i know we have drop pods but it would be neat if horses could be a thing or some sort of car/wagon for hauling stuff
You, friend, want to learn about this thing called "mods," because you are in luck: you can have your horses, you can have your vehicles! Okay, the vehicles might be boats or airplanes, but maybe carts/cars? Look around in the mods section here in the forum, or on Steam if you use that, or wherever mods show up ^.^
(giddy-up and go is the mod I know for riding animals? there may be others)
There is also Yes, Vehicles (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=48126.0) as well... Which adds tanks and technicals...
Just keep in mind that it's still in WIP... ;)
If you need something bigger, get Boats! (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=49951.0)
if you want it fast SRTS Extended (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=49573.0)gives you Plane Like Drop Pods
and if you want to conquer other planets get the Death Star Construction Kit
