Following on from comments made in another thread regarding transportation, I thought I would present those points in a separate post - some of which has already been said in previous threads.

Teleportation

I understand this will be implemented as a faster and more efficient way to get to work (and possibly other locations?) with the October patch, to align particularly with the shorter 48 min day length, which will apparently have the needs system aligned to work correctly within the time frame. I am hoping that this will be optional, as there are plenty players who value the open world and like being able to get to work under their own steam, and may even choose to do so on the shortest day option.

Mass Transit

While I think sometimes buses/subways are a great idea, it would be good if using them were an option rather than the default. As it stands, a zoi directed to go anywhere will use buses or the underground, meaning a load screen, rather than walking or using their own vehicle, which is rather strange. @Samuriko Even suggested that there be an option to disable mass transit in Cahaya, as it is perhaps the kind of place that has less need for such a thing, or seems less likely to utilise it.

General Transportation

This has definitely been mentioned before, but is connected. As stated above, zois will currently automatically use the bus or underground when travelling autonomously, but it would be preferable and more realistic if they could be directed to use their own vehicles, where available. @Leissahl suggested that there be an option to choose how a zoi travels to work, school or another location; ie: “walk to”, or “drive car/motorbike” etc. And that child zois could even be directed to use their scooters, or bikes, if they are added later.

Thanks to @Samuriko @leissahl and @svujgeoejoxzgctxkd for the ideas and suggestions.

Some of these options are going to be implemented in the next two updates.

Could you clarify which ones? I am not on Discord, (I don’t like it), so I am perhaps not up to date with this.

Thanks for your input!

To be honest, I don’t remember. I find out from people who post on YouTube as I don’t like discord either. One person I follow posts a video update as soon as there’s news. But they were going between the October and December update, and what was coming when, so I got lost in the timeline. They definitely said that teleportation is coming before the end of the year, though.

Hmm, I tend not to go by anything posted on YT though, as it is far from being an official channel.

I know about teleportation, that is being implemented in October so far as I know, but that is not a change that I will be using personally, as I said. Great to have the option for anyone who wants/needs it, though. More options are always welcome!

The creator I watch uses official videos. They comment on the changes, then show how it currently is in-game for comparison. So far, everything they’ve said has been spot on.

Some creators are careful and thorough like this, but many are unfortunately not! I stopped watching videos about games when it seemed that most youtubers were posting opinion more than fact.

Yep, I know. There are quite a few that don’t even play, yet continue to post about the game.

Yes to everything. I think zois should autonomously choose to drive/ride to a place instead of walking or public transport. I made my in game days longer because of how slow walking is and how long it takes to get to a scheduled event. Walking doesn’t work on short days.
