Lets talk about mounts

[Gago95]

This game has long needed some kind of mount with which to travel great distances, hunt, transport materials. Some kind of mount such as a horse, ox, donkey, or similar would be fine.

As there is a fast-travel system in place that can take you to most areas of the map and your inventory is far larger than should be physically possible for even a metahuman, the idea of a mount isn't really "long needed."
Such a mechanic would appear much, much later in the Early Access, if it appears at all.
