Pacific Drive - Zen and the Art of Motorcar Maintenance

Having arrived back from the Zone more than half dead and with the car completely trashed it's time to put some serious effort into repairs and upgrades. I almost manage to not screw that up.

I know this is already pre-filmed, but if you have an issue deciding what to do and how/when to do it, maybe a notebook to help remind you or organise your thoughts? You wasted 2 cans of repair putty straight away, fixing panels you then replaced and scrapped! That's a loss of materials which you could have used for fixing the panels you were unable to replace, even more so as you got them for "free" from the exploding tourists, so they cost you nothing to make them. Maybe if you have visited the "friendly dumpster" before you fixed up the car, you might have got some more useful stuff? I don't know how it works as to whether it "knows" what you need, but if it does, visiting it first before doing anything else, seems a good plan to me. If your thoughts were more organised at the time, you wouldn't have scrapped a perfectly good tyre, leaving 2 crappy ones on the car. Obviously it's easy for us as viewers to point out mistakes or errors, as we're not playing.

Jingles, storage is common storage from which you can craft. So empty your transfer trunk when possible. Also, there's a vacuum in the garage that can suck things up. Just remember to empty its container (ahem.. totally not speaking from experience after x amount of hours). Fun to watch you finding your way and discovering things and finding things I missed myself as a result.

Good luck with the scan, hopefully, it will be something easy. Yes, some cancers are easier to treat than others.

Good luck with the newly repaired car.

[@NickBingham01]

If you wanna have some fun, try playing "Fetch" with abductors, if you light a flare and throw it through their vision cone, they will grab it and take it for a "ride" lol, sometimes this keeps them busy for awhile, had one basically just hauling a flare around until it went out. Also, the lightning rod is amazing when dealing with a lot of minutemen, makes 'em into pop-up battery chargers, and if you get yourself a "LIMpulse generator", and swap it for your rear bumper, activating it takes about a blip of battery, but it'll unhook bunnies and abductors instantly when used, and while it's active for a second or two, nothing can hook onto you.

[@TerribleHeresy]

I may have missed it if you did and other comments have mentioned it but please remember that you can interact with the friendly dumpster multiple times so it's best to do it repeatedly until it stops giving you anything. Also when deconstructing a lot of items you can let all the resources pile up then activate the vacuum cleaner to collect it all rather than doing it manually. It's the device in the room with the bench for improving yourself, right next to it.

[@roamsweethome4895]

Since you’re not a car guy, Jingles, I suggest you put the summer tire on the passenger rear corner as that’s typically the primary drive tire, (this is a rear drive car). As for the two front tires being summer tires, it was smart of you to put those there. Steering traction is always more important than acceleration when you’re on slick surfaces like grass and ice.

[@benziko1460]

[@nikaszekeval6850]

Jingles, when you scrapped the junker, did you get the tires as well? Summer and Off Road tires use a gear each, so that is more scrap metal, or in some cases an entire gear dropping. In addition you have the computer and radio on the rack by that junker. They regenerate as well and I think can drop a bit of steel. On the matter deconstructor, the status and health of the part plays a part in how much you get back from scrapping it. Also as you pointed out on delaying last episode? Really should have beelined for Off Road tires, and held off on that second side rack instead. Though you'd have to avoid making that one steel panel first, and only have enough scrap for two Off Road tires. Two other techs to look at early, the Matter Regenerator, now that you have better parts, and the Lim Pulse Emitter, which replaces a bumper, preferably the rear one. With it you can for a bit of power bounce bunnies and abductors. Also you missed painting the chassis when you painted up your car.

IMO it's a bit of a waste to use repair putty on crude parts in the garage since they're so cheap to replace and chemicals are hard to come by. It's better to hit up the dumpster and scrap pieces off of the wreck out back to make new crude parts, and save your chemicals. Especially when those parts are fragile/bald/etc.

[@handgranate2008]

Jingles you said the friendly dumpster knows what you need, so wouldnt it had been better when the car was missing some panels and doors to activate it then in hope to get some scrap metal out instead when it was nearly completly overhauled?
