The vehicles in the level, loot or not

The vehicles in R.E.P.O. and which of them are loot: a car and a plane that are valuables, a snow bike built to be ridden out, and a tricycle that arrives as a monster with a rider.

Applies to

0.4.0, read from the copy of the game this site was built from (see the sources page)

Before you start

• A route back to the extractor that a vehicle can take
• A crew that knows which of you is driving
• Room to put a plane down again

Steps

1. Expect some vehicles in a level to be valuables you can carry out.
   the car, the plane and the snow bike are each defined as a valuable, with the usual trap states and rarity level for going off
2. Look at a car's parts before you decide how to move it.
   it has a body, front and rear wheels, a driver with a body and arms, and a curve for each of them
3. Listen to a car before you trust it to sit still.
   it has sounds for the horn and for starting, stopping and running
4. Expect a car to handle differently once it is moving.
   it carries two physical materials, one for standing still and one for moving
5. Do not expect a plane to stay on the ground if it is going fast.
   the plane takes off according to speed, with a lift per unit of speed and a maximum lift force, and it has a cruising speed and a flight speed
6. Look for the seat if you intend to ride a snow bike out.
   the snow bike has a seat, a look-at point and a steering transform
7. Expect a snow bike to keep a state and a timer, like the machines.
   it has a state, a timer with a maximum and a rigid body of its own, along with an engine loop
8. Treat a tricycle as a monster rather than as loot.
   the tricycle arrives with a rider and the game keeps the two together as one monster
9. Know that its approach is announced, including a bell heard across the level.
   it has a bell, a bell heard across the level, a final build-up and a warning given before it acts
10. Watch the rider's rig, because the wheels shake on a spring of their own.
    the rig has wheels and handlebars kept as their own kind of object, with a body, a bell and a pedal crank transform, and the wheels shake on a spring with its own speed and damping

Common mistakes

• Treating a car or a plane as a crate and finding out what it does when it starts.
• Assuming a snow bike is scenery when it has a seat and steering.
• Trying to carry the tricycle out instead of getting out of its way.
• Ignoring the bell, which is the monster telling you where it is.
