#madmole , any chance you can add supercorn as an item for sale at Rekt's ( he is the farming goodies dude I think). 

The reason being, supercorn is only found in 1 POI and I was out of luck in my 4kx4k maps a couple of times and buried supplies would't spit that seed even if I prayed for it. (No airdrops).

That said, being a late game seed which might be useful to make awesome stuff like glue or gas, it should be extremely expensive, like 5000 dukes expensive.

 
@madmole keep making changes and tweaking systems all the way till gold. Ill give my opinion on the game then. Ive trusted TFPs on purchase with the game and at 3k hours ive got my monies worth.

In a modern vehicle maybe.  We're post-apocalyptic here. There isn't any power steering. Brakes are going to be real work as well. This is something you cobbled together from spare parts. Go find an older car without disk brakes and power steering. Then drive it on regular roads.  Now go drive it on some rutty back country roads. I guarantee you will notice the difference, and you may also be sweating quite a bit when you're done.

It's only difficult at low speeds, which you won't spend much time at when you're the only guy on the road.

You won't be travelling at high speed over unmaintained roads unless you're a huge fan of replacing shock absorbers and drivetrains.

You also won't be traveling at low speeds, like I said. Have you ever driven without power steering? I have. If you're going 10, you're already going fast enough to not really need it.

In any survival situation you treat your vehicle with great care, taking no unnecessary risks.  Roads deteriorate quite quickly without a constant stream of vehicles going over them, you may be forced to drive slowly even in the middle of a city.

I can't remember ever having driven _with_ power steering.

Mallards. Like allot animals, they can get that way when they get used to not having anything threaten them. Also might be breeding season.

And that's why I pay no heed to Water Fowl. Crows and Ravens always get free fries from me though.

These roads are obviously pristine and until they show even the slightest hint otherwise (like Nitrogen) I'm going to assume ZDOT is well funded.

When I drive over rough terrain for any length of time it isn't my arms that get tired, regardless of power steering, it's my lower back and thighs.  That's where the stamina drain is.  It's from constantly changing gear and braking.

The roads in 7dtd are obviously an unfinished system so until told the terrain generator is finished I'm going to assume the intention is to make them reasonably realistic.

The terrain gen on the worlds you're playing on must be very generous to you. Allot of the roads outside of the towns on Navezgane and in the Random Gen worlds I've played have several sections very reminiscent of cooled Paoioi or old school cattle guards.
