possible fuel to increase speed for trucks?

[Mighty Joe Young]

i have completed many play thrus at this point. i love using trucks and other vehicles, but for end game i feel the trucks get left in the dust. more costly to maintain than trains. (especially on 1.0 release since our generators will get a MASSIVE buff where train watts won't be an issue)
i was wondering if you guys would agree on maybe around tier 8 to unlock a new fuel type that increases vehicle speed? recipe could be complex which is fine. this isn't a discussion about making trucks as powerful as trains. just giving trucks a slight buff end game.

yes you can play the game as you want, but it would be nice to have an option to keep the trucks in the logistics while feeling you aren't nerfing your production performance end game.

I'd like the Explorer to go faster too on some Super Duper Nitro Fuel :)

About release 1.0 and watts production ..
Yes I've read that megawatt production will be easier (or less costly).
But we never been told the other face of the medal.... How much more costly will be other things ?
Not necessarily current, but I suppose new productions that will require a lot more energy.
Or I don't understand why easing megawatt production cost

good points. maybe its just buffs all around?

so far what I've seen is a massive using generators. going from 150w -> 250w like a 60% increase.

heavy decrease in the entire computer production tree. (no screws, no need for iron, not needing supers for advanced splitters etc)

I haven't seen any debuffs anywhere. even looking at nodes we still have an 11% increase of all resources in game. so no nerf there.

i wonder if they wanting to make the game a bit easier? i guess? seems like they're really wanting the vibe to increase in game and limit stress or aggrevation. which i don't mind. i create my own challenges anyways like others. such as 1 train period, cap on buildings, no resources refunded on destroy, 1 life if you die you delete save etc.

How do you have implemented "no resources refund on destroy"?

[Grandaddypurple]

Vehicle speed is moot especially since we can assign a route to several same-type vehicles (if your roundtrip is too long for your throughput, you can just plop another truck and you're good).
I think a nice buff for vehicles would be that they can take liquid fuel and not just packaged ones, that would 100% simplify the logistics

Vehicle raw speed, use drones

hmm...agreed never thought about it that way. they are cheap to build. thanjs for input!

no mod for it, we just trash slot all materials returned. if you're doing the "gorilla glue" challenge you aren't allowed to destroy anything period so that's also an option.

Actually, there is a mod for that.... No Refunds by the one and only SirDigby;

thanks didnt know there was one out there!

That is one of my hopes: That better fuel makes Explorer faster.

I would also appreciate a mod for that.

Exactly

Locking Explorer at 103 km/h is just another unnecessary PITA.
