Wire brush

A wooden handle fitted with coarse metal bristles.

The wire brush can be used to remove rust from car parts and wheels, improving their cosmetic appearance. The brush can take a part from entirely rusty to a rough paint finish.

Further cleaning needs to be carried out with polish or a sponge.

Repeated use of the brush will wear away its bristles until it becomes useless.

Care should be taken as using the wire brush on tires or the Trabant 601's body panels will worsen their condition.

The wire brush can be carried in the player's inventory.

See also body restoration.

### Using the wire brush.

Pick up the brush then equip it using the TAB key. Then simply aim at the desired body part, click the left mouse button and move the brush around.

After some rubbing the appearance of the part will improve.
Skeleton

## Description

Skeletons are objects that can be found in the basement and the graves at the haunted mansion.

They have ragdoll physics and can be dragged about by the player, although physics locking them in a basket or car can cause glitches.

The skeleton seems to serve no purpose other than cosmetically.

### Tips

Although skeletons do not have a big purpose, they can sometimes be used to block or rarely kill zombies.
Power Pole

The power pole is a prop used to carry electrical wires that transmit power.

Power poles appear every 100 metres by the side of the road. They always appear on the right hand side of the road as the player travels away from home and can therefore be used to reorient yourself in the event of spinning off the road.

They cannot be damaged or knocked over, crashing into one at high speed can cause damage to a vehicle and death.

Each power pole has a light at its top which illuminates between 1915 hours and 0325 hours.

Power poles were given electrical lines in the anniversary update. However, these are not a cosmetic feature.
Machine Gun

The machine gun, correctly the VZ-58, is a rapid fire automatic firearm that could be used to decimate hordes of enemies.

## Description

The machine gun is by far the fastest firing weapon in the game, and is much more powerful than the rifle or the revolver. It can hold 30 rounds per magazine while also capable of being held in the player's inventory.

Machine guns can be found in various buildings, more common in buildings such as bunkers, gas stations, or even garages. it cannot be found in the player's starting house.

The machine gun can be used as a defence against bunnies or zombies. It will kill a bunny or a zombie with a single shot to the head.

The VZ-58 will also damage barrels, jerry cans, and oil cans, causing them to leak their contents. Soda siphons, containers full of explosive fluids, and gas cylinders will explode when shot. If the player is close enough to an exploding container they will be killed. If you shoot yourself with any weapon then you will die.

They make the crosshair red, opposed to the rifle's green or the revolver's yellow.

## Ammo and Usage

Ammunition for the machine gun may be found at points of interest in magazines containing up to 30 bullets. The magazines are about as common as revolver ammo boxes. These ammos cannot be use on any other gun.

Press LMB to fire, and E to unload. In order to reload the magazine, press R. Note that you can spam fire if you continuously hold LMB until the VZ-58 runs out of ammo.

## Strategy

Since the machine gun is more rare than the rifle or the revolver, it is best to save the ammunition whenever you find it.

Since the machine gun is so powerful, you can easily wipe out hordes of bunnies and zombies. Do mind that it burns through it's ammo and can cause you to run dry if used frivolously.

It is not recommended to use your machine gun for everything, as ammo is hard to come by.

## Trivia

* Although commonly referred to as an AK-47 by 'special' individuals, this weapon is actually the Czech VZ-58.
* They are the most powerful, but rarest weapon in the game.

Bun

The bun is a food item.

## Description

Upon consumption, they restore a small portion of your hunger bar. Buns can be consumed three times before fully being eaten. They can be equipped in the player's inventory.

Buns can primarily be found in several buildings, as well as fridges.

## Strategy

Since buns are pretty small compared to the other food items in the game, you should only use buns when you find them, and should not actively search for them.

You should never put it in your inventory, as it just wastes a slot and is not worth it to put it there.

Use a similar strategy to the cookie.

## Facts

* They are the third smallest food item in the game, behind the cookie and the poop
* They may represent a Hungarian bread roll
Car parts

Each car is made up of a number of components which can freely be removed and installed at any time.

These are:

* Doors and lids to the various compartments across all vehicles.
* Rear seat (removable in the van variant of the Barkas, station wagon variants of the VAZ-2101, Trabant 601 and Wartburg only)
* Mirrors (2 X door, 1 interior)
* Bumpers
* Wheels and tires
* Hubcaps
* Headlights
* Front grille/headlight bracket (only removable on the Wartburg, Barkas, Dacia and VW Golf/Caddy)
* Engine
* Radiator (not present on the Trabant 601, VW Beetle, Ebatta (Moped) and Pannonia)
* Sun visors
* Gauges
* Radio
* Glove compartment lid
* License plates
* Fuel tanks (on some vehicles like the IFA and the car carrier variant of the Barkas)

Any of these parts may become detached from a car in the event of a collision.

All other parts are permanently attached to the car body.

The appearance of body parts can be improved using a wire brush, sponge and polish (see body restoration).

To a certain extent parts may be swapped between different models of car but may not fit well.

Front and rear doors are not interchangeable.
Rifle

The rifle is an air powered weapon, primarily used as a firearm.

## Description

The rifle can be used as a weapon. It can have only one pellet per round, making it not very reliable when fighting against large groups of rabbits. In addition, they are also the weakest gun in the game, not being able to instantly kill zombies. Rifles use shots as ammo. The rifle can be equipped in the player's inventory.

Rifles can be found in the player's house, as well as several bigger and smaller buildings. In the house, they can be found on the table in the garage, just above the fuels. They are not always equipped with ammo when found, and are often rusty.

For the rifle itself, they can be used against bunnies, and can instantly kill them regardless of where they shoot them. It takes 3-4 shots to kill zombies if they are body shots, but can kill them in only 2 pellets if aiming for the head. You could also kill yourself if you shoot yourself with the rifle. If that happens, blood will come out.

Rifle shots can be used to load the ammo, one pellet per time. It has a total of 200 bullets, which means that each shot can give a rifle a maximum of 200 pellets. This could be handy, as often rifles do not spawn with any ammo at all. They also fire relatively slowly.

Rusted rifles can easily be clean if you use either sponges, polish, or wired brushes. Rustiness does not affect the performance of the rifle, just the aesthetic of it, though. Just like car parts, the rifle may be found in varying conditions (xxfinebeanzxx here, from what I've seen the condition of the rifle does effect performance but maybe that's just me) (see body restoration).

To use the rifle, the player must be holding some shot in their inventory.

The rifle's crosshair is green, unlike the revolver's yellow or the machine gun's red crosshair.

## Usage

While holding the rifle, press the Tab key to equip it.

Press and hold the 'R' key and pull your mouse down to break the barrel.

Release 'R' and tap it again to load shot into the rifle.

Press and hold 'R' again and push your mouse up to close the barrel.

The rifle can now be fired with the left mouse button.

To use the rifle, the player must be holding some shot in their inventory.

## Strategy

Rifles are useful as a beginner gun, but if you encounter another gun, you should probably ditch the rifle, even if it has no ammo.

Since rifles deal low damage, you should not count on it to save your life in buildings like mansions, as you could easily be swarmed, without doing much damage to the zombies.

Rifles shots can only be used on rifles, and not on any other guns.

## Trivia

* The developer refers to it as a BB gun (because it is)
* The ammo it fires are actually pellets, which explains it's low damage
* Rifles were the first gun added to the game

Tips

BB gun is useful: take the BB gun and its ammo on your slots, then use it shoot many crates. If you are lucky, you will get a lot of ammo, like 5 boxes of revolver, 4 boxes of short gun.
Towing Hook

A metal hook presumably used for attaching cars together for towing. This item is nonfunctional, it can be picked up and attached to one car, but not two at once, rendering it useless as the metal bar already does that.

Does not spawn naturally, can only be obtained using game modifications or the development menu.
Seed

The seed is the random number used to generate your world. It does not impact spawns of items such as containers, car parts, and other things; or spawning of vehicles. A seed will, however, impact terrain shape, buildings, and other things like rocks and cacti.

You should search for seeds with a high amount of large gas stations if you want to find cars, or, garages if you need items.

Some users find unusual, interesting, or useful seeds. If you are one of them, you can leave them in the comments or in separate discussions..
Bed

Beds are sleeping platform usually found in buildings around the desert.

Beds can be stacked in order to climb buildings, but do be aware that if the bed falls directly on you, then it could crush you to death. They could also be used to block up entrances or barricade doorways.

Beds can be found in several buildings, most notably the old house and bunker. They can also be found in the starting house near the back. Multiple amount of beds can be found per building.

It is possible to sleep in beds, by sitting down and pressing V. It is not possible to lie down though.
Gasoline

Fuel used by the majority of the vehicles in The Long drive.

Gasoline maybe be found in jerry cans, oil cans, barrels and vehicles around the desert.

The Škoda 100, Dacia 1300, Lada 2105, VAZ-2101, VW Beetle, VW Golf and Plymouth all run on pure gasoline but can tolerate some impurities such as oil, water and alcohol and still be able to function. As the overall percentage of gasoline in vehicle's tank decreases, so does the vehicle's performance.

The Trabant 601, Barkas, and Wartburg runs on two stroke fuel - a mixture of approximately 97% gasoline and 3% oil. Again the car may function with a higher ratio of oil and with some impurities in the fuel but with a potential for loss of performance.

A container filled with gasoline will explode if shot with a firearm.

### Sourcing gasoline

Gasoline can be found in small quantities at most points of interest. It is helpful to check all the containers found in a location - an oil can may contain gasoline, not oil, for example.

Cargo ships are an excellent source of large quantities of gasoline.

Although buses run on diesel fuel, they may be found with - sometimes very large quantities - of gasoline in their tanks.

Various vehicles found around the desert may have gasoline in their tanks which can be decanted into another container using a siphon hose. It is important to check first that vehicle actually has gasoline in its tank and not another liquid.
Mailbox

The mailbox is the mailbox outside the Starter House.

## Description

The mailbox contains a postcard from Mom. It can be accessed by opening the lowest compartment decorated with a Trumpet. The letter reads "Please visit me! Love, Mom."

At the bottom, "Gaming Kanalis Youtube Channel" can be read.

The remainder of the text is in Hungarian, and outlines "326/2011. (XII. 28.) Government decree" regarding road traffic administration tasks, issuing and revoking road traffic documents.
Trophies

Trophies are items with no use, found in the attic at the starter house. There are currently two unique Trophies.

This Trophy was added into the game to commemorate the first person to reach the end of the road, HoerFuchS.

This Trophy was added into the game to recognize the accomplishment of stacking 3 Barkas car carriers on top of each other, accomplished by Stark Panzer.
Ramp

The ramp is a structure that can be found in the game.

## Description

It can be used to let your vehicle soar through the air, if you have enough speed. If your car is too front heavy, you may just dive into the ground after takeoff. Going to fast could cause death if you hit the ground occasionally.

The ramp can be found right next to buildings, particularly the old house and small house, more commonly the small house. They cannot be found in any other building.

Ramps are considered buildings, since they cannot be moved nor can they be picked up or destroyed.

## Strategy

You could use the ramp for sick stunts, or to have a major increase in your speed. Do be wary though that, like I said, going to fast could be fatal.

These structures are not usually very important, and it may be safer to just ignore them completely. However, you could still try to run them.

## Facts

* They are the only way to do stunt jumps without the sled.
* Them being a building is debated, as they do not have an interior or any items, and they spawn with other buildings
Ebatta

The Ebatta, aka Babetta is a small, two-stroke powered, mid engined, rear wheel drive, air cooled moped.

## Moped

### Transmission

2 speed manual with no Reverse or Neutral

### Power

Power: 2.78hp @ 5396rpmTorque: 3.75nm @ 3969rpm

### Seats

1

As with all two stroke vehicles in the game, the Ebatta uses a fuel mixture of 95% petrol to 5% oil. The optimum oil range for two-stroke engines is between 3-7%, however it is best to use 5% as it is directly in the middle of the range, so performance will not be affected if you add too much oil or too much petrol.

The ebatta is the slowest vehicle in the game in terms of acceleration and top speed of 60 km/h, making it pretty useless.

## Info

* If you have no engine or no fuel, the moped can be pedaled by repeatedly tapping or holding [W] and/or holding [Shift] key achieving a speed of almost 20km/h
* To drive the moped first set it upright by picking it up and using the middle mouse button to rotate it, then sitting on the moped by pressing [E] on the seat, [I] to switch on the ignition, [Space] to lift the kick stand, and hold [Shift+W]. If you don't hear an engine sound make sure you have 95% gasoline and 5% oil in the fuel tank and that you turned the ignition on, and not off.
* Other car engines can be installed on the Ebatta, but water-cooled ones will overheat. Trabant and Beetle engines won't overheat but have a lower top speed.
* The Ebatta's headlight will fit in square headlight sockets on the VAZ 2105 and some Dacia variants.
* The Ebatta has no transmission which adds to its slow speed

## Trivia

* It is based on the 70s Czechoslovak Babetta 207.
* Below the logo on the gas tank, It reads "Information: If it is not willing to start, you can use it as a coaster or a cup holder!"

## Car Parts

* Engine
* Wheels
* Mirrors
* Carrying basket (can't be painted)
* Speedometer
* Headlight
Body restoration

Metal bodied cars and their body panels may be found in five different conditions.

* Fully rusted. No body colour, pure rust.
* Slightly rusted. Less visible rust, no body colour.
* Rough. Body colour is visible but paint has a very rough texture
* Dull. In reasonable condition but not shiny.
* Shiny. Nearest to new condition.

Body parts in poor condition appear to be more likely to fall off the car in the event of a crash.

Cars and body panels can be restored using the wire brush, polish and sponge.

* Several strokes with a wire brush will change condition from fully rusted to crusty.
* Several strokes with a wire brush will change condition from crusty to rough.
* Four squirts of polish or rubbing with a sponge will change condition from rough to dull.
* Four squirts of polish or rubbing with a sponge will change condition from dull to shiny.A fully rusted trunk lid.A slightly rusty trunk lid.A rough trunk lid.A dull trunk lid.A shiny trunk lid.All rust stages on VW Beetle

Wheels, hubcaps, mirrors and all purely metal objects can be restored in a similar way, with the wire brush removing rust and a sponge or polish restoring shine. Notably, the restoration process of these items is slightly different than that of cars and body panels, as detailed below. The tankers and trailers of the corresponding IFA W50 variants are considered to be part of the vehicle itself, and are restored in the same manner and in conjunction with the vehicle. Tires should be removed from wheels before using a wire brush as the brush will worsen the condition of the rubber tire.

* Several strokes with a wire brush will change condition from fully rusted to partially rusted.
* Several strokes with a wire brush will change condition from partially rusted to crusty.
* Several strokes with a wire brush will change condition from crusty to dull.
* Four squirts of polish or rubbing with a sponge will change condition from dull to shiny.

A fully rusted wheel.After first use of wire brush.After second use of wire brush.After third use of wire brush.Brought to a high shine with polish.
Tires can be restored with the use of polish. Like body panels, tires come in five states of repair. Four squirts of polish will restore a tire by one level. Using wire brush on tires will worsen their condition.

The Trabant's body panels are not made of metal and do not rust. They can be restored with just a sponge or polish. If a wire brush is used on Trabant body panels, it will worsen their condition and they will need to be restored with a sponge or polish.

Sun Visors may be restored with a sponge or polish, as well as some passenger seats for vehicles, such as those found in the minibus version of the Barkas.
Plank

A long, heavy wooden board found in the roof space of the player's home, in some gas stations and in garages.

Planks can be picked up and moved but care should be taken as it is possible for the player to be crushed to death by them.

Oil cans and other useful items are often hidden above the planks found in the roof space of large gas stations.

Planks may be used as a means of accessing high places or ramping a car into a flatbed.
Sleep

The player is able to sleep, effectively skipping ahead in time. This may be useful for example to sleep through the night in order to avoid driving or performing other tasks in darkness.

Sleeping is activated by holding down the V key for a few seconds. This brings the text 'Falling Asleep' up on screen along with a progress bar. When the bar fills the player falls asleep and approximately eight in game hours elapse until they automatically wake up. Releasing the V key before the bar fills will stop the player going to sleep. After the bar fills the sleep cannot be cancelled.

Sleeping fills the player's sleep bar and they cannot sleep again until the bar is fully depleted. Attempting to do so brings up the text 'Can't Sleep Yet' and a visualisation of how full their sleep bar currently is. It takes approximately 13 minutes/13 in game hours for the sleep bar to deplete after waking up.

Sleeping cannot be activated in external Camera mode. Attempting to do so will bring up the same 'Can't Sleep Yet' message, even if the sleep bar is fully depleted.
Cross

The cross is a tall structure, likely a grave marker.

## Description

No items spawn near it, and it seems to serve no purpose. However, it has been theorized that this cross is either the grave of mom or the anonymous victim of chatting till death as mentioned in CTYD. It is not destructible, meaning it will be a bad day if you slam into this, same as any tree, rock or static structure.

This structure usually spawns further away from the road, though there have been a few instances where people found the cross spawn right next to the road.

The cross serves no real functional purpose.

## Lore

As said before, it has been theorized whether it has been Mom or the guy. However, it is more likely to be the guy who chatted till he died. Though this is all speculation due to the lack of markings.

## Strategy

Since no items spawn near it, it's best to just ignore this structure.

Make sure not to hit it at high speeds, as it could easily destroy you and your vehicle.
Metal bar

A length of hollow, square section steel.

The metal bar can be attached to any surface providing a way to secure cargo in transit among other uses. They may also be attached to other metal bars, or, have other items (such as a Severed arm) attached to them.

They may be found in a rusty condition but can be restored using a wire brush and polish.

With patience and imagination, steel bars can be used to build elaborate structures.

Metal bars as well as most other attachable objects can be used to conduct electricity. Try attaching a metal bar to a car's bumper and then attach a basket with some headlights in it to the bar. The lights in the basket should turn on when you switch on the car's headlights.
Cactus

The cactus is a large plant found spawning all over the desert.

## Description

Cacti can mainly be found in the desert biome, however, they can be found in all biomes in the game. They can grow virtually anywhere, including inside buildings.

Cacti can be destroyed using weapons or hitting it with your vehicle, where it will collapse. Hitting cacti with your vehicle is most often not fatal, but could damage the front side a bit.

The broken pieces of cactus contain a small amount of water which can be consumed or poured into a container. You could use this in case you are low on liquid.

## Strategy

If you run low on water, then it is best to destroy a cactus, as they can contain water for your coolant tank.

It is not recommended to hit a cacti if you do not have to. If you do, then it is very unlikely you will die, but it could damage your vehicle.

## Facts

* During the Winter Update, Cacti was replaced with snowmen

**Tips**

Cactus allows you to not need to carry a water jerrycan, you can pick up 1 shard and squeeze the water into the cooler. You don't need weapons to get them, running towards them will get 6 shards.
Cigarettes

Small packages containing up to 20 cigarettes. They come in a variety of designs. Smoking will increase hunger and thirst.

The pack can be carried in the player's inventory, however after a cigarette has been removed from the pack it cannot be carried in the inventory.

Grey particles will fall in front of the first person camera while smoking.

To smoke them hold the pack and press [E] to remove one from the pack then hold [LMB] to smoke it or [Tab] to equip it. When it is equipped you can smoke it with [Caps Lock].

Cigarettes will stay ignited even when unequipped, decreasing in length while leaving a smoke trail and a dim orange glow.

A full pack of cigarettes will spawn in the glove compartment of the starter car and around the starter home.

By pressing "x" you can remove the cigarette from your mouth.
Mud Flats

The mud flats are a transitional biome of a long and sprawling sea of nothing but flat, brown mud.

## Description

Occasionally, mud flats biome can be generated while transitioning between grasslands and desert biomes. Despite this, they are very different from both of them, having a brown, mud-like texture to the surface of them. It is, for the most part, a very barren biome.

Mud flats have little to no vegetation. There are not cacti, and is normally quite flat meaning that you can see what is at the horizon for miles ahead of you. However, mud flats may still have patches of grass, boulders and rocks. Rabbits can still spawn here.

Mud flats are probably the most boring biome in the entire game, and are pretty much the opposite of the pink sands. There is not to admire about them, and it is best to leave when you have the chance.

Temperatures are 25 degrees at day and -10 degrees at night.

## Strategy

As mentioned previously, the mud flats are very boring biomes, and it is pretty uneventful there. There is not much purpose of staying here.

The ground is a similar shade of brown to the rocks, so if you are not paying attention, it could be easier for you to hit a rock. Try to stay on the road the best you can.
Siphon Hose

The siphon hose is a short length of tubing.

## Description

The siphon hose allows the player to fuel your vehicle by draining the contents of the fuel in another vehicle by attaching it to the pump or gas tank. It can siphon all fuels in the game, even ones that are not meant to be fuels, like blood or alcohol. It can be held and equipped in the player's inventory.

Siphon hoses can be found in various buildings, more commonly bunkers, gas stations, and even garages, although can be found in a few other buildings as well. A siphon hose can also be found in the attic in the player's house, although can be reached from the garage.

The hose obeys the laws of gravity - liquid will flow from the higher container to the lower - so to drain a car's fuel tank into a jerry can, the can must be held lower than the fuel tank. Care needs to be taken with the hose as its elasticity can cause it to catapult jerry cans some considerable distance. Care should also be taken when transporting the siphon, it is recommended to keep it in your inventory.

The hose can also be use to drain unwanted liquids from a fuel tank without another container. After inserting the hose into the fuel tank, pick up the loose end (a 'drain' prompt appears) and hold the left mouse button. The tank's contents will drain away into the ground.

## Strategy

It is important to use siphon hoses to drain out unwanted fuels or to acquire fuels from other vehicles if you do not have any containers. However, it is often better to use containers such as jerry cans or gas tanks in order to siphon fuel.

It is not to be confused with a snake.

## Facts

* While equipped in the player's inventory, the siphon hose says, "not a snake"
* It is one of the few items to fully obey physics in the game

**Fury**

It's an unholy, cursed, evil, keep twitching, madness item. It's Newton's great disgrace. It whips cars like Kraken and kicks jerrycan fly high.

Even if you just hook this tube to your Volkswagen Golf, it will fly away on its own. What can I call it? Exploding spring?

**It is the worst miracle of physics. its infamy will become an immortal legend.**
Paint can

A pressurized canister of liquid paint used to change the colour of vehicles, outside vehicle panels like doors and hoods, poop, and rabbits.

The colour of the paint inside is indicated on the can by the ring around the base of the neck and a rectangle on the side in the designated colour.

Each can holds 100 units of paint. These are counted down while painting until the can is empty.

Painting a rusty or dull car panel will change its colour but not its condition. For best results the car should be cleaned with a wire brush, sponge or polish before painting.

Paint cans can be carried in the player's inventory.

### Using a paint can

Pick up the paint can and equip it by pressing [TAB]. Simply aim at the object to be painted and press [LMB]. The can needs to be used for several seconds to achieve a full colour change.

It generally takes about 50 units of paint to achieve full coverage of a panel. Repeatedly tapping, rather than holding the mouse button will achieve full paint coverage using fewer units of paint.

An empty paint can can be refilled by aiming at a full can and repeatedly hitting [R] to reload it. The can in the player's hand will retain the colour indicated on it no matter what it was refilled with.
Old bus

Old bus is a beta model of the Ikarus 280. This vehicle does not spawn naturally though it can be spawned with the Developer menu.

when you spawn it with the Developer menu you have only yellow screen and only way to see this model is free camera mode [F4].

It does not have bumpers, the doors are locked in place and there is no floor.
Glove compartment lid

A glove compartment lid is a piece present on all vehicles except the Trabant and the buses.

If the player happens upon a car that has a lid in better condition than their own, they may exchange the parts to improve the appearance of their own vehicle.

The appearance of body parts may be improved using a wire brush, sponge and polish.

As with all swappable pieces, the glove compartment lid will fit as expected on the intended vehicle, but not necessarily on all vehicles.
First Build Car

The First Build Car is, you guessed it, the "first" car in game. It's an old version of the Škoda 100.

The car has no interior, except for a "Dashboard", steering wheel, and rearview mirror.

The "Dashboard" is a flat surface, with values displayed, such as input values, speed, and controls.

For some reason, it only has a sideview mirror on the left side of the car, not the right side.

The body style of the car resembles an early development version of the Škoda 100, found in the finished version of the game.

This car still exists in the latest version of the game, hidden in the game's files (you can spawn it using Developer Menu). The car is no longer drivable when spawned (using modifications) in versions of the game since first release, as the car script used on it is now outdated, but there are new things, like openable doors and speedometer.

It is manual only, having 4 gears.

It does not seem to require any maintenance, such as adding fuel, oil, or coolant.

It could be seen in the "April Fools" version that is accessible using the Steam Betas Tab.

## In First Build

Two Stroke Fuel

Used by the Trabant 601, Ebatta, Pannonia, Barkas and Wartburg, two stroke fuel combines a vehicle's fuel and lubricant. Both are added directly to the engine.

To make it, mix 95% Gasoline and 5% Oil. The two-stroke engines will work anywhere from 3%-58% Oil, but will suffer power loss from incorrect mixtures. You can go up to 7% oil without much humanly-noticeable performance loss.

When driving a vehicle which uses two stroke fuel, it is wise to carry some oil with you at all times. If a source of pure gasoline is located oil can then be added to achieve the correct fuel ratio.

With the Trabant's 24 litre fuel tank a full 3 litre oil can is enough to mix four entire tanks of two-stroke.

## More details

The game's code is designed for the best performance of all two-stroke engines to be when there is exactly 3% oil in the fuel, no more and no less. However, it is likely humanly impossible to mix exactly 3% of oil into a fuel tank, especially if more pure fuel is added afterwards, and as the performance impact from small amounts of oil less than 3% is much greater than that above 3% due to the much smaller margin of continued functionality, using 5% oil in the fuel is a way to ensure consistent performance rather than risking a noticeably lower performance due to accidentally only adding something like 2.8% oil rather than 3.0, which will be displayed as 3% of oil but will have a detrimental effect on performance. The 3-7% oil range is therefore the best range of performance, with barely any noticeable changes in power throughout the range.
Engine

A machine designed to convert a source of stored energy into mechanical energy.

There are currently fourteen engines in the game:

VAZ-2101, Lada 2105, Dacia 1300, Škoda 100, VW golf/caddy, Plymouth, IFA and Ikarus engines have an oil filler cap on the top and an oil drain plug on the underside. (Ikarus engines and IFA engines have 2 fill plugs, both will work)

The two-stroke engines in the Trabant 601, Ebatta, Barkas, Wartburg, and Pannonia use a gasoline and oil (precisely 97% gas and 3% oil) mix added directly to the fuel tank.

Generally, the fuel consumption of an engine can be determined by the displacement (Litres) metric in the table above. The higher the displacement, the more fuel it will consume (usually).

Engines may be swapped between vehicles, with no limitations whether which engine can be put into a certain vehicle.

Bridge Building

The bridge building is an imposing structure consisting of multiple floors.

## Description

Bridge buildings consist of a four story tower and a smaller two story building linked by a bridge which usually spans the road. On top of the tower is a tall radio transmitter which can be climbed.

There is a possibility (28% chance) that a bus will spawn under, or even on top of the bridge. Trucks will also often spawn at bridge buildings.

Bridge buildings usually offer little in the way of useful items to be scavenged but do have a tap providing access to a large quantity of water. Bridge buildings can occasional have some useful items such as fuel, but its items are usually does decorational. There can be items on the roofs of both buildings and the bridge, which can be accessed from the window of the taller tower.

Bridge buildings usually spawn spanning a small section of the road, but rarely, they can spawn off the road. Bridge buildings may be found in all biomes in the game.

## Strategy

Although bridge buildings usually do not contain that much items, you can still use them to acquire useful vehicles such as buses and trucks. However, do note that bridge buildings do not always spawn with buses or trucks.

Bridge buildings do not usually contain very useful items, but you can occasionally find fuel in the building itself or on top of the radio transmitter.

## Facts

* Bridge buildings are the most common, and one of the only ways to get buses in the game
* They are the largest building to probably spawn near the road.
* A door can be opened in the building which leads to nowhere, why this was created is unknown
Small Gas Stations

## Description

Small gas stations are a type of gas station and a building you can find throughout the game.

Small gas stations are the most common type of gas station. They have 1 to 2 gas pumps outside, although these do not work. On the pumps you can see a picture of gaming kanalis, what is presumed to be the developer's channel. They also have a tiny building inside, which can contain several important items. You can also occasionally find a well outside and an outhouse as well.

Small gas stations have a lot of useful items that you can use. For example, they can have gas, jerry cans, oil, water, and even car parts. There are also crates and decoration items inside, as well as a chance for a siphon hose to spawn in one of the gas pumps outside. However, zombies also have a small chance to spawn here as well.

These gas stations can spawn virtually anywhere, including all biomes, and as a result could be very useful when searching for fuel or car parts. They spawn commonly to the side of the road, although they can also generate away from it as well.

## Strategy

Since small gas stations are one of the most common buildings in the game, you should definitely take advantage of their fuel by stocking up whenever you see one, since it is very easy to run out of fuel.

You should also mind zombies, as they can sometimes spawn in these buildings, although there is never more than one, due to how small the building is. Even then, you should be prepared to fight it off with a weapon if need be.

Rabbits can also spawn near this building, so it is also important to check its surroundings to watch out for them.
Magic Lantern

A very old looking golden lamp, most likely a reference to the story of Aladdin.

Rubbing the lantern (holding Alt and moving the mouse for a decent period) will cause its appearance to change from gold metal to stained glass, making the lamp glow for a limited period of time.

The lantern will continue to glow even when held in the player's inventory, making exploration of dark locations easier.

The lantern can sometimes spawn with a purple texture rather than the regular shiny gold texture.

\*\*\*Its real use: when you can't sleep at PM 8:00 , rub the Magic Lantern and then you can.

Hook

The hook is a rare item that can only be found through commands.

## Description

The hook cannot be found anywhere in the long drive naturally, and can only be created through the developer menu.

It can be hooked on to vehicles and other objects, but other than that it seems to serve no other functional purpose.

## Facts

* It is one of the only items in the game that can only be created through the developer menu
Broom

The Broom is a vehicle that the player can sit down on and ride it in a similar fashion a witch would.

Wheeeee!

## Usage

To be able to fly with it, look at the broom and sit on it with [E], grab it with [F] once you are on it. Then look around in the directions you want to go, and you will go there. You will not be able to ride it as one usually pictures—with the end of the broom pointed in the direction you want to go—but instead perpendicularly to that, where the player has to look down at where their hands are grabbing the broom to go in a straight line, making the end of the broom stick straight up.

Scrolling the mouse wheel out will cause the broom to fly faster, however scrolling too much will cause the player to let go of the broom. Scrolling in slows the broom and eventually makes it go in reverse, which does not go fast enough to cause the player to let go. To immediately "brake", simply let go of the broom (with [F], do not unseat with [E]) and grab it again.

When sitting on the broom, the player cannot die from falling after letting go. However, they can die if they unseat themselves and fall, whether holding the broom or not. [F] is safe, not [E].

It is pretty slow, though it is possible to AFK fly with it, allowing you to progress without doing anything.

## Strategy

It's guaranteed to spawn in the well near the player's home, and greatly recommended to grab when getting started. Additionally, there's a very small chance to spawn at almost any other building, but of these rare spawns, it's most commonly found in Mansions—often standing in the corner of the upstairs study behind the desk or hidden in the attic space or roof.

It is very useful for easily accessing the roofs and otherwise near inaccessible areas of various buildings, such as the roof and attic space of Mansions, upper floor of the Old house, and other roofs and chimneys—do not underestimate the potential loot hidden there. It is also good for getting out of wells, though you would need to throw any loot that does not fit in your inventory out as you cannot hold other items with the broom.

You can attach items such as baskets to the broom, though it can get messy if you don't have your physics lock (Settings: Misc) set to at least the second setting (Glove box, basket). They will also remain attached when the broom is put away.

It is a good getaway item in a pinch, as you can fly up to get out of an enemy's aggro-range and loop around to safety. As such, it can also be useful for scouting out buildings and drawing munkas away.

Overall, it is a good item to have as a staple in your inventory.

## Facts

* As of April 6, 2023, you are able to put the broom in your inventory.
* It does not add to the count of km driven.
* It shares the same inventory icon as the Shovel.
Seat

(Not to be confused with Chairs or bar stools)

Seats are removable parts on vehicles that the player is able to sit in. Seats can be used when mounted to a vehicle, or unattached. Single seats can be spawned using the developer menu. They are called "Car09RearSeat", "Car09" referring to the Barkas B1000 from where they can be used and found. Triple seats (rear benches) cannot be spawned using the developer menu.

Only specific vehicles can have removable seats mounted inside them, these vehicles include:

- Trabant 601 "kombi" (Wagon variant)

- Barkas B1000 minivan variant

- VAZ-2101 "Kombi" (Wagon variant)

- Wartburg "Estate" (Wagon variant)

There are multiple (5) different types of seats, along with different colors, materials and patterns.

#### Types:

- Single seats (usually spawn as parts on Barkas van variant)

- Triple seats (usually spawn at stops and as parts on the Trabant 601 Universal, the VAZ-2101 wagon and the Wartburg 353W "Kombi" wagon).
Grass

Grass is a tall, narrow leafed plant.

## Description

Grass may be found growing in clumps all around the world and even on the road. Grass can be found in all biomes.

The player can walk or drive through grass with no ill effects. If they do, the grass will be flattened to the ground, springing back up again after a few moments.

Grass can also cover entire fields in grasslands, a biome encountered randomly. The grass only spawns in the center of those biomes where the ground is greenest, and the grass that spawns there is slightly shorter and greener than desert grass. Grasslands grass does not grow on the road.

Grasses can also appear in multiple colours. In deserts, they are either a dark orange or a lighter yellow. In grasslands, they are green. Finally, in the ice plains, they are white. These do not affect the grasses though.

## Strategy

Care should be taken when driving and encountering grass growing on the road as it may be hiding a rock. Grass may be turned off in the game settings; rocks will still be present but will be more plainly visible to the player.

In the grasslands, the grass can make all rocks off the road unseen, and also lag the game a lot if not disabled.

Air Fresheners

Air fresheners are a type of decoration.

## Description

Functionally, air fresheners serve no purpose. They are a cosmetic feature meant to make your car nicer. They can be attached to your vehicle, most commonly your rearview mirror.

As well as attaching to any surface, air fresheners can be attached directly to specific places on items including rear-view mirrors in cars. They do not do anything functionally when attaching, but is still a nice decoration.

Air fresheners can be found at home or in buildings.

## Types

Currently, there are seven different colours of air fresheners, although each of them are functionally the same;

Types of Air Fresheners
Pink Sands

Pink sands are bright, pink biomes in the long drive.

## Description

Pink sand biomes can sometimes be generated while transitioning between Desert and Winter biomes. They share several characteristics with regular deserts, except for the fact that they have a pinking tint to the ground of them. Do note that it takes just as long to overheat as in the desert.

Obstacles like cacti, grass, rocks, and trees spawn here. Rabbits are just as common than in deserts.

They can be a nice place to take some glamour shots of your vehicles, or simply just admire. The colours are very unique and noticeable while driving through. They are very bright, interesting areas that are pretty uncommon.

As a result of their transitional nature, they can feature both rock arches and desert mountains. They do not share a lot of similarities with the ice plains biome surprisingly, and it appears to be much closer to the desert than it is to the ice plains.

The temperatures in the pink sand biome reach 50° during the daytime, and -9° at night, so make sure your vehicle has adequate cooling.

## Strategy

The pink sands biome is functionally the same as regular desert biomes.

Despite being pretty, you should not admire the pink sand biome too much as it could distract you and distracted driving is bad.
Trabant 601

A two-door, front , two-stroke powered, front engined, front wheel drive, air-cooled car. This car is modeled after the East German Trabant 601.

## Info

* The Trabant does not have a separate oil reservoir and fuel tank, instead oil and gasoline are added directly to the car's engine at an optimum ratio of 95% gasoline to 5% oil as it is directly in the middle of the range.
* The car has the smallest fuel tank for a 4 wheeled vehicle in the game with a 24-liter capacity and the fuel tank is removable.
	+ The fuel consumption is around 13.4 km/L (7.5L/100km) of two-stroke mix, which gives the Trabant a range of 320 km.
* Being air cooled, the Trabant requires no coolant and has no radiator. However it's notable that it still heats up from 40°C to 50°C.
	+ It being impossible to install a radiator, engine swapping is not advisable for most engines but still possible. The VW Beetle engine is also air-cooled and makes for a good upgrade, other engines can be installed but will overheat without a radiator.
* Cruising speed is very low at 104km/h and the Trabant can struggle to make it over hills due to only having 23 horsepower and 52 NM of torque. The car also features a manual 4 speed gearbox

## Body/Variants

A station wagon (601 Universal) variant can also be found which features a removable rear seat to allow loading of large cargo.

Features a tow hook at the rear to allow attachment of a trailer.

The car is based on the Trabant 601 (1980 facelift). Better tires, seat belts, more comfortable seats, a fuel gauge, a fuel consumption gauge, a "special" steering wheel and a Trip odometer were optional at that time. Our Trabant has the fuel consumption gauge and Trip odometer it seems!

The Trabant weighs 615 Kg (not counting liquids), the station wagon version weighs the same but can weigh 595 Kg if the back seat is removed, making it the lightest car in the game so far.

The car and body panels are made from a cotton-based plastic known as "Duroplast" in German. Therefore they don't rust. You can use a sponge or polish to make it glossy/shiny. The wire brush, usually used to restore rusted bodywork on steel built cars, will worsen the condition of the bodywork on a Trabant.
