other camps and never see anything from them, so I wanted to be able to make things for myself as I get serious about DW again.

First thing. Hit the wiki and read up on camps, camp advice, and manufacturing.
A lot of this is really old information, but nothing has changed in years.

If you travel to your camp, be out of there by nightly reset, 7pm in my timezone, or you get melted. In the short term, get a mech shop built, get 4 mechs out there, and you should be able to roll in and out safely with a few rigs.

You only need to worry about food and water if you're producing or manufacturing, in effect, it's for the NPC workers.

If you have any questions hit me up here or if you see me online.

Look at your camp info page, the total CR of your vehicles at camp cannot exceed the max CR allowed. If there a re a bunch of vehicles there, start by stripping off weapons, then armor on each vehicle until you get under the max limit. That will keep you from accruing any further damage. Make sure you check CR when you arrive with a transport of stone for building repairs. If your CR goes over again, send the transport vehicle back to town before the end of game day. You need lorries to expedite stone transports. If you need help, pm me when you see me in the client.

Thanks guys. I ran a couple of vans out that way and lost one, but got a little bit of stone there. Thanks for the intel on the CR and vehicle damage. There is another vehicle there I can scrap. I need to hunt down a couple of lorries so I can start transporting stone there. My run today wasn't so bad. No encounters on the way home.

Thanks again. Should help me dodge the autodamage. Poor flail.
