The junk drone stops being a box of first-aid kits: every drone mod gets ranks H…S***, the machine gun and the stun weapon finally shoot, and the drone learns to think.
Mods 6
A new vehicle mod: a junk turret on the roof that shoots enemies around you by itself. One on a motorcycle, up to four on a truck.
Vehicle cargo mods scale with rank: shock absorbers give up to +20% carry capacity, the cargo bag up to 10 extra trunk rows. Bicycles haul an overload while you hold Shift.
Research points drop for doing things: kills, crafting, repairs, harvesting, trading, quests and healing — not only from loot and traders.
Underground ore veins in solid bright colours: iron red, lead and titanium blue, coal yellow — visible from afar.
The energy weapon in your hands recharges itself from the backpack when it runs dry: from a Portable Power Cell first, then a Small Battery.
