Forklift Modding

[snowbuns]

So far in my playthrough the forklift has been a surprising thing I've used a lot, it's been good for supply run storage and zooming past enemies!

I love it, but... what if we could modify it? Maybe use our office supplies to Mad Max it a little-- Add defences, upgrades for the tires to go up stairs, storage upgrades, maybe a water tank on the back for water runs?

I feel like it would be cool to be able to craft and add modifications, I hope this post finds you, Devs <3 I absolutely love this game.

Some parts of the maps aren't vehicle friendly, so making a small assembly line to deploy vehicles wouldn't be viable, since they would be considered items still.

Unless:

You craft a vehicle pad that 'summons' said vehicle, you cannot package the vehicle, but you can always summon it to the pad.

By modifying the pad itself, you can modify the vehicle it spawns.

I can see something like electric wheelchairs as craftable objects, that can be deployed from the pad, then you can modify it to weaponize it to do cool things, like mounted machine guns or other science weapons on it.

Mounted machine gun? What ammo? What gun? SMG? That thing sucks. Nah mounted tesla towers or grinder turrets.

For defense Faraday's Cage so you are safe from the lighting strikes that the mobile deathmobile throws. This also allows you to drive through a tesla's killing field without worry.

Another armor upgrade would use rebars and more metal to reinforce the cage to deflect bullets.

Upgrade the wheels with Omni wheels. This allows the forklift to move in all directions.

The control panel would need an update though. Make it more like Pacific Drive. Levers and buttons for everything.
