#1214 miscellaneous support vehicle stuff
Minor request for support vehicle stuff that hasn't been implemented yet. I understand that most of this stuff is on the back burner and much of it may never be implemented. But it doesn't hurt to ask, right? This is all taken from the Support Vehicle Construction section in Tech Manual.
Missing Support Vehicle motive types:
airship and rail
Missing Chassis Modifications:
Bicycle, Convertible, Hydrofoil, Monocycle, Snowmobile, Submersible
Missing support vehicle fuel
Missing support vehicle engine types:
Steam, Electric (Battery, Fuel Cell, Solar), Solar
I see that bicycle, convertible, and monocycle chassis got implemented in 37.5-dev. Thanks! I also saw that support engines were added, but I'm not sure how they were implemented. Are they under the < engine_type> tag?

I think it was just construction data that was added. I don't believe they were implemented.
I understand that, I'm just wondering how the support vehicle engine construction data was implemented. Were they added under < engine_type>?
Yes. See the constants from Engine.java:
public final static int COMBUSTION_ENGINE = 0;
public final static int NORMAL_ENGINE = 1;
public final static int XL_ENGINE = 2;
public final static int XXL_ENGINE = 3;
public final static int FUEL_CELL = 4;
public final static int LIGHT_ENGINE = 5;
public final static int COMPACT_ENGINE = 6;
public final static int FISSION = 7;
public final static int NONE = 8;
public final static int MAGLEV = 9;
public final static int STEAM = 10;
public final static int BATTERY = 11;
public final static int SOLAR = 12;
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks again!
There was more done with this a few months ago and SV's can be built by hand and validate.
These still need to be done:
Missing Support Vehicle motive types:
airship and rail
Missing support vehicle fuel
Also the various game play rules with the chassis need to be implemented.
