Hey - pretty new to the game. I'm gold mining. I have a store of about 100 or so gold bars that I have smelted.
What are these worth? If I wanted to trade for a powered cart, what would a fair trade be? We haven't set up a currency yet.
External link →FYI - powered carts are kind of terrible. They are very slow, and handle terribly. You might want to hold out for a steam truck.
That's why we had made it useless in tech tree and planned to remove it. But some people still liked it so much we put it into the techtree again. I'd never use it myself, but some people seem to have fun with it.
I think the problem with them used to be that you didn’t have the ability to even make them until well after steam trucks were available. Now at least you can actually get them before steam trucks. They just came at a weird time in the tech timeline where it ended up being useless more or less, so they hardly ever got built. I only ever made one once and that was just to try it out cause I had extra materials.
That's what I said and was intended, it was subject to be removed.
It's way too big, clunky and drives like a 40t truck. It doesn't even fit typical road curves on servers. It was the first vehicle we made and is officially replaced by the Steam Truck. We just keep it for history now.
While you're here, what do you think about adding a steam shovel? The change from pickaxes and shovels to excavators is enormous, but I think the progression of transport vehicles is very well done - every upgrade (minus powered cart ofc) is useful and reasonable.
A steam shovel would make dirt moving and roadbuilding easier, but if it's slow and clunky and can't dig over it's own height then it could have a good niche while still leaving a very good reason to upgrade to the excavator when it's available
A steam shovel has been proposed a few times now and seems fine for me, but we currently have no plans to add one. The next 'vehicle' will be a boat and then other stuff is coming before new vehicles are considered, though.
Do you know if there will be multiple sizes of boats, or just a single Minecraft-style boat?
There will be multiple sizes of boats, but not necessarily all of them released at the same time.
