Courier Locomotive

Post by Lav »

There are times when you don't need to carry lots of stuff along the railway.

Or just want to have a mobile player's HQ.

For these situations, you need a special courier locomotive.

2 fuel slots, 20 cargo slots, 2 x 5k liquid containers, 1500 units weight, 1500 pulling power, and a gun turret on top.

It's powerful enough to accelerate itself to max speed, but adding anything else will slow it down noticeably. Unless it's another locomotive of course.

Essentially, it's a player's car - only on tracks. And can carry liquids too. :-)

...or, tank-on-rails? You drive tank (or car?) to track section, press a button, and vehicle start to move faster, consumes less fuel, but may ride only on the tracks - until You press button again...

If the locomotive COULD have an inventory space, something like this could be possible. unfortunately, they can't.
