Tossing in some of my thoughts

[Cazadore]

i know the game is still alpha and will probably be that phase for a while.
but as far as i know, alpha means addition of gameplay elements and basic balancing and stuff...

so one of my ideas was :

trucks. simple as that
and by adding those i would propose a rebalancing of vehicle inventories.
in my opinion the current state of vehicle is... unbalanced in regards of their corresponding size to their inventories.
why can a tank carry 64 stacks of 100 iron ore (numbers estimates because i dont remember how large the tank really is)
and why can the "car" jeep carry the same ?

i´d like to see a change here, something along the lines like :

jeep: 1 fuel, 1ammo + 10 cargo inventory
tank: 1 fuel, 2 ammo +6 cargo inventory
small truck: 2 fuel, 0 ammo, 25 cargo inventory
large truck + trailer: 2-3 fuel, 0 ammo , 45 cargo inventory
trains + cargo waggons would still be 3-4 fuel and massive ammount of cargo inventory space, around the 60 inventory area

trucks are for your personal transport, non automatable.
(if we ever get a system of rts like transport AI this could change)

like if you want to carry a lot of stuff around, but havent goten arround building a train network yet.
trains would still be the to-go long range automatic transport system, because you can still make long cargo trains of 20 waggons, but they would come at a heftier price tag,


allrighty then. just one of some ideas, im going to work some more out in my free time, then im going to add them to this post/list

your thoughts for the future ?

have fun
