Mobile base?

[Captain Sweaty Balls]

So I was thinking to make a mobile base, my question is, will bots attack upon sight if they can't physically see me inside? Let's say an RV camper van kind of base. I know bots attack you when driving normally but that's because you are visible but what if I am inside of a "cockpit" for lack of a better term? Or is it that bots will attack anything player made? If they do that kinda sucks..

They will go for your blocks like they did with the market buildings.

plus the machenry is very heavy and will eat your gas, i just weatched scrapman and he wanted to make a mobile mining rig, but it just ate gas.

2 empty collectors made my pistonride slow AF

You can modify gasconsuption in the game folder, also i personnaly have a mobile base with good metal defense, the bots can see you behind the block but you have time to kill them easely if you play with sound.

kinda defeats the purpose of making a mobile survile base if your just gonna go into creative

Yeah I was thinking to do this, like idk for every 5 oil it give you 10 or maybe 15 gas instead of usual 5. Or instead of that editing the gas consumption of the actual engine it's self.

can i put farm on vehicle?

So editing one thing (gas consumption) means we may as well play creative mode? Going a bit far there don't ya think.

Im not going to far
It also defeats the purpose of playing survival.
If you are not fine with the balancing find a InGame way around but manipulating files to get the result is cheating. (broccoli was a complete different thing)

you do you

It does defeat the purpose of survival if you just go into the files and adjust something you do not like. Especially if you adjust numbers for a crucial part of the game and that is gas usage.

The developers did not stop you to build massive hulks of vehicles but they will use a ton of gas, so you will have a lot of oil gathering to do, which in the current state can indeed be a bit tedious. But so far with the machines I build they do what they need to do and they do not use a massive amount of gas so I do not need to gather as much oil to keep going.

And you know what that is called balance? So yes you can build a massive mobile base, but then you should also accept that it is going to cost you a lot of fuel instead of hitting up the gamefiles and change it so you can drive those things around without the setup drawback in survival. So yes changing the files for that is defeating the purpose of survival which is all about gathering resources and building efficient machines/contraptions to progress and help you.

I just hope that they will introduce automated oil gathering as well as automated chemical gathering, So we do not have to do it all by hand, just like we can automate water gathering and use machines to get stone/wood.

My dude he's just having fun. That's like saying "mods defeat the purpose of playing the game"

It's just the way he wants to play the game. If he wants less gas consumption because he wants to experement playing the game differently that's up to him. Not you. As long as people are having fun there's really nothing wrong with it. It's just a game
