Forge Wagon

A dedicated mining and salvage hauler with cranes and bays to strip a site bare in one pass.

Rusty Caravanned 12 hours ago 1.6k views Patch EA Patch 3

Overview

The Forge Wagon is an economy engine. Its whole job is to roll up to a rich salvage field, deploy the crane arm, and haul away more loot in one trip than three runners could carry.

Storage is the point: four cargo holds, three salvage bays, dual fuel bunkers, and a lockbox for the valuable finds. It can defend itself with a pair of turrets but you should travel with an escort.

Slow, expensive, and worth every Mechanical Part once the crowns start rolling in.
