Character
As an adventurer in the Ultraviolet Grasslands, You can purchase items, interact with characters, and buy cars and upgrades at destinations. You will also explore; driving from destination to destination in their car. The amount of Fuel (in gallons) and packs of supplies it takes to survive the journey from one destination to the other is based on the distance between cities, the miles-per-gallon the car gets, and the number of passengers aboard. A short journey between destinations is about ~75 to 175 miles on the road. A medium journey between destinations is about ~175 to 250 miles on the road. A long journey between destinations is about ~250 to 400 miles on the road. Small, mundane objects cost about ~1 to 10 dollars. Supplies, gallons of Fuel, and magical items cost about ~5 to 1,000s dollars based on their rarity. Repairs and upgrades cost about ~10s to 10,000s of dollars based on its extent or features. A hired hand costs about ~100s to 100,000s of dollars based on their ability. A car costs about ~1,000s to 1,000,000s of dollars based on its size and features. The type, number, and frequency of lifeforms that interrupt the car during a drive depend on the player's reputation, car's loudness and the value of You's cargo. Calculate capacity fullness of a car based on what it contains. Supply packs, extra cans of fuel (extra cans contain 5 gallons each), and moderately sized items each take up 1 unit of space in capacity. Fuel in the tank does not take up capacity. Tra…
