Update Speculation thread

That's very shaky proof lol

I mean this isn't the first time Tdev has hinted at an excavator being implemented, not to say its impossible and they probably have looked into it and started working on it at one time or another but frankly deformable terrain to this degree seems unlikely to me given how far into development we are and how this would effect the game currently.

 

I think TDev might just be being TDev there lol

Excavators would be a good way to show off the hydraulic system, and if tracks don't cooperate they could just make a rubber tire excavator or just slap the superstructure on a T65 (reference the Gradall Discovery machines). Still, this is so far out of left field and I feel there's better options to show off hydraulics right now...

As for deformable terrain, he has said in the past he wants to see it in game some day. Some members of the community have researched it, and I'm sure the team has as well. But I just don't see it happening near term, especially to the extent where an excavator could be "useful"

 

Someone asked tdev about tracked vehicles in beamcord a few days ago and tdev answered with this

 

WHA…..!!

 

That's could be really cool to have something like that for all vehicles.

 

The forbidden Dacia, reminds me of what Hammond did in that one TGT special with his Focus
Not sure if they'd implement something like that though, probably another dedicated offroad vehicle. Would be nice to see though.
(What about a half track? )

 

Yes for sure if they add track it's for a special vehicle, but that could be fun to drive the hopper with that.

 

*gasp*

I have been dreaming about tracked vehicles with BeamNG world class physics for years

 

If we get tracks, I assume the first vehicle we would get now is this:

 

Well on low range it might work, if not it would need either extremely light tracks (no metal) or a version with more hp (better engine)
Turning with no speed might be a real problem tho

 

Imagine this in game!!
In addition, Gamergull (BeamNG Team) responded with “Great idea!” !!

 

speaking of tracks...

but let's not turn this into vehicle suggestions thread once again

 

Wow this config look awesome.

 

Now imagine this with a snow map

 

I mean... if they really are working on tracks... I am all for it

 

Wow, you crate theses tracks ?

 

Please! Do this for Pessima MK1, I want Taxi from Taxi 3 !
