I think the balance of storage is a bit out of whack. A bloke with a backpack is carrying around twice the amount of a train carriage And a little buggy holds 3 times the train carriage!

What about if train carriages held a lot more (and while I'm at it, maybe ore could be loaded by conveyor belts too)? And the character held a lot less - but was able to pull around a trolley, or have different size cars (trucks, trailers etc) and when they are within a certain distance the character can use those ingredients for recipes.

The wooden, iron and steel chests all go up in size pretty fairly so I just think it would make the game more interesting.

Personally I think that balancing a game should have very little to do with realism. Sure trains dont carry as much as players, but they would be able to transport ungodly amounts of items vast distances with little effort. players need inventory space because they are CONSTANTLY using items from their inventories.

Its highly unrealistic, but it makes the gameplay more fun
