Description:

This mod lets you start the game with a vehicle of your choice, using a new trait and the sandbox options.

Monkey’s Start Scenario – Base is recommended, but not strictly required, for the suitable spawn points and the additional profession & trait to help you take care of your vehicle. Pillow’s Random Spawns Variations – Knox County Hitchhikers works as well, but not every spawn point is outside. There is also my mod, Outside Spawn Points & Insertions, which is meant to work with this trait.

Mod Details
  • You need to spawn outside, otherwise the vehicle and key will not spawn (this is by design)
  • The vehicle will spawn somewhere next to your character (randomly in a circle of 24 positions)
  • It always spawns with a full tank of gas and in a good working state (unless you set the general condition of vehicles to be quite low)
  • Multiplayer: the vehicle key will spawn at your feet instead of your inventory (the server and client are picky brats)
  • You can look at this discussion for a list of vehicle types you can spawn.

Compatibility
  • Compatible with any mod that does not interfere with spawning the vehicle
  • Multiplayer compatible (tested on locally hosted server)
  • Not save-game compatible (requires a new game, every time)
