Wagons a bit more load

Post by ssilk »

Currently the wagons have 15 stacks each. It takes less than 15 seconds to load it fully (with reserve), when inserter stack size = 5. When looking at the car this looks strange. A car can transports a lot more. You need 3-4 wagons for one car.

There's a bit of discrepancy. :)

I also used them now a lot in many different situations. I get me more often thinking it should be a bit bigger, than to think it's ok as it is.
I think, about one quarter more.

That would change the game a bit, because the optimal size of a train gets smaller. Now I think it is about 3-4 (optimal balance between speed and load) and then more 2-3. The train should be made also more slow with more load than yet, to underline that.

The question is then: is this useful? Well maybe. And because of that "maybe" I would like to have for the first try just a second wagon, which behaves so, that it can be tried by some players.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

I agree. The car can carry like 3-4 wagons in Things... that discourages the use of trains, and I think they rule, and should rule a little bit more :)
