NaTraNe - The National Transport Network
The Basic Idea
This is a technology idea to facilitate the moving of large amounts of goods around Egypt, ore, bricks, boards, things such as that.
After discussions with teppy, the idea has been changed to a ground-based idea. A track-based system, with an engine and carriages.
Possibilites:
1) Fuel for the system: Either human (wound clockwork) or steam (charcoal, petro or coal) powered. X fuel takes you X distance. Fuel hopper (springboxes if clockwork, hopper if fuel-fed) can be upgraded. It will be possible to 'overload' the fuel hopper, but will take up some of the space for goods.
2) Altitude differences greater than X would require upgrades to track.
3) Carriages can be upgraded to take larger loads, heavier loads.
4) Engine can be upgraded to pull heavier loads
5) Containers can be upgraded to carry people
6) Ownership of 'stations'/containers: Is it required or should they be public?
7) Unloading towers: Towers where a container is automatically unloaded into a 'stockhouse'.
8) Route mapping: Probably the biggest sticker of the bunch. How can the container be sent to various destinations?
9) Gravity effect on fuel: Going down hill takes less fuel, reverse for up hill? Would add a measure of surveying to the tech.
10) Stations are placed similar to aqueduct towers. There is a hexagonal grid to which the towers are constrained.
11) Carriages can be added, but decreases the time, down to a minimum time.
