Heavy Trucks (Vanilla+)


Half-track heavy trucks in the vanilla style. The Heavy Truck hauls cargo and is the base of the others: the Tanker Truck loads and unloads fluids at ordinary pumps like a fluid wagon, the Artillery Truck deploys on its stabilizers and fires artillery shells in a forward cone, and the Logistic Truck carries a roboport and the five logistic chests, a mobile logistics hub powered by its own solar panels.

i Reduced file size

a month ago

Well, I think I'm not alone when I say this, but 160mb for this mod seems a little too much... personally, I ignore mods that are above 10mb and aren't REALLY something that are hard to play without.

Most AAI vehicles for example are under 10mb.

My suggestion is to create a very low quality version that becomes the default, so this mod can reduce its file size to at least under 20~40mb and then, add a new sub-mod as OPTIONAL with these high resolution awesome graphics.

Good graphics are really nice, but for performance obsessed guys like me, higher performance is always better.

Yeah, that's fair, and honestly it's something I was already fighting with before releasing the mod. I managed to shave a bit off, but the hi-res sheets (especially the artillery truck's deploy/recoil animations) are just huge. For the next version I'm planning to release exactly what you're asking for: a lightweight main mod (around 10MB) with lower-res graphics, and the current hi-res ones moved into an optional "Heavy Trucks HD" add-on for anyone who wants them. Thanks for the feedback!
