Question and feedback!

Hey! First of, I would like to give a big shout out to the entire team behind ECO and related parties, I just got the game a few days ago and I am having tremendous fun, something that was not happening in my gaming experience for a while!

Yes the game has some bugs and some polish needs to be done, but you guys are working very hard on this (seems like it), and the current state of the game worthes every cent/penny, I just wanted to give my appreciation on that, keep up the good work!

Now my question:

Why driving the Powered Cart feels so weird? Is it because I am driving on dirt roads (made with Stone Road Tool), and its the way of making the player upgrading his roads? Or it's just something that it still needs polish dev wise - I mean the driving itself?

I am asking because it feels like I am driving on snow eheh

Thank you!

No, the powered cart is meant as a very small vehicule in between wood carts and steam trucks. Most people skip it because its very big, clunky and has pretty bad driving.
It is a 3 wheel stove powered rickshaw.
Its not meat to have amazing handling or to really be that useful as far as I know

Alright thank you for your answer! Makes sense!

Only use I've found for it, is an early potter/glassworker wanting the extra space for transporting clay/sand while the mechanic works on getting steam trucks out there.
You use a wood cart underground to shovel clay/sand, then swap it to the powered cart to drive home because its faster and has a bigger inventory.

But that has a lot of buts and ifs.

The Powered Cart is the first vehicle we have ever made, it was supposed to be removed from the game once the Steam Truck replaced it, but a good bunch of - probably very pain-liking :D - players voiced they'd like to keep it, so we gave it a bit of a niche place in the typical progression. It's based on such old code though, that it is unlikely it will ever get an overhaul instead of a removal or keeping it as it is, it's just there for legacy rememberance.

Thank you SLG-Dennis for your reply!
Quite respectful from you guys to keep it for the old player-base memories :D
Loving this!
