How to Refuel a Motorcycle in LifeAfter?

Motorcycle refueling can be done directly at gas stations. Please note that making phone calls and using open flames are prohibited during refueling. After payment, scan the barcode at the fuel dispenser, press the button to select the fuel type, scan the barcode again, then remove the nozzle to begin refueling.

Lately, I've been riding motorcycles in the game every day to explore the map, so I'm very familiar with refueling. After returning to camp on the bike, head straight to the [Material Processing Bench] and look for the gasoline option. Note that this can only be unlocked and crafted through camp technology—you can't make it yourself! Once you have gasoline, open the motorcycle's property interface. There's a '+' button next to the fuel tank icon in the bottom right corner—click it to refuel. The system will also pop up a reminder when fuel is running low. Make sure to refill before the tank is completely empty, or you might stall halfway and get chased down by infected. Always stock up on nitre and wood; crafting gasoline requires 5 nitre and 20 wood per bottle, which is enough to cover a good portion of the map.

Last time my motorcycle broke down halfway, that's when I finally understood the refueling mechanic. You simply can't find gas stations in the game - the key is to first research gasoline technology at the camp (check progress at the camp management console). After unlocking it, all camp members can craft gasoline at the material processing station, with resource consumption similar to food production. The fuel tank status can be viewed in the vehicle garage interface - the gray bar indicates an empty tank. Here's the crucial part: You must be near your garage manager NPC to operate the refuel button! Click the fuel can icon in the lower right corner of the motorcycle info page to directly consume gasoline cans from your backpack. If you run out of fuel in the wild, you'll have to painfully choose to recycle - the motorcycle will disappear but some parts will be returned.

It wasn't until reaching the seventh manor that I finally figured out the tricks to refueling motorcycles. Three key points: First, gasoline can only be produced at the camp (requires unlocking in the tech tree), individuals can't make it themselves; Second, refueling must be done at Happy 101 or your own camp's garage administrator; Third, open the vehicle interface to find the corresponding motorcycle, there will be a 'Fill' button next to the fuel gauge (it turns red when out of fuel). One bottle of gasoline fills about 30% of the tank, and the nitre consumption is quite high. It's recommended to donate more materials at the camp to unlock premium gasoline, which can increase range by 40%. When riding normally, don't hold down the accelerate button continuously - releasing it when going uphill saves fuel.

Just helped a newbie with refueling yesterday. The game mechanics are quite unique: First, you need camp permissions, then have the mayor research gasoline production (takes about 2 hours). For crafting, select the fuel category at the material processing bench, consuming nitre and wood. Key steps: 1. Return to camp and find the garage NPC 2. Open 'Vehicle Management' 3. Select motorcycle and click details 4. Tap the '+' next to the fuel gauge 5. Automatically consumes gasoline from backpack. Fuel level has four indicators - prepare to refuel when it turns yellow. Note for motorcycle modders: Engine modification parts affect fuel consumption, with tier-3 engines consuming 20% more than stock!

Motorcycle Refueling Mechanism Tested: Return to the camp and open the [Material Processing Bench] to craft gasoline bottles (visible after research). The materials require a large amount of nitre and wood. Refueling requires three steps: first, find the camp garage manager, open the vehicle interface and select the motorcycle, then click the fuel can icon to fill. One 500ml gasoline bottle refuels 30% of the tank capacity, which can be increased to 45% with a modified fuel tank. For long-distance trips, carrying three bottles in your backpack is safer. Fun fact: Motorcycles consume 15% more fuel in snow and swamp terrains, but 10% less on sandy or rocky ground. If you force-recover the motorcycle when it runs out of fuel, it will lose 10% durability—this mechanic is frustrating, so it’s best to return to the city as soon as the low-fuel warning turns red!
