Tractors, progression and attachments
Willvette
The tractor is a boon for the farmer but historically steam powered tractors were used for more than just farming, they were used for construction and mining too. The intent of these ideas is to make the usage of a Tractor more universal upon a server.
Mechanics
Dozer Attachment: an attachment for the Tractor, it’s similar in function of the Skid Steer in that it can dig but with a few key differences. The Dozer cannot break rocks of any type, only loose material like dirt, clay, gravel, and mined pickup-able rocks, cannot aim down in anyway just level or above, will dump material if empty below the dozer blade if able, and has less than half the storage compacity of a Skid Steer. The main purpose of the dozer is to lessen the burden of digging and flattening land, but not make it an early replacement of a Skid Steer.
Industry
Modern Tractor: a modern replacement of the Steam Tractor, being slightly faster, more fuel efficient but requires petrol or biodiesel, and can climb up/down 1 block high hills. It can use any of the attachments made for the Steam Tractor (dozer blade still can’t dig down, just level).
Mower Attachment: an attachment for the Tractor but used to simply remove plants as if a machete was used on the plants and temporally prevents new growth by leaving mowed grass behind. This has no production benefit, only vanity… thou its does keep those annoying HOA fees down too.
Electronics
Spreader Attachment: an attachment for the Tractor but used to spread out fertilizer equally throughout an area. It has a setting tab that allows for amount and area resetting, then when driving around it will dump equal amounts to each chunk it passes over. It’ll keep track over which chunk got fertilized and not fertilize chunks that had already been fertilized by it, until it is reset anew.

I think this is a great idea! Would love to see tractors get some more love and upgrades!
