Al - no smog pumps or mufflers to slow us down... :) Headers and straight pipes for all!

Marrkos - he meant unit defined as in how many litres or gallons.

Gro - just leave 'em alone for the time being. :)

Pardon?

He equated a 2 unit tank to a 2 gallon tank.  I just pointed out that 1 unit doesn't equal 1 gallon (or even 1 litre).

The unit size is actually defined somewhere?


When you build a vehicle, on the Other tab/page:

Quote:
Each unit in a fueltank stores 2.5 litres of fuel; minimum size is 2 units


I thought you were telling him where he could define the total unit size of the tank, not the amount per unit.

My bad. :)

Ok, we need gas to have gas that's presumably cheaper than filling our tanks.

What about food and water? If you are a town that is out of food and water, what happens if you have food and water in your lockup? Is that used first?

Yes, you don't pay for upkeep if you have your own food and water.

Just an observation of a potential unintended consequence of the higher gas mileage. Not complaining, just observing:

Personally, I feel the increase gas mileage has made my scout vehicle builds a little more powerful.

My 2xGat Windy2's no longer make sense running 3LR. Going to move them over to 3.2LV8's as the 5 extra space is cheap now. This makes the 3LR only really useful to me now on cars that can't take a V8, which are pretty rare (flash for instance.)

My 2xHMG, GG side, LR rear V8 Apaches get to upgrade to a MR rear, since they don't need the tank anymore.

Basically, I no longer have much of a tradeoff of tank size vs. extra reload/rocket/Larger engine. The tank size to get out to 50 mi is so small now that it's not much of a concern in the build.

Interesting observation procyon112 - I always use the minimum tank size for my scouting vehicles and use a dedicated fuel vehicle when I travel, so the only thing I've noticed is further scouting distances.

IOW - I didn't use big tanks before to get more miles, I just scouting the maximum I could.

Ditto.  I've never used tank sizes larger than 2 or 3 on my scout cars.  If I needed to extend range, I would add a fuel transport.

I just use the LHC to create a wormhole to teleport my vehicles around.
