Transport Trucks

[Sinnersaix]

Hi,

i hope my English is not to bad. I guess many ppl thought of Trucks allready. I came to this because im annoyed a bit by collecting Stones. Building Trainstations for lil Stonefield feels a bit Overkill. So i startet to use the Scoutcars Trunk to transport Stones around. But that tooks time and i have to wait or come back later to get the Car. So why not using something like the Car ( Car got an incredible big Trunk, nearly 3 Waggons worth of room). Maybe reduce the SC's Trunk and instead using a big Truck for that and get it automated.

How to use a automated Truck without Road or Rails? Maybe with Buoy's placed like Poles that tell the Truck "stay on the Buoy's right side" until it reaches its Station for loading/unloading. Trucks would be of course way slower then trains.

And like the Car, use the Truck direcly.

Maybe there can be different Types of Trucks, not only Transporters. Treeharvestertrucks, Mobile Turrets, Generators, Droneports etc.
I know that sounds more like an Idea for a Mod, but i think that would help in Vanilla. MAybe Combien the Transporter and Treeharvester for starters =) Tank is an awefull Dozer.

Well just my Ideas to get those damn Stones =)
