The Tractor (aka "The Sugar-Cube"[1]) is a small, wheeled vehicle which can be either driven by the pioneer or automated. It is an early game vehicle and the first (off-road) vehicle the pioneer has access to.[2] It can destroy any small vegetation, such as bushes and small trees on collision. It has 25 slots of storage space, as well as a built in crafting station, useful for creating a makeshift Biomass fuel source. It is comparatively slow and handles rough terrain poorly compared to other vehicles, other than the factory cart.
Usage
The Tractor's inventory can be accessed by interacting with a red box in the rear of the vehicle, where it can also be fueled by inputting up to a stack of fuel into the fuel slot. All fuels are accepted, ranging from 
Leaves to 
Plutonium Fuel Rods. Fuels with more energy last longer, but don't affect anything else. Additonally, a built-in Craft Bench can be accessed from the same menu, using a tabber at the top of the menu.
Once fueled, entering the Tractor allows it to be driven. Running out of fuel while driving prevents accelerating and braking. Automated routes can be recorded using the self-driving menu Q.
