Truck parking while idle

Another advantage to this is the ability to see at a glance how many idle trucks you have. If the 'parking lot' is constantly full, then you likely have too many trucks and you're burning fuel unnecessarily. Great place to Scrap older vehicles too.

Mining trucks and excavators already go back to the control tower. I would suggest adding an option that vehicles go to a parking area first when paused, then shut down. That would be tidier without generating extra truck trips.

This should be at the top of the list. Hate having to recover vehicles because they decide to go idle in place as soon as they complete a job. If they don't have anything to do, they should at least go back to the vehicle depot or something.

The snack bar could also sell cigarettes/tobacco products, opening tobacco in farming, paper from trees, etc!!

Agree, it's annoying to see your truck just idling around waiting for a job, despite them having only 20% fuel.
Even if this idea isnt implemented, there should at least be some logic that they go to refuel if they've been idle for a while, so they're prepped for the next job.

+ I would love to assign/unassign workers (drivers) to trucks.
For instance, I could have spare excavators and when needed, assign a few workers for a temp. job.

Tony you can reassign vehicle workers by pausing them like you would a building.

It's good idea but may cause higher consumption of fuel.
The other benefits, like lesser number of workers is ideal.

You still don't have a parking lot for your machines?
I have.

Each truck or even a machine could have an optional "forced parking spot". In case it gets idle, it goes there.
And a 'waiting spot', if the truck cant deposit its load, or cant access the excavator. If the tree harvester has no more trees to harvest
Both of those should be only optional.

This would be really cool to have and would allow you to see the available trucks better. It would also clean up trucks parked all over the place. It would also be strategic on where you might place it.

Still Waiting for parking lots

I think this is a bad idea because if it cost a lot to build all these parking lots or if they are a set size like the dock then we probably won't have a lot of them and if trucks have to drive far or even just out of the way to sit idle for 2 minutes then it is a waste of time and fuel and could possibly put them out of position for a new orders but no I understand it would be esthetically pleasing and neat maybe as an endgame look but practically not feasible
