The Tractor (aka "The Sugar-Cube"[1]) is a small, wheeled vehicle which can be either driven by the pioneer or have its movements automated. This multipurpose vehicle is the the first (off-road) vehicle the pioneer has access to and is available early in the game.[2] The Tractor will destroy any small vegetation, such as bushes and small trees on collision. Other than transportation use, this vehicle has 25 slots of storage space and a built in crafting station which is useful for creating a makeshift Biomass fuel source. Downsides to the Tractor include that it is a relatively slow vehicle and handles rough terrain poorly when compared to other in-game vehicles (excluding the factory cart).

Usage

Main article: Vehicles

The Tractor's inventory slots can be accessed by interacting with a red box in the rear of the vehicle. Along with inventory interaction, fueling this unit is achieved by inputting up to a stack of fuel into the fuel slot. All fuels are accepted, ranging from  Leaves to  Plutonium Fuel Rods. Not all fuels have the same energy potential and those with more energy potential last longer, but don't otherwise affect anything with the vehicle. Additionally, the built-in Craft Bench can be accessed from the same menu, by using a tabber located at the top of the menu.

Once the Tractor is fueled, the Pioneer can enter the vehicle and drive it. If the Tractor runs out of fuel while driving the Pioneer is prevented from accelerating and braking. Automated routes can be recorded using the self-driving menu Q.
