BrandonM Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Me and @AtomicGinger were having a chat the other night about some cool ideas for Badlands, and one of them stuck out quite a bit for me. Fueling the gas stations. We see a lot of people fueling up at gas stations, but we never see the fuel being replenished. The idea is to add an additional facet to the trucking job and fuel mechanics where a player drives a RON tanker to gas stations and fills them up. Basically the reverse of filling your car. If a trucker hasn't visited a gas station in a while, its reserves deplete and players will be unable to fill up at that gas station because there's no gas there. This will create supply and demand, which is rad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Johnson Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Pretty cool. I'm glad you brought this up because I have a couple ideas for the trucking job that I'm going to post. This could be expanded to make real deliveries to other locations, like markets, scuba kits, etc. The only question I have is, what if no one ever delivers? Do we have a gas crisis?

Anton Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) rise of the electric cars EDIT: which btw could be also connected to the wind-turbine repairs. noone repairs wind-turbines, no charging your electric car at gas stations EDIT 2: blackout in the city is something that came into my mind also. those mechanics need a real purpose too Edited February 27, 2018 by Muroko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicGinger Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 My suggestion would be to have a server wide fuel amount. At least first to test it out. The higher the supply of fuel the lower it'll pay out. The lower the supply the higher the payout. Maybe, if possible, having low grade and high grade fuel. High grade for super cars and low grade for other cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payne Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Cool idea, really like it, just worried that in the wee hours of the night all of the fuel in the city will be depleted and we will all be riding around on bicycles. It already happens with EMS and police, having nobody on late at night to scrape bodies off the floor. It would require alot of testing and alot of balancing, and would need a pretty good payout or we'll all be riding bicycles to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also encourage more players to buy a truck so they are capable of helping in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
