A while back, I made a thread on Reddit to ask if there's some way to bring cars to an island:

I love islands but I don't want a base without a garage. Any way I can bring a car to an island, and back?
They told me to make a land bridge, but those look ugly without bridge-specific assets, so I scratched that idea. But someone replied something much more interesting, that I only now noticed:

This means we can have a garage and any kind of vehicle we want on our own island, as long as we have a scrap heli to carry them around where they'll be used. Of course, there won't be a train track, but that's not a huge deal-breaker if there's a track nearby, perhaps right across from the island. And I do hope that eventually there'll be a proper bridge and train track leading to islands. It's on their roadmap to improve the island formations, and this improvement could well be a part of it.
All I am saying is, I am more open to trying to fight over and lock an island down now, as long as this "vehicle parenting" makes it into the game.
