Introducing fuel to movecraft Back

FoxyBoxer over 2 years ago

My suggestion is that fuel should be introduced to movecraft as a way of powering the engine (furnace) of all vessels, including Zeppelins, Ships, Planes, Tanks, Trains, Trucks and etc.
Firstly, from a realistic standpoint, fuel is widely used in real life for powering vehicles and it just doesn’t make sense why it couldn’t be used in Nations for the same purpose.
Secondly, the fuel market has been heavily stagnant in a long time and thus, the economy of the server is struggling currently. If fuel becomes more valuable for transportation, it will open many doors for a more engaging economic gameplay and experience, possibly even bringing some much needed calming effect on the current state of constant sieges and wars.
Fuel in my opinion should act as regular coal or charcoal, except it should be giving alot more distance traveled per bucket than regular coal and/or should be making the movecraft move slightly faster (for example by 20 or 30%) than coal. Introducing this mechanic in the game will also slow down the rapid mining of coal and eventual exhaustion of the material, leading to a hyperinflation, as well as it will introduce a more easy, pleasant and realistic travelling for the players

Makes sence but with this we need a oil rework because electricity and gps are weird

this has been like suggested 100 times already and there are 2 of the same suggestions right now, i would do it like this if i would choose how the fuel system works. coal = charcoal < coal block = charcoal block < fuel (with slightly more speed added) it is a hard resource to mass produce but i think there should be a good reason to find oil and make fuel tbh.

Issue with adding fuel as a movecraft fuel is it wouldn’t be used much. Aircraft sink too often.
Tanks sink too often
A stack of charcoal blocks is so easy to make that it doesn’t make sense to use more expensive fuel such as fuel buckets in movecraft

I see too many similar suggestions like that, none of them implamented, i assume this suggestion's fate same with others.

Agreeing with Pji56. what if you kept coal as a fuel source, but reduced its efficiency down to the point where it would make way more sense to use it for mining oil (that could also power crafts) so for a greatly exaggerated example, a from britain to the usa it would take a stack of coal blocks, where as it would take 8 fuel buckets or 20 oil buckets

Biken fuel is finite if you use it movecraft your gonna run out and have an efficient fuel source left over to kill movecraft

I agree with pji56 but there should be a better reason to use fuel buckets if this would get added, i tried to make it slightly better but yeah getting charcoal blocks versus fuel will be get into using charcoal still, far more cheaper and mass producable.
