How about adding 18 Wheelers to the game, Somewhere at the time Cars are available, separate research needed like the tank

18 wheelers hauling cargo around. Have a Truck that can hook up and unhook from trailers using the rolling stock hookup and unhook keys.

Van trailers, Flatbed trailers, Tankers all used for those quick outpost you set up that are too small for whole train set ups.

If this gets enough attention I will elaborate more.

Mad Max trucks jump to mind on how they should look

I like the idea, this would make small amounts of resources more attractive

So far my only draw back is what size to make containers. Trains have 1 slot less than a wood crate but that's ok because of the speed they can move items, I would like to have the trailers the size of steel chest but and maybe 1-2 tiles shorter an thinner than the rail cars. You drive up and drop one trailer to be unloaded and pick up another trailer that has been loaded... Essentially 3 trailers cycling through.

Nice idea would be cool if it gets Implemented or someone makes an mod

I know very littlw about modding. If I had a tutor Id do the grunt work to make this mod but alas I dont know programers.

check it out roadtrain (trailers)
