[Request] Dude, where's my car?

Post by 5thHorseman »

I'm constantly leaving my car somewhere, taking a train instead, and then opening the map and thinking to myself, "Where did I park that thing?"

I thought it'd be nice to have a hotkey that works in map mode, that somehow attracts my eye to where the little car triangle is hiding among the rest of my factory. Maybe make it flash, or have concentric circles flash around it.

Obviously you could have multiple cars out there, maybe make them all flash, or the last non-train vehicle you were in, or maybe cycle through them all as you hit the hotkey.

Or, as soon as I get out, automatically pick the car up and put it into inventory so I know where it is all the time!

Doesn't work if car's inventory is full.

I definately agree, we need some way to identify cars and tanks more easily. Not only in the map view, but also in the game view. The car is grey and it gets so easily lost between assemblers or grass decoratives. It would be helpfull if we can have the cars coloured and to stay coloured when not inside it. Also the consentric circles with a hotkey could work great to locate it on the map. That little triangle gets lost so easily on a screen. Please devs, look into this matter for us?

Found a better solution to this - helicopter remote control.

Doesn't matter where it is, comes when summoned.
