Simulation Mode
Description
A Simulation System is a special game mode that allows wastelanders to quickly and effortlessly immerse themselves into the PvP skirmish scenario without need of obtaining gear, ammunition or any other kind of supplies. This brand new FOnline2 feature was intruduced to the game in July 2016. You can find this feature in Vault City's Vault on level 1. You do not need to become Vault City Citizen in order to use this feature. I guess conversation with Vault City guards goes something like this: "You want to Enter Vault stranger? Hell no!...och you here to fight in simulation and pay us a lot of caps? Go in then."
For each simulation session a player hosting it has to pay a fee of 1000 caps.
Hosting Options
To host a game room simple start dialog with the console in the Vault level 1 room. Make sure you have caps in your bank account. As Each match will cost 500 caps it might be good idea to prepare like 5k minimum so you won't have to worry about having to break in middle of fun. Once room is hosted and assuming you have enough players to play with a host can do set the following things:
Map Picking
There's 14 different maps to choose from and a "Pick at random" setting.
A Simulation Map named: "Mining Village".
A Simulation Map named: "High Rise".
A Simulation Map named: "Grave Yard".
A Simulation Map named: "Fortress Factory".
A Simulation Map named: "Farm Town".
A Simulation Map named: "Empty Desert".
A Simulation Map named: "Dense Ruins".
A Simulation Map named: "Crossroad".
A Simulation Map named: "Check Point".
A Simulation Map named: "Boneyard Warehouse".
A Simulation Map named: "Abandoned Facility".
A Simulation Map named: "Fortress Factory".
A Simulation Map named: "Waterworks".
A Simulation Map named: "Train Yard".
Time Picking
- Day
Battle will be fought in daylight. Most convenient option.
- Night
If you are some kind of Vampire you might instead of day, fight at night. Everything will be bit harder to spot. It's still not as bad as a third option though.
- Simulation Blue
If you are masochist you can turn this option. Instead of fighting in Daytime or at Night entire battlefield will be illuminated by some very weird cancerous blue tint. The explanation for this troll option was that: "Ughm it's a simulation not a real fight right? So we made the whole screen blue so players will know that this is simulation instead of normal gameplay. Yeah makes perfect sense.

Trivia
Note: That's just speculation!
- Basically right now only simulation PvP part of this feature is done and released. And even that part is not really done. Simulation feature really offers a lot of options. Right now players have everything set on the plate. Even the Robo Armor can be used if they wish to - we can safely expect that it won't be case for very long. In game there are traces of unfinished point system, Where? Just check the Karma entries in your character sheet. The more simulation points you gather the better tier options you will be able to host with. Another unfinished business are two extra options that you can pick instead of PvP mode. The first option: "Holodisks Sim Boot" is not really yet well know but rumors says about special items can be found within the wasteland(dungeons, events, sierra control, town control etc) that will unlock special PvE quests. Some thing lorewise can't be put inside the game, for example we can't have players blowing up Enclave Drilling Platform, but simulation has no limits and thus such insane quests will be probably possible only in form of the simulation holodisks. The second not yet implemented option is called: "Player vs Environment" and just like in the Holodisks cases there is no confirmed information but just wild speculation about series of tough PvE challenges. For example the game will be offering you a list of battles with NPCs. Ever wanted to clash with 100 deathclaws in Tanker? Now u can. Or you will. Or actually not since it's just theory at this point. Woah this section of the article is getting bit chaotic and messy. I know. Let me make it even more messy and suddenly return to PvP part of the simulation feature, there you can find yet unfinished mode called: "Set Bet". It looks like it will be possible to fight for caps with other players. That sounds very neat. To sum up: Simulation System offers a lot of possibilities.
