[Request] Tree Harvester Vehicle

[Telarin]

One problem that I frequently run into when building mining outposts is the slow process of clearing trees to lay rails. I am usually far from my main base, so dropping a roboport and using construction bots to clear the rail path is not practical. The automated rail laying mod is nice, but does not work with the electric track mod that I also play with. As an alternative, it would be nice if there was a vehicle (does not need to be fast moving) which would clear and store trees as you drove it. It should not be automated, just a drivable vehicle with a fair amount of storage space (alternately, harvested trees could simply be placed in the player inventory).

In stock game there is such a vehicle - it's called TANK
Run over trees, lay tracks behind. Works like a charm

There's always the Shotgun, your #1 problem solver in so many ways. Grenades work fine aswell, but they leave nasty craters that can destroy all your ambitions, so use them with care or not at all.

In 0.11.10 that is fixed, so grenade away as much as you want
