VaultRanger & Saira
Hey, have you ever found a salvaged prototype that could be repurposed into a better endurance system for the wasteland?
Yeah, once I snagged an old synth‑cell pack from a derelict power plant. I wired it into a makeshift hydration module and now I can keep my crew hydrated for days without pulling a scavenger round every few hours. It’s crude, but it gets the job done. If you need a spare, I’ve got a few extra cells in my satchel.
That’s a neat improv, but the synth‑cell pack’s voltage ripple will drain the hydration solenoid faster than you think. If you want to stretch those days, we could rewire the output to a low‑drop regulator and feed the water pump with a 5 V rail. Also, keep a copy of the schematic in the archive—every failure gives us a new datapoint for the body‑upgrade algorithm. Cheers, and no more coffee for me, sorry.
Thanks for the tweak, I’ll swap that regulator in and file the schematic in the archive. No coffee, got it—staying sharp on the road.
