If you can place 'train' entities on the roads (which are just rail entities..) then maybe follow on with this idea like the Cargo Ship mod and make lower-tech/lower-cost 'road train' cargo trucks mod? The trucks follow the roads.. have truck-stops.. etc. Would be neat.
That would be so badass xD Factorio...but with trucks transporting cargo between outposts/bases as opposed to trains...total game changer without changing much of the game, genius!
I need to work on it soon... i'm fixing some mods, and this trucks thing is something i have to learn... if someone could help me!! XD I'm too noob for some things...
