Description

Mojave Travel disables the game's conventional fast travel mechanic, and makes it so you must instead use a vehicle in order to initiate travel. The new system was designed to be as lightweight, usable, and compatible as possible. Your very own motorcycle (and it's ill-fated late owner) can be found in the abandoned gas station, in Primm.

Initiating travel is done by using the appropriate option from the motorcycle engine. Before you do so, it might be a good idea to check you have fuel first - you aint going anywhere on empty! After pressing the button, your pipboy map will be brought up, and you'll be prompted to select a destination. Simply select a destination as usual and away you go. After arriving at your destination, simply walk a few paces forward and your motorcycle will be beside you.

Fuel and Condition

Travelling will consume fuel and degrade your motorcycle, so you will need to periodically repair and refuel it. Both condition degradation and fuel use are proportional to the distance travelled. A motorcycle in poor condition will be less fuel efficient, so it's best to maintain your motorcycle whenever possible in order to reduce your fuel consumption.

To repair the motorcycle you have to use replacement parts. These are: Gas Tank, Handbrake, Conductor, Fission Battery, Scrap Metal, Scrap Electronics, Wonderglue, and Duct Tape (this information is all available in-game). Each part will improve condition by a different amount, and moreover, they each scale differently with repair skill. Try experimenting with the repair feature to find the most effective parts!

Refueling requires gasoline, which can be crafted at a campfire or found randomly in the wasteland - either as loot or for sale.

Item Storage

You can also store items in your motorcycle 'trunk' so that you can keep your excess items with you whilst travelling. (The trunk acts as a standard container; therefore, it has no weight limit. Implementing a weight limit would require some extraneous scripting, and I prefer to keep things simple, so please don't request this feature.)

Motorcycle Transponder

When crafted, the Motorcycle Transponder can be used to summon your motorcycle to the nearest discovered location, in exchange for caps. This counters a common problem I find with fas
