Ideas for Future Updates

[ClassicTractors]

I was hauling equipment with the vanilla flatbed/lowboy trailers today. I have noticed since the game was released that there is no way to secure equipment or implements; however, I have never had an issue until today when I had to stop really quickly. This caused the machines to slide around and go off center. They almost fell off the trailers. I think that providing a way to secure equipment would make transporting equipment easier. When the machines are loaded on the trailer, each trailer and price of equipment would have set points that chains would run to. They would work like the tension belts, but with a chain texture instead. The player would need to exit the truck and walk along side the trailer, pressing "R" to apply chains, therefore securing the machines to the trailer.

Many people have asked about this and Giants has tried it, but the system didn't work well so it was scrapped.

I was also thinking along the lines of a lock load script like many modders have used in the past. I just think some way to secure equipment to trailers would make transport much easier.

Yes, in game should be a tool for sorting vehicles. During the harvest, i wanna to use 2 combines and 2 tractors and switch quickly between them. I do not want to jump after sprayers and loaders. It should also be possible to sort the equipment that I have by type, value, etc.
It should be in the base game so that the console players can use it.

Do you have a link to where Giants said they tried it? I can't believe it wouldn't work well because, as I see it, once the vehicle/tool is strapped/chained, toggle its dynamic collision status so it becomes attached/fixed to the trailer/vehicle.

Decorate the equipment with Straw Bales and you’ll get the “faster straps” icon up.

I think logs work too. Both options look very silly.
