ATV

From Subsistence Wiki

The ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) provides players with a fast means of transport to traverse the world. As well as providing a 20-slot onboard storage capacity.


It runs on Vehicle Fuel and has onboard Battery power which is required for engine ignition and headlights.


Driving Hud When mounting the vehicle, a driving hud will show top right, giving stats on speed, fuel, battery etc.


The vehicle is designed for travel, rather than combat.

So while it is possible to ram players/hunters/animals, this will ultimately build-up damage on the vehicle.As too will impacts with world geometry, so be mindful of your speed and routes. There are repair costs!

Interface

There are 3 interactable areas:

The engine (at the front), where the player can refuel and jump-start the battery.
The driving section (center).
The trunk, where players can access the onboard storage.

Operating Vehicle

Viewpoint

Players have the option of driving in either third (3rd) person or first (1st) person.


Toggle between the two viewpoints by using the "Cycle Camera" key while driving. The game will remember your choice, so you don't have to keep resetting it.

Manual transmission

File:Manual Transmition-icon.png

The ATV has a manual transmission, creating a more satisfying control mechanic and requires a higher skill ceiling for traversing terrain effectively and efficiently.


The gears can be shifted using the mouse wheel (or the key bound to "Next / Previous Weapon").

Battery & Headlights

The battery will slowly charge over-time based on the speed of the wheels spinning, so sitting idle with the engine running will not produce a charge. If the battery runs dead, you will not be able to fire-up the engine.


The headlights can be operated using the [ L ] key while driving (or the key bound to "Toggle Flashlight").

Player Impact

If there is a high-speed impact occurance, players can be thrown out of the vehicle in 'ragdoll' form. The player will stand back up after gathering themselves and regain control, but this could result in a dangerous situation so drive carefully!

Vehicle Access Permissions

Only applicable for co-op and dedicated servers.


The core ownership of a vehicle is traced back to the player who placed the BCU, which powered the VCB which constructed the vehicle.

  • Thus, any player who shares a base membership with that player will have access to drive the vehicle and access it's inventory and engine.
