time spent driving vs on foot

[Griff]

would you say you spend the majority of time driving in this game or exploring areas on foot and crafting stuff? I kinda want to get it if you're not hopping out of the car every minute and have some lengthier drives

[ShockedHearts]

you only hop out as much as you want.

in order to complete your mission you have to do an objective (usually collecting 1+ cores that can be used to escape.

when you get to later missions you will have to travel through multiple areas to reach it since they are far away, so stopping for supplies and stuff when you want can be a thing you do. or you can do supply runs and then stock up like crazy before longer drives.

so my answer is it depends on the player and if they like to loot every little thing they see.

For the first few hours you loot everything you see — dumpsters, cars, houses, towers, facilities, — you need everything and it is indeed tiresome to leave your car every ten meters. But once your base storage is full, you simply ignore basic stuff, stopping only for something rare or unique.
My first expeditions were 1-2 hours long, because I scrapped literally everything, but now they barely take me 20 minutes to complete, because I'm not stopping for trash.
