Roverhaul - Simple Vehicle Fuel and Management
By S1nderion
Community Rating
ROVER-HAUL is a lightweight resource and management system for Vehicles in Starfield.
Note: Version 1.5+ requires a Clean Save or New Game.
ROVER-HAUL has two basic features.
DEPLETION
- When driving a Vehicle, it will use Charge.
- The rate at which Charge depletes varies according to Speed, Gravity, and Temperature.
- If Charge is fully depleted, you will be unable to use your Vehicle until you recharge it.
- To recharge, you must use an Emergency Power Cell.
STOWING
When leaving a Settlement or Outpost, your Vehicle must be Stowed for you to bring it along while exploring. There are several ways to Stow a vehicle.
- If you have a Garage Hab, your current vehicle will appear here.
- If you do not have any Garages in your ship, Roverhaul will attempt to store your Vehicle in your Cargo Hold.
If none of these methods are available, your Vehicle will remain behind until you visit a Spaceport again to pick it up.
DEPLOYMENT
- You may choose to Deploy or Leave your vehicle by interacting with it while it is in a Garage.
- This option only takes effect while Exploring.
- The Vehicle will always be deployed automatically in Settlements or Outposts.
CONFIGURATION
You can disable the Depletion or Stowing mechanics individually.

Do you think it's weird that the vehicles in Starfield don't give you any extra protection from planetary hazards? Well, now they do! But not too much.
