Red fighter - player base questions (possible spoilers ahead)

[caverat749]

Restarted playing after a while, really missed it, managed to find the bunker that you can have for your own base, however i noticed that the technician always charges you and there's no way to bypass upgrades such as the mushroom (1k) or the 100 diesel bottles/ 5k rubles for the generator ?
Also how do i get more people to join the Red fighter - is this quest related or i have to run and beat slavers to rescue their captives? (edit: you can't atm you only get 3 people with quest giver)
also if you guys have any tips or advice for this section of the game

it ll cost u all in all around 20-25k.farm slavers and stuff and sell their armor and guns, u ll have that money in no time.

and the final upgrades worth the effort - i mean what are the perks of getting that base/ settlement all buffed up and populated?
selling gear is easier said then done in my playthroughs i can hardly find merchants that have cash to compensate for the expensive stuff and acutually gain currency not items, also even with 100 pickpocket & 92 sneak skills i can hardly get a succesful thefts on merchants and their guards or the soldiers in the big town

usally the armourer in OZM has enough cash if i want to sell items same for the Wepon Dealer there... and you are right i didnt made a succesful Theft in OZM by the traders or guards with a pickpocket Skill of 140

u ll get a bulletmaker, very important to make the 7.62 54er rounds. i got around 100k cash now and topgear after 2 months ingame time, lvl 12

[Genyosha]

usually u need to find the caravans with a truck, they always have more cash and stuff.

yes i know that, but those are randomized, i ran around in circles around the southern and south easten part of map near the big town, but i only managed to find a few with decent amount of cash and good items worth swapping

OZM????

People decided to call KrasnOZNamenny that way :D

And yeah, you can't skip paying Pasha for the improvements, unless you do things like cleaning out the basement or fixing stuff on your own. So either farm, or become a tech person. There's a whole lot of quests around the map too, so money is not that big of a deal :)

[caverat749]

yeah you guys made sure you can never get bored when exploring ;) plus the random traders can turn all the loot into cash easy ... if they have funds; only problem is finding out which quest is a dead end and which is finished

[bautzner]

I actually have this quest in my list. Unfortunately i cannot remember the location i was told to go. The quest only has "[Red Fighter]" in the name. Where can i find "my base"? Thx.

by "your base " , or you mean the bunker in the Red fighter village were you find one of your companions? - that's the first settlement, as you head up from the radio bunker or thug fortress you're talking about the slaver base in the mission - "end of the line" i don't know were that is either

[nottrusted]

"End of the Line" is lost in translation from russian to english.
There are two railcars on a deadend railtrack, north from the radio bunker.
Thats where the slaver assault takes place, if you have the quest running.

[caverat749]

ahhhh ok that makes sense i was keeping away from the radiated carts because the place was barren like abandoned cars locations

[Genyosha]

Caverat, the bulletmaker puts the bullets in the rightmost box, the one closest to the kitchenentrance.

for the caravans, yes it takes some time to find decent ones, but usually i make a good 20-30k a day, and later on money isnt an issue anymore, unless whats coming in the future might use lots of money, like experimental gear, a car or tank, boat whatsoever
