agreed, after 200 years, there would be more forests than wastelands. take Chernobyl disaster for example. it released as much as 400 times the radioactive contamination of the atomic bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki. after 24 years, the trees and some animal spices are reported to have taken over the area, even where the explosion occured.

as for the cars, there would probably be hundreds of highly trained mechanics and engineers living in vaults. according to fallout bible, during the great war, there were 122 vaults and 1000 residents in each. even if only 1% of these people were mechanics or engineers (they would have a fatal importance for keeping the things go) and even if half of these vaults were destroyed in war, that still makes 610 well trained engineers in the wastelands. they wouldn't have to try to understand how to make vehicles because they would probably have schematics for every engine that would be necessary after leaving the vaults. even today repairmen can convert simple diesel engines (the ones used in irrigation) into basic transportation  vehicles.

since people wouldn't have any difficulties in finding engine parts, they would start repairing cars from the day they finished making walls around the cities. because transportation would be urgently needed in search for other people or more fertile areas. and if they had advanced in energy and fusion technology before the great war like in the game, then it would be even easier, for building electric powered motors are much easier than building diesel powered ones.

due to the already existing knowledge on engines and electronics, in 200 years, people would have a more advenced technology than we have today. they would have better cars, better aircrafts, better tanks... they would be building new vaults for The Great War II.

Keldorn:
Keep inmind the US government was pretty fucked up with the vault experiments.  Some of them might not have had schematics at all.  Remember only a few control vaults were meant to be opened and the people to actually re-work the wastelands.  I supposed there would be some mechanics but would these folks actually share their knowledge with the world at large?  The only reason vault dwellers even co-mingled with the outsiders was because of desperation like Shady Sands and the ghouls.

Again as Surf mentioned its more than just parts.  Even mechanics today have to comb through a car to find out what the hell is wrong with it and thats after hooking it up to a sophisticated machine.  Who says the vault car comps (indeed if there were any) would be able to maintain a connection?  Would these folks even know about cars that were 50 some odd years old?  Look at how much cars have changed from 1900s to 1950s.  Would the vault overseer or leadership want folks spending time trying to find salvageable cars throughout the entire state?

Most of the cars in the wastes look like they are totally FUBARed.  I mean those things look wrecked and many a description on the cars if you bother to mouse over them state no amount of repair will g et them moving again.

kraskish:
I agree with you Keldorn. Cars/Robots/Train/Traintrack are impossible to exist in Fonline thats why we have them implemented

We could move on with idiotic things and have robot mercs, whats wrong with that? Would it spoil the overwhelming sticking to reality policy? I doubt it

Keldorn:
Hey I wasn't the one who brought up logic into this.  As we all know realism is a pick and choose affair in Fallout.

I merely stated that althought I don't have a problem with robot mercs, I can understand where Surf is coming from.

Then you Krakish, decided to post some sarcastic ass comments about how irrelevant me and surfs arguments were.

Sarcasm or not it's an arguement against your arguements.  And I have to agree.  How real is it to be able to Hire Supermutants?  Sure it has nothing to do with technology but having arguements based on realism vs mythical crap is kinda useless in the Fallout World.
