Some notes about the vehicles...

• Cars are back. Please report the inevitable bugs. Will get them fixed up this week along with some more content updates, more vehicles, content, collectibles, and the military base.
  
• For vehicles - You craft gas via grinding up corn in a Mortar and Pestle, then adding Cornmeal and Water in to the Distiller. Pulling Ethanol from the distiller requires a fuel can or military fuel can. Once you have fuel, you can then use it to add fuel to a vehicle.
  
• Most vehicles require spark plugs and a car battery. These numbers are going to change and adjust in the next update and in to the future quite a bit. The car battery charges while driving, and uses about 5% of the charge to start the vehicle initially.
  
• Adjustments coming in the next update for things like damage, fuel efficiency, sounds, and whatnot.
  
• Animations for passengers and drivers are being worked on to be added later.
  
• First person driving is also coming soonish.
