Yeah… When I played it through, I tinkered with vehicles a bit at first … but then quickly gave it up. No trucks, no trains, no drones. They all kind of suck. Ludicriously long, map-spanning conveyor belts – that’s where it’s at. Consistent throughput, simple and cheap to build, no ongoing costs, no resource mixing/sorting issues, the long belt acts like buffer storage, easy to tap off of or merge into at any point… What’s not to like? People say belts don’t scale, but if you just upgrade to higher tiers of belts when necessary, they scale just fine. And once you’ve done one run with stackable supports, it’s easy to stack more on top of it.
1.2 is about to come out and it makes vehicles way better.
