One question, how i get cars (trucks, vans etc ..)?

[Jean Dias]

I get one car in the map, but they left after i came back to my colony.

Once you drive it into the colony you need to build a garage to repair it and use it again. You will need gas to repair it once the garage is built, and the garage will require electricity to power.

Word of advice: If you want to keep your vehicles available on the world map, do NOT "Return to Colony" or move onto the Colony site hex. Stop short of the Colony hex and have the Specialists exit the vehicle and have them walk in. Then whenever the next Specialist(s) exit the Colony, there will be a vehicle waiting for them.

The downside of doing ^this is that whenever a Specialist enters a vehicle, ALL resources the Specialist may have been carrying transfers to the vehicle. Which means that your Specialists won't be bringing their acquired resources back into the Colony.

And keep in mind that the ability to build the Garage is pretty far along on the tech tree. Taking the most direct path on the tech tree will cost you a _minimum_ of 2475 Science. That would be if you didn't research _anything_ else.
