Vehicles?

[Crosseyed_Kiwi]

I was wondering that now the batteries are here is there any thought put into electric vehicles to travel? You could add a tyre machine - Coal, Silica and tree sap to create tyres, Mechanics bench to create and engine made of Aluminium, Iron, Copper and Steel, Lift to assemble vehicle, and Panel Fabricator to create car panels that can be upgrade from Aluminium to Steel and add roll bars for extra strength. Batteries are used as power source and have so far reach with extra batteries for longer trips that slowly deplete like a battery in storage would. Faster travel than the tamed animals but the tamed animals have accessibility to get to other areas in tunnels so does not negate the need for them. Vehicle takes damage so needs spanner to repair not hammer and spanner needs to be made of metal combination with required metal in inventory to repair. As this game is from a space orientated point of view with advanced tech then why is this not an option yet?

The idea is interesting, but we must not forget that the terrain can sometimes be very steep and inconvenient. How will transport, especially large ones, travel along it? A motorcycle or ATV - without any particular problems, because they are able to crawl through narrow spaces in the forest and climb steep slopes. If we are talking about a full-fledged car or even a truck, then for now there is only one idea that could partially solve these difficulties. For example, we have an all-terrain vehicle on tracks, or a vehicle with reinforced wheels, and it has a knocking bucket, like a tractor, that literally destroys, crumbles trees in its path, or knocks them over. Then yes, it might have worked. I agree that advanced ground transportation is needed, especially on large maps, otherwise it will take a long time to get from one point to another.

I imagine that Icarus vehicles just can't go everywhere and anywhere...
What about air velocity affecting body temperature?
It may get a little "nippy" :D lol

a small electric verhicle would be nice

what about a hoverbike like star wars stormtroopers

Vehicles was planned for Icarus from the very beginning. you can easy find the pictures of rather far-along developed concepts and actual vehicles in-game. However, probably due to clipping issues among others, they kept pushing them back and introduced mounts.

Now im not a fan of mounts myself, but I can see the appeal for some and I think its good that they are in the game to offer options. However It would also be rather disheartning if vehicles (that was sort of promised through promo materiales) never came to the game. The terrain would offer unique challenges for vehicles, but then again its about choice.
If I wanna tech up and build them, make ramps/roads then let me.

Keep it in mind that the game take place in space age. WIth access to spacestations, lasers and droppods. just somehow no vehicles to navigate the surface. doesnt make sense lorewise

The developers have allowed people to change code to give them unlimited currency, because they believe people should play as they want. Well please then release the feature showed and give the players the choice.
