The roads are probably bad, and you cant use it.

Only thing you could do is upgrade the roads, and if it isnt that.. well i tried. :lol:

I feel his pain too. If it wasn't for the CR, I'd post somewhere what vehicles can/can't go on what type of road. Honestly, it's so unfair... spending all that iron and steel on a BUS, then you can't take it down that damn dirt road.

BLOODY HELL I HATE YOU! *Hyperventalites*

this is why we need a knowledge base

Moved the garbage stuff to general discussion. This is General Support, for support... of course.

We'll need to find some form of solution to this problem, of course. Be it a warning when you build the vehicle...

"There are no roads that this vehicle can use. Are you sure you wish to continue construction?"

Or an explaination of roads it can use...

"The thingamajig can use Sand Roads, Paved Roads, and Imaginary-Really-Not-There Roads"

...I like the latter. It should say that in a seperate page, where it shows you the information needed for construction...

What worries me about building a bus (or an other passenger vehicle, com to that is this any one of your pasengers hijack the thing? Passenger vehicles should be designed so that only the keyholder can start or stop the things. (call it an ignition key? Hmmm...maybe not quite right for a rickshaw)

All you have to do is break the ignition lock on a vehicle in real life (At least, older vehicles...) and voila, you can operate the car without a key. Just think of it like that in Cantr. They break the door lock, so they can break the ignition lock too.

Or, you could think of it this way... FLINSTONES! Yeah. No floor in the vehicle, and they pump their legs to move the car - and the engine they built just roatates like an elastic band, so that when your feet get tired, it begins to go in motion, like cruise control.

There. That's why vehicles don't have gas, or an ignition key :)

Yeah, but what I'm thinking of is some way of geting round the fact that there's no disinction between driver's seat and passengers seat, at least not in any of the vehicles I've used. So to hijack your vehicle, all your passenger needs to do is wait 'til you nod off. whoever logs in most frequently gains control! Even the Flintstiones would have to overpower the driver and take his seat, if they wanted to higjack the vehicle, wouldn't they? It's too easy!

I thought it was the first (or last) person in the car that has control.

No, everyone in the car has control. I know, I've hijacked one that was occupied.

Seems to me that this topic is rapidly departing from general support material...
