A Truck is a large vehicles with a big inventory useful for transporting items and players.

Description[]

Trucks are a class of large logistics vehicles with many variants, all designed for the transport of certain items or players.

Trucks are unarmored and have a high disabling threshold, making them easy to disable with a few small arms bullets. They only cost Basic Materials to build at a Garage, making them cheap vehicles. They are very fast on roads but very slow offroad, and are slower when loaded with items. They have a low fuel consumption rate and 100L fuel tank. All truck variants always have at least two seats (driver and passenger).

Trucks can be Can be packaged but are so large they can only be transported by a Barge or Freighter, not a Flatbed Truck or Crane.

Interacting With Structures[]

Like most logistics vehicles, the truck allows its driver to directly interact (press E) with all structures that have an inventory (excluding Storage Boxes and Pallets) without leaving their seat. In the structure's menu the truck's own inventory appears in the bottom left instead of yout backpack. This allows for an easy transfer of items to and from the truck.

Truck drivers can submit their vehicle's entire inventory into a Base's Stockpile by right clicking any item and choosing "Submit all to Stockpile".

A truck makes you retrieve items or crates from a stockpile twice as fast as on foot, and allows you to extract 3 units at a time using Shift + Left click. Items extracted in excess will not be loaded but still take the full time to complete the process (if truck is full and you order a 3 unit extraction, it shall progress and then "inventory is full" message shows)

The inspiration for the Warden truck can be seen in the French Citroën H Panel Van as well as the British Bedford Q Series Truck while the Colonial truck is based off of the American GMC CCKW Cargo Truck.

+A '''Truck''' is a large [[vehicles]] with a big inventory useful for transporting items and players.
+== Description ==
-A [[Truck]] is a large [[Vehicles|vehicle]] useful for transporting items and players. It has an inventory with 15 slots, and can carry up to 6 players: the driver, a passenger and 4 people in the back of the truck. [[Player|Players]] that are [[Encumbrance|overencumbered]] cannot enter a truck.
+Trucks are a class of large logistics vehicles with many variants, all designed for the transport of certain items or players.
+Trucks are unarmored and have a high disabling threshold, making them easy to disable with a few [[Light Kinetic|small arms]] bullets. They only cost [[Basic Materials]] to build at a [[Garage]], making them cheap vehicles. They are very fast on roads but very slow offroad, and are slower when loaded with items. They have a low fuel consumption rate and 100L fuel tank. All truck variants always have at least two seats (driver and passenger).
-The truck is much faster than players when traveling on roads. Because of its speed and large inventory, it is the best method for transporting infantry and supplies. Travelling off-road dramatically reduces speed, so it is highly recommended to travel using roads.
+Trucks can be Can be [[Shippable#Packaged%20Vehicles|packaged]] but are so large they can only be transported by a [[Barge]] or [[Freighter]], not a [[Flatbed Truck]] or [[Crane]].
-The truck is very weak to all types of fire. Only a few small arms rounds are enough to disable it. Because of this, trucks are mostly used behind the front lines along defended roads.
+=== Interacting With Structures ===
-When a truck is destroyed it explodes, killing any players inside. A "trunk" appears under the vehicle wreck, containing the items that the truck had inside of it.
+Like most logistics vehicles, the truck allows its driver to directly interact (press <code>E</code>) with all structures that have an inventory (excluding [[Storage Box]]es and [[Pallet]]s) without leaving their seat. In the structure's menu the truck's own inventory appears in the bottom left instead of yout backpack. This allows for an easy transfer of items to and from the truck.
+Truck drivers can submit their vehicle's entire inventory into a [[Base]]'s [[Stockpile]] by right clicking any item and choosing "Submit all to Stockpile".
-Trucks can be [[Encumbrance|encumbered]] by the weight of their content reducing their speed, just like soldiers. The approximate top speed of a standard truck while encumbered is 12.5 m/s, and is increased to 17 m/s while unencumbered.
+A truck makes you retrieve items or [[crate]]s from a stockpile twice as fast as on foot, and allows you to extract 3 units at a time using <code>Shift + Left click</code>. Items extracted in excess will not be loaded but still take the full time to complete the process (if truck is full and you order a 3 unit extraction, it shall progress and then "inventory is full" message shows)
-== Accessing a stockpile ==
-When delivering items to buildings with [[Stockpile]]s ([[World Base]]s and [[Forward Base]]s), it is possible to access the stockpile without exiting the truck. The player needs to move the truck's cabin near the Stockpile building and access it (<code>E</code> key by default). Base's inventory and stockpile will appear as usual, but instead of the player's inventory it will display the inventory of the truck. This allows for an easy transfer of items to and from the truck.
-When taking items from the stockpile, the player inside the truck can  <code>Shift + Left click</code>  an item to extract 3 units of the item instead of one. The assembly time is significantly shorter than assembling the items one at a time. Items extracted in excess will not be loaded but still take the full time to complete the process (if truck is full and you order a 3 unit extraction, it shall progress and then "inventory is full" message shows)
