Balang walker: Useful?

[ulzgoroth]

It seems like the Balang has trouble carrying enough stuff to be much use. Once I've got my Dinghy packed into it, it's almost at its weight limit already. Is there something actually desirable about bases that makes it important to have one? Is it justified by quality bonuses?

(I don't know what it takes to actually make a quality walker - I used a bunch of resources trying and got nothing for it.)

I've used 2 balang as my bases before and they were good. Usually didn't move them with a dingy inside, just used them as storage while the base was out. Try out the silur if you need more storage, it holds a lot more. Just fyi Quality doesnt do anything for balang's nor silurs, just other walkers. In other walkers, it lets you put more modules on them

How can you travel between tiles if you've got both a Balang used for resource storage only and a walker that you actually use? You can only drive one at a time, no?

[Irv]

Right, so you would probably have your balang in your "main tile" and use your main walker to go between the other tiles. Yes, you can only drive one at a time so if you want to move them both you can take one first and go back to the lobby with bottles/water bag carrying as much water as you can to go back (without your walker) to your previous tile and bring your second walker over. Or you can spawn at a sandbed or trade station

It seems like you can't put modules on a Balang. I could be wrong, but that's the impression I've gotten from trying.

you cant put any modules on a Base Walker

Such mad trolling. Balang has all those module slots but you can't use them.

my trick is 3x3 hut with center have 2 high roof to place smashers. then on top have walker holder that holds a spider. as a round a bout. but nothing is in it so even if some one breaks open spider holder they get nothing

Balang is not made to carry other walkers. You have silur for big base+other walkers.
Balang is used mostly in the first few days, and after that its used for spawn bases.
