Autocar Type U

Description
The Autocar Type Us were a series of cab-over straight trucks and semi trucks built by the Autocar Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania between 1935 and 1952. This mod includes both straight truck and semi trucks, as well as some special variants, to allow players to start in earlier years than the game's default dates. Note that you will need to change the start year of your save game or enable all vehicle years to use these vehicles, as all of these vehicles are obsolete before 1960.

This mod was created for ryantheskinny's alternate US history project.

Great mod but the blueprint costs are way to low, sure you not off by a decimal, bought all the blueprint though.

With the garbage update released, would it be possible to update this great mod to add support for garbage trucks for small and large containers?

Great mod pack. Now I can set the game for a 1940 start, use US dollar for vehicles as much as possible.

I'm not even complaining, them being relatively overpowered is an incentive to use and expand your dollar infrastructure.

@Whitek3t, these vehicles have actually been scaled down from their IRL stats to help balance them. The top of the line U-90 had a GVWR of 38t and would've been able to carry over 30t of goods, but I've scaled it back to 5.5t for the straight truck, and 8.5 for the semis, in an attempt to keep these vehicles from being too OP.

The only vehicle with a 13t capacity is the Lowboy. I would have preferred not to have this vehicle carry goods at all, but the game doesn't support dedicated vehicle haulers and must carry cargo before they can be assigned to a construction office. I've tried to balance its increased carrying capacity by reducing its speed, but I still want it to travel faster than the in game steam shovels it was meant to carry.

@aantono OP, as in overpowered. The comparable vehicles available on Workshop only can bring 4-6 tons of resources, these ones can bring 5-13 tons.

@Whitek3t, what's an OP?
