What the hell happened to gas stations?
Why the ♥♥♥♥ do I have to buy to fill a can or car at a gas station? The Island is completely empty besides player if you play multiplayer and I don't think that a puppet watches the CCTV just to ♥♥♥♥ me up if I fill my tanks without paying or do you want to tell me, that this Island, where the most modern transportational device is a pickup from 2010 has an electric lock which locks the gas station until I insert a credit card. Not to mention the prices. My tank is empty after 6 kilometers and I have to use 2 and a half big canister to fill the tank. One of them costs 300 DOLLARS WHICH MAKES ROUND ABOZ 750 DOLLARS FOR ONE GO WTH IS GOING ON WITH THOSE PRICES!

This game is still missing electronics for bases, real modular vehicels and so much more and they add this? At least let me disable this stupid unrealistic mechanic, please.

you can't disable silly things like that or traders. good luck finding a credit card at gas stations. they didn't even add ATM there!

You can disable fuel pricing in SP, or by Server admins I believe.

Set this in the Gasoline section

PricePerUnitMultiplier=0

As for fuel consumption, the setting in the serversettings.ini, that's not working for the new vehicles, and I agree its over the top atm.

You do realise that this is a newly added feature that I critizise, right? I don't critizise the fact that there is still stuff missing, I critizise that they're adding THIS in the first place. Human Ressources where used for programming a new Fuel and gas station system instead of base building or at least a better UI for SP settings or character creation.

This feature is higly unrealistic and with the new consumption way to unbalanced and I don't get why they even added it. That's totally different and you're response is inmature and pointless.

I think you can deactivate traders by deleting the safe-areas, but I agree, there should be more Options when generating a new Save so you can deactivate such things immediatly but maybe this is coming some day

Edit: I actually have the gold card already, the ATM system isn't that bad I think, it just needs balancing and you should get a card if you start, the problem is the stupidly low limit of transactions with every card, the classic one with 1000 per day which sometimes doesn't reset is stupid. I can't add money to the bank account and pay for gas at the same day and if find more money than 1000 I have to wait a ingame day

They do a lot of things that to us make no sense...
Make a big deal out of the Hell Rider update and then take them away...

Okay thank you for that Info I didn't find anything in the admin settings and assumed that you couldn't do anything about it like so often, I will totally change that.

Yeah the consumption is crazy and I can't find any cars, my old save got deleted and I spawned a Laika since I had like 5 cars, including the hellrider bike and the hellrider pickup back then and I at least wanted to have one in order to find another legit one but after 30+ hours looking I still haven't seen one, only doors and wheels...

Paying for gas with a card is unrealistic? Are you sure you want to take that stance?

Matey this is a completely abondoned, lonely Island with technology from 20 years ago. Yeah I want to take the stance that it's unrealistic, in a completely unliving environment, without anyone who cares, to be forced to pay for gas in a station which belongs to nobody, which is for most parts so empty, old and destroyed that I can't fill 1/4 of my cars tank. I love the realism in this game, but this is 0 % realistic and I can't see one point how this is realistic. The only possibility for a gas station which is locked without inserting an EC-card is an electrical lock on the pumps which is even in the real world, in a modern nation with good economique and technological progress, a rarity I saw one time.

Well the island is a property of a corporation who has seen fit to put printed money and traders on the island selling advanced small arms and vehicles. So it stands to reason the gas would cost money as well. I'm not sure where in the world you live but every single gas station i fill up at has an electronic pump. You do get that the game takes place in the future right? or maybe not.

Who's filling the gas tanks?
Cause I want to find that tanker!

It doesn't play in the future, at least I never even ones saw anything that suggested that, rather the contrary, old weapons and cars as well as overall technology.

The money and traders are NOT PUT THERE. This is a TV-Show about críminals and scum which didn't want to life in prison or anything and voluntiered for taking part in that show on an Island which had a terrible accident happening there, which is why there are those puppets and old abondoned military camps. No one fills anything there, they just throw you out of the plane and send the drone that records you or how do you think they suply the traders and gas stations, I never saw a military convoi with mechs and everything in order to refill a gas station which a prisoner could use to escape.

Secondly of course every gas station has an electronic pump but hardly any has an ELECTRONIC LOCK or do you have to insert your credit card right in the petrol pump and your bank account gets deducted in real time? I guess you probably use the petrol station and after that you go into the gas station and pay your gas at the clerk like it's standard in 90 % of the world.

Its a tv show with flying drones and mechs. Tech 1 actually has a fair bit more capability than a 2010 pickup (if you are referring to one of the old vehicles, idk)

Its easy that they could ad electronic locks to unmanned gas pumps.

Anyway, the reason iirc is to make cars harder to keep and maintain, cars are meant to be a luxury not a necessity. One problem that has been in the game from the start is vehicle hoarding. I'ts still an issue but devs are trying to make the car an item that is less attractive to use. With the new metabolism system, driving everywhere in the future might even begin to drop your stats like CON and STRENGTH, , well CON already does but slowly.

other things like the entry and exit animation gives more a chance to die now, to both waiting players at cargo drops or to puppets if not careful.

imo, cars should be louder too, to give away location. at the start of 0.8 they were too loud, but got nerfed to be near silent until you are very close to one coming towards you.

Lets go with underground piping. lol

But it would be cool in the future to have patrols of tech 1 npcs at night maybe with a big truck that is not player drivable, pull up in towns, roaming the map and you can kill and loot the dangerous npcs, and loot the truck like a container which could just have a whole bunch of random loot in it, as if their job is nightly planting the loot to keep the prisoners finding enough items to keep the show entertaining.

Probably too much work for a small immersion detail but one can hope. haha
