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?
