How do I attach the headlight to the minibike

[TOMARSE]

I've created the minibike (pretty cool) but don't see a slot to add the headlight.
Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

When you're in the minibike you only have to press F to turn on the headligh.

The headlight is on the handlebars? :p

[Splatter58]

headlight should be part of making the minibike handlebars.

OK, thanks. I had a couple of headlights from cars and thought I had to add one of them to the bike in order to get light. So what are the car headlights useful for?

[WarShrike]

You cheated the bike into the game, didn't you?

[TOMARSE]

WarShrike; I wouldn't know how to "cheat" to get the bike into the game in the first place but thanks for that classy comment. I've been playing for ages and only now got to the right skill level to build the bike.

The car headlights are used to make the minibike handlebars. They also can be used to create portable lights. might have other uses. click on one in inventory, and choose recipes and it may/should tell you what it can be used for.

If you built the bike, then you'd know you need the headlight to make the minibike handlebars, thus my question, as you seem to have no idea what they're for.

I found the handlebars, a seat and only had to build the frame. Happy now?
"seem to have no idea what they're for"...right cuz I found the handlebars which were obviously complete with light. The handlebars didn't come with an explanation about the light. It still doesn't explain your ignorant suggestion.

You probably want to keep an eye on the durability as dropped minibike parts are often pretty crappy levels. When they get to less than 40%.... they often fall apart quickly... often at the worse possible time.

With a workbench and forge its not hard to build new ones. Also the better the engine, the faster it will go. If you have a mining helmet, you really don't need to turn the headlights on, and run down your battery.

The better engine the faster it will go and the better the fuel economy as well. Better engines should use less fuel for the same distance as crappyer ones. I usually like 300 or more quality engines because the speed and amount of fuel they use is much better at that stage. Sub 100 and you might be better off walking but 250ish and above and it's worth using.

Thanks for the info.

You have to be in the crafting station for that to work

So if you hit show recipes while not being in a station, it will only show you what you can make from it by hand. If you are in the workbench it will show you recipes that will craft, in the workbench, same with the forge and so on

If you are outside of a station you can type in a recipe name and find anything and it will tell you what station it requires if any. But if you are hitting the show recipes button on a specific item, it only shows you what you can make "at this moment" based on what station you are in (or not)

So in reference to the headlight, its not obvious until you go to the workbench and it shows you the other things it can be made into by hitting show recipes

Otherwise, you'd need to know the name of the recipe to search in in the search bar

So how did you miss the icon for the assembled handle bars/front forks having a headlight on it then??

[TOMARSE]

Are you WarShrike's lawyer or what? LOL I just didn't notice the light, sue me. The light is fairly obvious in the crafting menu with the larger image available there but I didn't craft the first one just plonked it in my backpack and put it in the storage chest. If I was going to cheat (particularly in SP) I think I would have done it 30 of my deaths ago and 710 zombie kills ago. Can I go now? Will you be able to sleep OK tonight?
