Question about vehicle construction.

[Fingersmith]

Hello , m8s . I would like your experties on something. One of my characters is in a place without an assembly line and thinking about making a vehicle the old way. But before pressing the build button and start spending resources , I would like to know the following. In the build page for a let's say a passenger car (without the assembly line) there is a list of resources needed, without any parts or semi products needed or mentioned. Does this mean that when the project is finished the vehicle in question is fully functional, engine included? Or should the engine be manufactured separately and installed after the construction of the vehicle.?

If this has already been answered just point me to the appropriate link.


Thank you

The vehicle will be made with a lock, but the engine needs to be built separately, and installed in the vehicle. The engine is made via making say, Engine parts A, and carried to the vehicle, and then the engine build menu allows you to make it in there.

Job done.

I think engines always need to be constructed separately. It wouldn't know whether to make type A or B and if you want to use a fuel injection system, so it wouldn't make any sense if an engine was included.

An assembly line just makes parts, it does not construct a car.

Hello everybody,

I have been looking at vehicle construction in the wiki, and I have noticed that while there are two ways to construct most land vehicles (with and without assembly line), it only shows a 'with assembly line' possibility for for certain others, for examply jeeps and pickups. The text on those pages still mentions both possibilities, so I am wondering what is the matter here: is the text right and the 'without assembly line' info box is simply missing, or is the text wrong and it is indeed only possible to construct these vehicles with an assembly line.

Thanks for getting back to me on this!

Both those vehicles (and others) can be built with and without the assembly line. I believe this is just a case of missing information on the relevant wiki pages.

Thank you for the fast answer, CK. Do you happen to know the materials it would take to build a small pick-up truck? Or is there a way to figure them out from the info on the wiki?

[Chroma Key]

You can use the building menu in game to see what materials are needed. I'll PM you anyway, in case it should not be posted here.

Anything on the wiki is considered public knowledge for both players and characters. There is no need to keep it in PMs unless you're talking about how much of x resource your town currently has in its storage room (which shouldn't need discussing, but hey, what do I know).
