Vehicle Component

Simpler tiers: the 1&ndash;4 tiered upgrades become a single Basic / Advanced / Modern upgrade each.
Permanent upgrades: a module placed in a workstation is permanent &mdash; no more swapping lower tiers out as you progress.
Power transitions: a module can change a station&rsquo;s power type/draw (e.g. a Modern upgrade moves a sawmill from mechanical to electrical power).
Talent-integrated: modules now use the same bonus/talent system &mdash; any talent benefit (power, labor cost, recipe unlocks) can come from a module.
Cheaper to upgrade: with the multi-tier parts gone, fully upgrading a workstation costs significantly less.

Vehicles can be used for performing a variety of tasks.

Any object containing a Vehicle Component can be mounted and interacted with in a variety of ways, providing a number of benefits.
Many vehicles require Power to operate and each have their own Storage. Building infrastructure around the world will greatly enhance your Transport capabilites as many vehicles require roads to operate.

Types of Vehicles

Transportation: Vehicles like the WoodCartItem can transport goods and people from place to place. As technology progresses, more advanced vehicles become available with faster movement speeds and higher carrying capacity at the cost of creating pollution.

Excavation: The ExcavatorItem and SkidSteerItem can quickly move large quantites of dirt and rock. This will greatly increase the speed of Mining and allow areas of land to be quickly cleared for new construction projects.

Contruction: The CraneItem can quickly perform large-scale Building projects. The crane has a much larger building range than a citizen who is building with a hammer and can access large amounts of storage.
