Vehicular Transport?

[S I D]

So can someone please tell me if the Trucks can take any other form of fuel? It seems that I need regular "fuel fuel" but you don't get refinery until after you complete Space Elevator Phase 2 while Vehicular Transport is down at Tier 3.. Just kind of doesn't make sense to have it available so early if you can't use it.

Coal works in trucks, tractors, and the explorer.

Also I believe that solid biofuel will work too.

vehicles are not picky about fuel. Wood, leaves, color gun ammo (yes) , coal, biomass, fuel, compacted coal, turbo fuel, nuclear fuel rods.

all work.

Truck stops seem to be a little picky about what they think is fuel however, and tend to only accept ,coal, fuel, turbofuel

i have not tried the color canisters in a truck stop but they work great as an early fuel infact they are better than regular fuel in terms of burn length.

Anything that can be burned as a power source in a generator can be used in a vehicle. Grass, solid biofuel, coal, fuel, turbo fuel, petroleum coke, nuclear fuel rods and so-on. Batteries also though those currently don't go in a power generator.

This page has a table with all fuels and what buildings/vehicles can make use of them.

Yes. Before drones, batteries were only a thing for trucks/tractors.

Yeah trucks/tractors/buggies take ANY of the following:
Leaves, wood, mycelia, alien carapace, alien organs, flower petals, colour cartridge, fabric, biomass, solid biofuel, packaged liquid biofuel, coal, compacted coal, petroleum coke, packaged fuel, packaged turbofuel, packaged heavy oil residue, packaged oil, battery, nuclear fuel rod, plutonium fuel rod.

Note with nuclear fuel rods, they'll last 2 hours & 46 minutes in a truck, but you won't be able to really use the truck yourself because of the radioactivity. Fantastic for automation, though, since the trucks will never have the issue of running out of fuel mid-trip.
Also of note is that batteries are phenomenal "fuel" for vehicles because they last an extremely long time.
