fleshed out vehicle teirs

This one is pretty simple, i feel the various tech ages need to have more equviliant vehicles for their age, IE we have a steam tractor but no modern tractor that uses fuel. I think this needs to be fleshed out more. Firstly i think we need a modern tractor and its attachments to flesh out the age of oil i guess a way to put it. then to flesh out the age of steam i believe we need a steam excavator and a steam tracked loader (the early equivalent of a skid steer) And a similar logic can be applied to boats as well, This way as tech advances you unlock a equalviant tool for that age. Same can be said for the age of wood carts, since animal husbandry is coming maybe adding in a pushed plow and a ox plow to allow farmers access to earlyer tools as well. The pushed plow being a manual tool, like the cart. using your energy to produce a result Then throw in a Wooden crane, and a steam crane to give both the age of steam and the early ages something to use the wooden crane obviously would use your human energy since historically they were powered by humans using their own two hands/feet I feel if this is done it will add a bit more complexity into how tech progresses in the game and make some things like earth works and farming bit more easier and interesting early and late game, it also will make engineers have more clients and make capentry have more clients as well early game then throw on what can be done with boats like early wooden vessles/sailboats to steam powered fishing boats and so on, and this doesn't even get into what trains could bring table, that alone has everything from cow pulled to electric in the late era.

ideal for mining of course or mountain/tall builds

I also think that it would be great for farmers to have better tractors or even a combine harvester in the more modern eras. When thinking about lower tier vehicles, I would also think about adding restrictions and limitations based on professions? E.g. You have to be a miner to use a lower tier excavator (or it consumes a lot less calories), so miners don't become obsolete or people cut out the middle man because they can now use an excavator.

Dump Truck, fork lift, ATV, Motorcycles, and Speed boat. If space ever becomes a thing...spaceships.

Sunlight That just gave me a thought, what about in late late game, space exploration tech that lets you build out in space.

It would be good if in the future you made a suggestion per singular feature you want to be added, otherwise the overview over suggestions can quickly become difficult and voting on singular parts is no longer possible. In this case there already was a suggestion for kind of a steam excavator and another one for multiple other steam vehicles (but also an engine, that doesn't fit into the theme of the suggestion and also not into yours, so that part of the suggestion is now "lost"), which I have now merged into this as its also partly part of your suggestion. Not necessarily all voters on the steam exacavator may agree with the other vehicles you suggest though, so voting is now a bit off. At the same time it is important that we do not have any duplicates to vote on, otherwise it will be very hard to handle this tracker. So it is generally advisable to stick to one feature per suggestion or at least keep all suggested things to be of one tight topic.
