gravel flooring

Post by LordSquirrel »

Maybe this idea was proposed before, havent found it though.

Short version:
Flooring that makes you go slower (gravel)

Long version:
At the moment all floorings make things on them go faster.
This is nice, except that i would like to have flooring that slows me (especially my jet fueled car) go slower, to stop my car from crashing into my solar panels.
Think of gravel next to racetracks.

Im aware of the implications it carry with biter defense.

Thanks for making an awesome game!

Why not stop using modded car if the modded car goes too fast ? :) Or add gravels with a mod.

I havent installed any mods yet, im just a bad driver :oops:

Usually i dont install mods because most games come to a grinding halt with a mod or two.
I know factorio isn't one of those games, but my modfobia is still an obstacle :P

Actually, that's walking_speed_modifier , not sure whether it has any effect on car speed ? :?

This might work better ?

There is also a "parking zone" mod that provides very high friction concrete to help with sudden stops, and which complements that nices.

Pavement Drive Assist is really the choice for bad drivers. Like my friend, who uses it because they crashed into their factory too much without it. Terrible driver that friend. Not me though. I drive great, honestly. Never get stuck because I drove into a gap between machines and turned a bit at the end just last night. Nope.
