See, multi-tiled entities like what a vehicle would be, are very hard to code and lag a lot. Also if it is going to be player controlled, say from a computer, that means it has to have coding to, in simple terms, let it go anywhere its told to go withing reason, whilst moving a tile at a time. Unlike the shuttle which just jumps co-ords.

I was thinking more "controlled" than that. I was thinking more like a remote controlled car with a camera on it, where you direct it left, right, foreward, or backward, moving it as your mob temporarily, not so much like a mulebot that takes prewriten commands.

To my knowledge the issue is not that, it is the idea of having a more then one tile critter running around.

Well, we do have space worms now. So presumably you could use the same code that runs those to make a sort of tram or train...except that space worms fall apart in space every time they go around a corner.
