Vehicles

**Vehicles** are used to ship eggs. There are twelve tiers of vehicles.

You can look in your vehicle tab by tapping the Shipping Depot. The depot changes appearance as capacity increases. In the upper right corner, there is a bar showing the current eggs/min vs the maximum the depot can handle. The color of the bar changes from green to yellow to red as the eggs/min approaches maximum shipping capacity.

If you are near the cap, a warning saying "Your shipping depot can barely ship all the eggs you're selling!" will appear every so often.

If you are over the cap, a warning saying "Your farm is making more eggs than the shipping depot can handle!" will appear every so often.

Certain types of research will increase the carrying capacity of vehicles or decrease the price. The base price of buying or upgrading a vehicle depends on how many of that level of vehicle you have immediately before your purchase, not on how many vehicles you have of any other level.

Each vehicle you purchase will add 20 to your Piggy Bank *(if your Piggy Bank is not yet at the cap)*.

Farms start out with a trike and four vehicle slots. However, research will allow you to have up to 17 vehicles using fleet size.

## Hyperloop Train and Hyperloop Train Car

The Hyperloop Train is a unique vehicle. It is composed of the Hyperloop Engine and Hyperloop Cars. When it is purchased, 4 more cars that cost 1.959U - 7.21D with identical shipping capacity can be purchased and attached to the back of the train. This can be upgraded to 9 extra cars with Graviton Coupling, effectively multiplying the total shipping capacity by 10. The Hyperloop Train resides in the Hyperloop station, although it cannot be seen in-game.

Without Artifact effects, the maximum possible shipping rate is 7.008T/minute per Hyperloop Train, or 119.134T/minute with 17 fully upgraded, ten-car trains.

You should purchase the Hyperloop if you are consistently maxing out your Shipping rate in contracts and/or on your home farm. The 50k  cost is a one time purchase, and it does **not** reset when you prestige. Once you buy the station, you'll keep it forever.

## Trivia

* Tapping on a vehicle makes it honk; different vehicles make different honks.
	+ The exception to this is the Hyperloop Train, which doesn't honk because it exists inside the Hyperloop station.
* The Transit Van delivers boxes, while the Pickup delivers newspapers, even if your fleet doesn't have either.
* Trikes and Pickups are the only vehicles to have boxes appear in the car after stopping at the Shipping Depot.
* When upgrading a vehicle from Double Semi to Future Semi or from Hover Semi to Quantum Transporter, the size of the vehicle shrinks despite egg capacity increasing.
* The yellow lines of the Quantum Transporter also appear on the level 7 Shipping Depot.
* The Hover Semi, Quantum Transporter, and Hyperloop Train all count as hover vehicles for the purpose of the "Hover Upgrades" research in Tier 9.

## Notes

1. ↑ #1 is the cost of the first Trike, which by default is already purchased (i.e. free). However, upgrading it and then opening the vehicle hire menu will display this value. This also means that #17's price cannot be attained without first having 16 Trikes.
