Heavy Trucks (Vanilla+)

Four 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.

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 twice the range of the artillery wagon (448, 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.
• The artillery targeting remote does not command it: it is a truck you drive and aim.
• Holds up to 100 shells of one type, loaded from its window (no trunk).
• Recipe: 1 Heavy truck, 1 artillery wagon, 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 an 80-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 charge a 50 MJ battery (10 accumulators). 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, 5 advanced circuits, 15 electronic circuits, 1 roboport,
  2 solar panels, 5 batteries.
• Research: after Logistic system.

Settings

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