New wagon (bucket) broken
So I've tried the 1.0 and can we all agree the new wagon is excessively powerful?
Starting from the worst of its abilities:
5)It carries the bucket with the train for you, no more risk of leaving it behind! This alone is almost nothing but let's keep going
4)It gives light! It dims once the bucket is removed but it almost completely removes night as a problem, and it can also melt snow albeit in a small area, so far it's on par with the light wagon I guess.
3)It gives you super carrying strength, meaning you can easily collect stuff around the train to load it in one trip, and bring out a lot of rails to the front at once. If this was all it did I feel like it would be already a good option.
2)It has no upkeep: just drop the bucket in and no need to supply it resources or dash into it a dozen times, it will just work if you do nothing, now we have something situational but also hands down so not too far from the ghost wagon in usefulness.
1)It gives instant mining.
I repeat it gives instant mining.
Even without being max level you can drop it in your pal's workspace, he'll mine the entire forest/mountain, and bring back all the resources stacked close to the train in a single trip. Just because you spend 3 seconds picking up an item and dropping it near them.

Most wagons in the game give you more options, give bonuses but require resources to be kept alive, and give one specific thing.
This wagon makes you better at everything you do, does almost everything the light wagon does, and carries your bucket for you!
The only "downside" I ever found is that the extra strength means you might pick up 8 rails and drop 5 of them in an awkward spot, but it's like a drop of a problem in an ocean of benefits.
I don't.... "want" this to be nerfed, but I'm sure it needs to. I honestly think that making you only 2 hit resources would make it more reasonable while keeping it very strong and a fun option to play around, but maybe it's not even enough. Maybe removing the carrying capacity part would be nice too: less frustrating, still strong, but not all-powerful.
Any opinions on this?
