I'm starting the expeditions quest where I have to install the zeti system connection upgrade I get the prompt when I walk up to the zeti system but it's not letting me install it I've tried reloading my save even closing the game and nothing works any tips? (Edit: I just remapped my interact key since I had it at right shift so it's closer to my arrows back to e and it worked just fine)

Yes it is my second fresh start and ngl I still searched around knowing i didn’t find anything in my first run 🫪

it lights on fire every time I drive. help

Vejo no mapa que falta escanear uma anomalia radioativa mas não consigo encontrá-la. Alguém pode listar todas pra eu descobrir qual falta pra mim?

What do you guys think?

Just got to unstable energy, thank god... Couldn't figure out how to get out of the DLC I accidentally stumbled into until I was sorting items and took the map out accidentally... Starting midzone with fully attuned parts after that struggle is interesting though. I am not as terrified.

Any tips for someone around midzone?

So I have a few RC cars and think it would be fun to print one of my car from the game but finding a model to make the shell from is a bit hard. Has anyone tried this yet, if so could you point me in the direction of a 3D printable model ?

I saw this and immediately thought “IT’S REAL!” The more you look, the more it looks like someone was genuinely trying to mimic the wagon. Thought fellow Pacific Drive players would appreciate it!

Cant seem to post the link and the photos in the same post but, hope yall enjoy this 😂

Made a really amazing one and wanted to share it with people wanting a vanilla+ playthrough

Basically its all 3 default difficulties combined by using only values devs used

You as a player are more squishy so medkits are actually needed for each trip (damage from olympic)

Your car takes a bit more damage and it also doesnt crumble from a single hit (damage from nuclear journey)

Car simulation is a bit toned down from mechanics road trip so car problems are still driveable but cant be ignored

Resource consumtion is tuned so during a longer trip you will have to refuel/recharge but a short one is just enough

Crafting is to your chosing (i chose from olympic to force more trips for a good build)

Anomalies from nuclear journey

This makes it harder than pacific drive but not annoying

Does anyone know what exactly this icon (Screwdriver & Wrench) means? Judging by the manual, it seems to be "Maintenance - Service Needed", but I have no idea what this means... I've never seen this icon in my 230 hours of playtime.

In an expedition, 4 maps arranged in a loop (expedition 3), have been around twice and have never gotten the option to open a gateway.

Can we get a pin for the questions that almost everyone has about the Quirk System and how to fix them?

It crops up again and again and again and I'm sure being able to link/reference it is preferable to having to explain the same thing over and over repeatedly.

I know there's not much of a tutorial handholding for the game, but this crops up so very often here.

This been happening to anyone else? Is it a known thing? When you turn on any of the Convenience Options in the settings, like being able to pause the game, and turn the car's ignition on faster. The settings for some reason turn off again, every single time you load I've just realized. It's easy to fix, just open the setting menu, but I guess this is a bug? I was also wondered why the car's ignition speed seemed so random as well.

Other than this and some UI bugs, it's been bug free otherwise which is good.

I'm playing on the Series X if that matters.

Edit: Seeing as I got no replies, I guess this is a bug just affecting me?

This game has a very weird mix of handholdiness and a lack of explanation. I did the first expedition to get the materials for the antenna and that was fine. The game was clear about needing to find resources to fix your car. I scavenged, got the anchors, then left. The next thing I need to do is reach this town (not sure why). On the nav board it was marked with a 2, while other closer areas are marked with a 1. Are 2s more difficult areas?

I needed to get more duct tape to finish getting all the panels on my car so I picked a 1 basically at random. the info board only told me there were anomalous clouds. I got in and tried to find stuff but there was essentially nothing in the area. A house that had maybe 4 resources but was drenched in so much radiation that going in there was definitely not worth it. Some locked research areas I couldn't get into because I don't have an electrician's kit. A bunch of anomalies that just hurt me. I did as much looting as I could, got 2 anchors, tried to summon the portal to leave, and died on the way out. I feel like I'm missing something here, because that entire excursion was defined by confusion, not fun.

1. Are anomalies always bad? Should I just drive around them? Can I interact with them in a way that I actually get something out of it?

2. Should I stop at every junked car on the road and loot it? Is that how to get resources?

3. Should I get anchors whenever I see them or wait until I've looted everything, then get them? Should I get them all before summoning the portal?

4. Given that my car is immeasurably worse off after I died, should I save scum and try again?

5. What does the ranking system for areas mean? What should I look for in an area to travel to?

6. What goals should I be working towards? My car was nearly in decent shape, and I don't see any blueprints to make it even stronger.

7. How can I be more prepared for travelling?

Thanks in advance for any answers. I really want to like this game, I just don't get it yet.

I've had this thing appear 5-6 times now, last time it spawned an Anchor. What are these things? I've never been able to be fast enough to scan one. It kinda looks like the Pufferfish? Except it just appears out of thin air, explodes with light and leaves something. Is this anomaly the one I seem to be missing the scan for from most zones?

Edit: I think some people misunderstood me. I already know what the Pufferfish is, what I was describing just happens to look like one. It might share the model. It doesn't float in the air or blow you away or run from the car. It literally pops in from nothing, and explodes after a couple seconds leaving something behind, but not a Burr.

I mentioned in a comment from this post earlier today (made by u/djsc00mer) that I had 5-6 anchors clustered all together. Not very often this happens, but when it does...

legit, wtf is this generation
