Hi
Could you add a manual draising (I insist, I needed 10min to find its name!).
This would be a vehicule for rails, with just the arms of our hero to provide energy (so not so fast, but a little bit quicker than just walking). And more than everything, this would be cool (and a little bit Hypster, I have to admit).

Many thanks

Niko

:) would be something, which made me smile to use in game.

But why (and when in the game) do you think this is useful?

Well, this could be a step before using the trains. And if you don't want to spend coal/energy for a short journey

While a hand cart could be fun, outside its use for shunting (something done by next to nobody) I see almost no use for it what-so-ever. If you want to travel short distances might as well run or just carry a train and some cheap fuel like wood or coal, and just drive there. Not to mention trains are a pretty early game technology. If it had a massive inventory and possibly the ability to lay rail from its inventory then I can see a use, but as it is? Especially with the rail laying update? Not really.

Hum, I definitely try to find an excuse, but, ok, there is one reason : This is fun! Can't we develop some fun stuffs? (I saw something about a spidertron, for instance)

I see this as mod-suggestion and moved it into that board, but left a link here.
