Proposal： Log hauling vehicle and warehouse for logs

[eighthwonderbeeton8]

A large number of logs are used to build the base, but there is no warehouse to store the logs.
It is also difficult to transport logs one by one from far away.

You can load logs into vehicles (at least the Van and Truck not sure on others). Walk up to the back and when the option shows hit F to open the vehicle inventory window, now click on the log in hand to put it in a slot of the vehicle.

Thanks for letting me know. I will give it a try when I get home.
Wish I could stack the logs when storing them in the van.

We built a wooden floor and then just dumped the logs on it - basically a log pile and they don't disappear. It works well enough as log storage.

Thanks for letting me know. I had never tried leaving logs on the floor to see if they would disappear.
If so, we will construct a building for logs.
I have a new pleasure.

If we can get by with the current specs with some ingenuity, that's good enough for me.
It is better to have developers use their limited resources on other ideas.

I was able to haul logs in a pickup truck.
I was impressed by the logs on the back of the pickup truck.

I used a vehicle to put small log piles all over the outside of my bases walls and gates to make repairs much easier. I never put a wood floor and none of them ever despawend in my 100 hrs of playtime. But i was playing solo, maybe its different in co-op?

Yarp, I put logs on all my parked vehicles, looks cool. And I used a carge van loaded with logs to run over zombies. I doubt it really had any effect but I like to think thats why my van never flipped over while getting the achievement.

Nah, I don't think it matters. I just put the floor down for the visual element - it's not necessary for the logs to stay spawned.

Thank you very much. That makes it so much easier,

There is a log storage you can build and throw them into once you get back to base. We will be changing the functionality of the storage so you don't need to access the inventory, just hold F to store them. You can still access the inventory if you wish, but just for QoL we'll be adding the hold F to deposit function in the future. If on a multiplayer server, just throwing them on the floor they will despawn after 2 hours

Thanks for the advice.

It's coming soon :) We've got I think...1 or 2 other updates prior to Vehicle Modification, don't quote me, we change things almost daily :)

It's going to be very Mad-Max inspired modifications :) Looking forward to hearing people's feedback and watching the content when it drops :)
