It would be cool if the framework allowed for true nonhuman drivers, wouldn't it

No idea, I didn't make the vehicle framework

I have a curiosity!
if actual colonists can be used to pull vehicles, why can only fake animals pull vehicles? What was the programming roadblock that resulted in fake animal labor?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i love the air balloon

Ah, okay, thanks! That helps narrow the problem down.

Cool. This mod doesn't have code

I also encountered vehicles turning pitch black 3x3 sprites. I tried to deconstruct the wheelbarrow, it was empty and had no driver and turned into a black square, failing to be deconstructed

Obviously not

uh anyone else having problems with vehicles from this mod becoming black screens when you try to deconstruct or damage them?

Do pawns inside the carriage count as covered or are they technically still in the world? Thinking about doing a playthrough with vampires with lethal UV sensitivity and wondering if the carriage would allow me to caravan without ambushes instantly crisping my vamps

@Stalins_Purge: Vehicles don't get diseases, you have mod conflicts

WHEELBARROW MOD LETS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOOOOOOOOO

Hi sorry if this is a dumb question but my covered carriage contracted the plague (the horses I assume), how do I treat it? Whenever my doctor/animal care pawns click the carriage there isn't an option to tend.

Not without the framework adding that

any way to add pulling animals as a specific type of passenger in a vehicle? so vehicles require animals to run instead of just food?

I don't want that

I can make this before I can build a wall with Vanilla Factions Expanded - Tribals. Please put it behind a neolithic research, even a small one.

I hope it's ok to toss some ideas for more wagons into the comments. Probably most of these have been suggested or asked for before. -- A "Royal Wagon" like those gaudy french imperial ones with the gold accents could be fun for Royalty playthroughs. -- For Western runs maybe the "Concord Coach" style stagecoach. -- A prison transport wagon with bars.

Again, I'm not sure what do you want me to do with that :) This mod uses a framework

The balloon could need some kind of failsafe. i had multiple occasions, where i set it to land on map border but it couldnt due to bad rng when it tries to land on mountain tiles. Balloon and pawn gone.

The balloon is useful, for mods that add places you need to visit in person for functionality, like Classical, but dont tend to place those places anywhere close together. (Or in especially habitable regions.) I do wish there was a bigger version, though, with more passengers. But I guess they didn't make double-basket hot air balloons, did they? I could always try sending two of them but caravanning with them is weird. It says you can't start a caravan with them, maybe because it's a flying vehicle, but you can launch and then start one. Haven't tried two yet.

Ask in the framework

Apologies if this has been asked, but how do I trade with my vehicle caravans? I loaded up a covered carriage with stuff and sent it to trade, but none of the stuff in the cargo section is accessible in the trade menu.

I do have Vanilla Trading Expanded, so that could be it, but I just figured I'd ask and see if anybody knows what to do.

Huh ok to be fair I looked it up and they were invented in like the 2nd century in China and also at some point in medieval Europe so it does kinda make sense

Why does stuff like the wheelbarrow require steel? 😅

Works great for me, thank you!

From the FAQ above:

Q: Where Flintstone Car?
A: In every mod, there is just this SUPER OBVIOUS joke that everyone repeats until it loses all meaning. In the mushrooms mod, it was references to Deep Rock Galactic. In Highmates, it was constant furry references. Here, it is Flintstones Car.

"LOL (insert concept here)" is all the reason anybody needs to mod something into RW. But that's clearly not what this collection is about.

Some more combat vehicles would be cool, hussite war wagon, gulyay gorod, horse-drawn cannon/trebuchet/catapult/ballista, elephant/mammoth/camel/muffalo mounted artillery. Wild West covered wagon with the vehicle interiors framework would be fun.

@melelconquistador
Why would you want the Flintstones Car? What practical benefit would that add to RimWorld? Aside from "LOL Cartoon Caveman Car!" there's absolutely NO reason for the Flintstones' car to exist in RimWorld.
Unless Sarg feels like adding vehicular manslaughter to RimWorld. But that seems like kind of a big "IF."

No flint stone car?

Oh. Well, i think somebody else should do something like that. Right now there is no mod for that sort of things, or i cant find it. Though, i find problem of moving large piles of resourses on the map pretty obvious. Y know, like big amount or rocks, mined ore or stacks of lumber. Anyway, still, thanks for the mod.

I can't change features like that, that'd be a change in the framework

its sad that wheelbarrow cant be used to move ore to storage on the map. Or at least i dont know how to.

No idea, sorry

I feel like I'm losing my mind, but isn't there a github patch or something to make the recipes work better with medieval overhaul? Does anyone know?

It would be perfect if we could put things on horse carts and if we could have a plough that we could hitch oxen to and plough the fields with.

Thank you Sarg. I was looking for a simple way to have vehicles for my medieval colony. I appreciate you!

The balloon is way overpowered, but I love it. Maybe some of these vehicles should be behind a tech requirement.

Maybe!

hi sarg, do you have any plans to incorporate VVE upgrades?

as a joke can you add a Flintstones car

/shrug

I don't feel right about an ox cart or horse chariot built out of nothing using wood. It must implement actual oxen/horses/dogs strapped in, else it's a cheating in a way, and doesn't feel right to me. That's basically why I remove this one after some time playing.

Would you consider adding a raft as a potential vehicle? Maybe it could greater passenger capacity than the outrigger but be extremely slow as a trade off.

I noticed that the collisions for some of the wagon parts is off, for an example, Covered Carriage where the front wheels is right by the horses and the Ox cart wheels is cover the whole thing even the ox

@Colonel.EXE But Chariots getting the plague isn't that far off, they are animal traction vehicles, so is the horse getting the plague, not the chariot itself? Call it a feature, not a bug

They can't, you have something conflicting with the Vehicle Framework

Alright so uh.... I guess chariots can get plagues...?

Yeah

i guess you dont need horse to build horse cart right? It will be treated as vehicle with Hay as fuel or any other organic marterial?
