How to safely dismantle ATV and starting pod.

[zacharygray53]

I was wondering how to dismantle the ATV with the grinder without it blowing up and turning into an unsalvageable husk. On a side note I was wondering if we are able to dismantle the starting survival pod after we have a sufficient base going.

One of my questions, too.ty

I built an Emergency pod nearer to the area where I was setting up the camp, thought I could dismantle the starting POD now to get some resources back.... BUT NO LUCK, the pod does not get dismantled, maybe something DEV's should look into.

I am guessing you are not meant to demolish the starting pod. It is after all infinite oxygen supply with it's own infinite power for simple printer so you can always find shelter and try to bounce back from disaster.

K fine... but if I have built an exact same Emergency pod 400 meters away because I am closer to the water (Ice Deposit) I have the same Oxygen supply and simple printer (which in fact I see no difference from the Workshop Printer to the one in the pod) Sure I have to connect it to a Solar Panel & Battery to have power... and once my main base is up I take that pod down... it's not in the way any more.

the one you build can also be taken out by a storm... the starter pod can't thats the point its guarantee safe place no matter what

Бы ло бы неплохо если поставили бы запрет на выкидывание из инвентаря отбойного молотка и болгарки, так как легко можно представить ситуацию где вы по какой то причине их потеряли/выкинули и остались без ресурсов что бы напечатать новые.

I join the question of the safe dismantling of transport

[Vardis]

You can't.

[LukaszP]

you cant destroy vehicles. more explanation in pinned FAQ.
We'll probably add warning ingame so player wont be suprised by explosion

[zacharygray53]

So there is no way to scrap the dumpy starting ATV?

[Dallas]

I don't think there's a way to destroy or recycle tools either. i tried dropping my spare blowtorch into the recycle bin but it went everywhere but the bin.

But some of your instructions on the loading screen mention that newly built vehicles have better speed and ranged than used ones. Almost everyone reading this will understand this as a recommendation to replace the inital squad by a new one, and (in logical consequence) then scrapping the obsolete one

You absolutely can and should build a new ATV as soon as you can - and you can use a Small Circuit Board taken from the damaged one when building it (but that shouldn't be necessary and I recommend against it). However that doesn't mean scrapping the original ATV. Just park it up somewhere out of the way and forget about it, or leave it for emergencies.

It would be nice if we could connect the survial pod to the base somehow so that I don't have to keep leaving my base to go to the pod, every time I want to use the 3d printer I got to go to the pod to print stuff, and that is kinda hard. I want to connect it to a sleeping area with one room being bed living quarters with bed and the other room being bathroom with toliet and shower and the other room being the survial pod. However I don't have the connectors yet, so I can't do that as of now. it also be really good to be able to restock the pod with supplies that we may need to leave during a storm. the heavy roover could have a magnetic attachment that moves the pod to a new location or we should be able to fly it to a new location. I would like that pod connected to the living area of my base. It also be fun as a vehicle to transport you to different bases.

My original ATV died. Board is ok and it has a charge, but it won’t move. I literally had to build my base around it.
