Update Speculation thread

While am boring and im not into heavy machinery, I cant wait to see this in beam.
I know this will be made love and passion that only beam could make,
I still hope they shove a smaller bit of road car stuff in? maybe the covet engine meshes into the mk1 pessima
or a sedan moonhawk but time will tell

 

True it's just that this is something beam desperately needs, it's a physics engine after all, it only makes sense to have extreme vehicles lol

 

ive been wanting one of those for years either an al-jon or an overbuilt style

 

Now that we've established that we're most likely looking at a wheel loader and a mine haul truck, One thing I'll be curious to see is how they handle the drivetrain logic.
Normally equipment of this size comes with a hydrostatic drive, and in some cases mine haul trucks (including the BELAZ 75710 in real life) use a diesel/electric drivetrain like a locomotive.

It makes sense they're going in this direction; they conquered offroad racing with 0.27, conquered the truck sim market in 0.31, they've been going after the rally sim market since 0.35, and now they're finally tackling the hardest competition of them all; Rigs of Rods.

I'm also wondering what other heavy equipment they might have planned, for this update or for the future. BeamNG.Agriculture, anyone?

 

i mean why not take over the farming simulator market next

 

I think it depends on the size, since it seems to be a more intermediate sized one it might not have anything overly complex, maybe a V8 or V12 Diesel. I'm expecting something in the ballpark of the CAT 777 which have similar engines

 

I wonder if we'll get a Grader as well. Would be very unique. There is a lot of possibilities!

 

I don’t know what it is, but I’ll play along with the big dumper theory…what scenarios are we getting with it? And where? Utah seems like the only spot that makes sense. I know there’s a quarry in west coast but if this is a point to point mission, realistically where would this thing go?

 

It's for novelty more than anything I suppose. I'm 1000% for it
And Johnson Valley has pretty good scenario potential for a vehicle this size

 

Yes it's not. AI steals from actual artists which is why a lot of works end up looking like ai.

Anyways I still think the slidenodes on the sides are the "hands" that pick up the garbage from the side.

 

I think this is the biggest update since 0.27, prob not bigger but we can hope.

 

Its something HUGE. Perhaps a dump truck who knows. I have a feeling it has more than just certain hydraulics or something. This is going to be very interesting as more teasers start to come out. I wonder if they're going to add a cavern map. That would be interesting. All I know it could be an RV but RVs aren't that big. This is a long HUGE truck. Perhaps it's a trailer that has a crane upfit or something for the t series. There seems to be a absolute ton of sliding parts. I'm starting to think that this whatever it is is more than just one thing. Those screenshots dont seem to line up the same. Could it be different attachments or tools? Do we know the width of it??? Are there any height guesses??? Would it fit under a bridge?

What I do know is it's about three vivace long. Somewhere around that. Now we can use that to figure out how tall it is since we've got a measurement to go off of.

 

I am still lost on what the first teaser could possibly be. The second is very obvious, but not the first

 

Did I guess it right!?

I might have gotten one of them right on the head but the other one might be a different upfit or something... Lol I'm looking forward to next Thursday.

 

The Thursday you mean, cuz I would die waiting for next Thursday.

Im so cooked rn i got osslt

 

I'm thinking back to this teaser from the last update and the seemingly huge heavy duty tyre close to the camera.

 

I wonder if hybrid drive trains are going to become more popular in the game. Who knows but I've been begging them for a prius shape for a while now

 

If they add a hybrid it HAS to be a Prius/insight type of thing. If its anything else I will spontaneously combust.

 

Got lazy...

Lmfao

Just a heads up I am trying to post from my phone and it is clunky lol

 

i think wentward could be the perfect brand for these types of vehicles or belasco-diesel ( the brand of the engine of the T-serie )

and the travel trailer don't have a brand ?
