Not only is this a violation of The Fun Pimps EULA, but it goes against my personal ideals of modding.

The Nomad...the ultimate explorer's vehicle. Forget the confines of a base, you can now roam the world and take everything with you. Equipped with a 5. 56mm auto targeting turret and plenty of space for workstations and other upgrades, you'll never need another vehicle again. It might drive like a boat on land, but man can it hold stuff. Equipped with 240 slots of storage out of the box and the ability to add more when needed, you'll never need a storage box again. Craft on the go with the ability to add workstations to the vehicle.

This mod requires EAC to be disabled. Any requests for an EAC compatible version will be ignored. ONLY for 7D2D V1. 3. No I will not make versions for older versions of the game. Requests will be ignored. Use on a new save only. Issues will arise if not.
