There should be a way to send out multiple characters on scavenging missions. For example, early in the game, I can use up all of the materials and all but one of my characters are available for a run. This could be achieved by just looping through the characters to pick scavenging missions.
Love the game!! As the webmaster of apoc-media.com (formerly pamedia.com) this game was a tremendous Christmas present to myself.
Keep up the great work! Cheers!
