Every special wagon, except Piggy Bank, should be either buffed, or reworked entirely, bc a Piggy is singlehandedly the best special wagon in the game. It immensely improves strength of a future train ( bc 99.9% of runs start from Monorail Meadows ) by giving TONS of bolts

All other wagons are ranging from situational to completely useless:

**Cartridge Toaster: **

  • More stats to scale: Leveling up this wagon past lvl 3 seems useless, bc its almost impossible to find 5+ animals on a single station. Instead wagon can lower animals required to get a cartridge, to make it comparable to Piggy ( keeping in mind that price for one cartridge vault / 4 cartridges is 16 )
  • Allow it to overfill: After getting enough animals to generate one cartridge, it "goes to sleep", even when it seems possible to feed more animals in one station.

Wagon printer:

  • Extension print mode: Wagon itself prints only empty wagons, which is bad, but making it print a full loaded wagon is also not a great idea, bc players will mostly remove extensions from it to make even better one ( for example, 3x range/speed for a dynamite wagon instead of random extensions ). Instead, before starting a station, player can choose to print either a wagon or an extension ( by dashing )

Task wagon:
Giving materials from quests wont help in the long run, bc it wont help improve a train. Mostly its just faster to mine materials / craft tracks.

  • Risk/Reward version of Piggybank?: Instead of materials/tracks in can give bolts. Reward can increase way faster after each quest completed in a row, but drops to 1 after failing one.

Hexnut Tree Cart:

  • Full rework: A player gets a hexnut every single station which is more than enough to unlock everything after playing a bit. For a player, who got everything - its a waste of a station, it does nothing. But making it based around hexnuts in other way also seems bad bc of players who have tens of thousands or even more

I think the toaster is particularly unusable now that you can't toast spiders anymore. Before, doing swamp after canyon let you actually bank more than a single cartridge over a whole biome, which was nice

Than buff the toaster even more ( 2-3 animals per single cartridge ), or revert spider changes

I think having a way to toast the swamp spiders and the island clouds, maybe even the moles, the golems and the sandworms would be sufficient to balance the wagon

Having it scale like piggy (start with 5 max animal inserts per station and have the animals per cartridge do down from like 7 to 2)

I wanted to wait for this patch to come to stable, I will make a separate thread for the cartridgetoaster, I had some ideas regarding that thing.

Didn`t get it, do you mean new unlocks ( cartridges / cosmetic ) ?

If so, it depends only on a cost of a new unlockables and a player progress / active time

Bc every active player can buy everything they can in the shop at least once ( 755ish bolts ), and I doubt we will get updates where a player could spend several thousand bolts
