Heavy Trucks (Vanilla+)

Six half-track heavy trucks built to look like they came straight from Wube: same camera,
same materials, rendered in 64 directions with animated tracks, lights, shadows and their
own wrecks. They all share the same tractor unit and each one carries a different job on its bed.

Works with Factorio 2.0. Space Age is optional (the V3 Launcher needs it).

Heavy Truck

The workhorse and the base of the other trucks.

160-slot cargo bed.
Recipe: 32 engine units, 10 electronic circuits, 50 iron plates, 100 steel plates.
Research: Heavy truck (red + green science, after Automobilism).

Tanker Truck

A fluid wagon on the road.

Two isolated tanks of 25,000 each (front and rear), so it can carry two different fluids.
Park it next to an ordinary pump: the vanilla connector arm reaches out to the tank
valve, just like with a fluid wagon. Pump towards the truck to fill it, away to empty it.
Each tank can be served from either side, with the pump on either side of the valve.
Moving the truck disconnects it instantly.
Its window shows the fuel and one bar per tank in the colour of its fluid.
Recipe: 1 Heavy truck, 5 advanced circuits, 2 storage tanks, 5 engine units, 15 plastic bars.
Research: red + green + blue science, after Fluid handling.

Artillery Truck

Mobile long-range artillery.

Deploy it when stopped (button in its window or Shift + G): four stabilizers plant on
the ground and the gun rises. It cannot be driven while anchored. Fold it the same way.
Fires vanilla artillery shells (any ammo of the artillery-shell category) in a
70° cone ahead, with half the range of the artillery wagon (112, minimum 32).
Artillery range, shooting speed and damage research all apply.
Manual fire by the driver: the shoot key, or the targeting tool (Shift + T or the
shortcut bar), which also works from the map and shows the range cone.
Automatic fire: a switch in its window; when deployed it fires on its own at enemy
spawners and worms inside its cone, with target priorities like a turret's.
The artillery targeting remote does not command it: it is a truck you drive and aim.
Holds up to 100 shells of one type: load them from its window, with inserters or with
Ctrl / Shift + click, like a tank's ammo.
Recipe: 1 Heavy truck, 1 artillery turret, 1 radar, 5 processing units
(+ 10 tungsten plates and 5 tungsten carbide with Space Age).
Research: the artillery science packs, after Artillery.

Logistic Truck

A mobile logistics hub.

Carries a compact roboport (1 robot slot + 1 repair pack slot, logistics radius 25,
construction radius 50) and the five logistic chests (passive and active provider,
storage, requester and buffer), 5 slots each, plus a small 20-slot trunk.
Its network travels with it and keeps working while driving; robots follow the truck.
When it overlaps your network they merge, and the game picks the closest chest and
robots, so the truck serves whatever is near it.
Self-powered: its solar panels (as much as 10 vanilla ones) charge a 50 MJ battery
(10 accumulators). Parked within reach of a power pole, it also charges from the grid.
The vanilla "no power" icon appears if it runs low.
Robots come and go through the roboport iris hatch, which opens like the real one,
and the antenna spins.
A panel next to the car window shows the roboport, the battery and the five chests; each
chest opens its own vanilla window to set requests.
Recipe: 1 Heavy truck, 1 roboport, 5 steel chests, 10 solar panels, 10 accumulators,
5 advanced circuits, 15 electronic circuits.
Research: after Logistic system.

Radar Truck

A radar on wheels.

Driving, it has the range of the game's radar.
Stopped, raise its mast (button in its window or Shift + G): the antenna goes up and the
stairs come down, for twice the range. It cannot be driven while the mast is up.
The antenna of the game's radar spins on its roof while it has power.
Self-powered: its own solar panels and battery, and it charges from the electric grid
when parked within reach of a pole.
Recipe: 1 Heavy truck, 10 accumulators, 10 solar panels, 1 radar, 10 advanced circuits,
20 electronic circuits.
Research: red + green + blue science, after Heavy truck, Advanced circuits, Solar energy and
Electric energy accumulators.

V3 Launcher (Space Age)

A late-game mobile launcher for one enormous missile, inspired by the V3 of Red Alert 2.

Used exactly like the Artillery Truck: deploy it when stopped (Shift + G), the four
stabilizers plant and the launcher raises the missile; fire it by hand (shoot key or the
targeting tool, Shift + T, also from the map) or in automatic mode with target priorities.
Launches in a 70° cone ahead with more range than the artillery wagon (300, minimum 48;
artillery range research applies).
The missile slides out of its ramp, climbs fast, cruises and dives onto the target, trailing
smoke, and lands with an enormous explosion (10-tile radius) that destroys cliffs too.
On the map it is seen flying like an artillery shell, and the impact area is revealed live for a
few seconds.
Carries one missile at a time, visible on its ramp (also while driving): load it by hand, with
inserters or with Ctrl / Shift + click. Its nose and fins take the truck's colour.
V3 missile recipe: 10 rocket fuel, 10 explosives, 5 low density structures,
5 advanced circuits, 10 steel plates.
Recipe: 1 Heavy truck, 10 quantum processors, 50 lithium plates, 20 tungsten plates,
20 low density structures, 20 processing units.
Research: all science packs up to cryogenic, after Artillery and Quantum processor.

HD graphics

The trucks come with standard-resolution graphics. For the high-resolution ones, enable the
optional mods (the mod portal limits each mod's size, so they come in two parts):

Heavy Trucks (Vanilla+): HD graphics: Heavy, Tanker, Artillery and Logistic trucks.
Heavy Trucks (Vanilla+): HD graphics Part 2: Radar Truck and V3 Launcher.

Settings

Every truck except the Heavy Truck can be switched off with a startup setting.
