Hey, I’m slowly working my way through testing some of the more recent game changes. Recently I was roaming around towing a crane everywhere because of the new “lift” requirements for storage batteries etc. And it seemed kind of funny that I couldn’t use it when I needed to full butcher something. I mean it’s got to be at least as good as a rope and a tree! 8)

So anyway, two suggestions from my testing:

1. Add cranes etc (lift 1) as equipment usable for full butchering.

2. Increase the distance you can be from a lift source and still use it, if that’s doable. (I found I needed to have my crane trolley right next to me to pull batteries etc. For ease of play / annoyance reduction I’d like to see that distance restriction loosened up quite a bit.)

Thoughts?
