Wheelbarrow or anything to drag heavy items around?

[brazorf]

I mean beside cars.

When chopping trees its a bit tedious to move logs and planks around, so some sort of moving container, like a wheelbarrow or a shopping cart, to cover short distances would be great.

Are you aware of any plans addressing this?

For logs, if you have enough 'rope', you can tie a bunch of logs together and drag them with much less weight on yourself.

Ah! Good to know.

You can equip a bag on your back, stuff it with roped logs, then tie 4 or 3 log stacks, equip 2 of them as primary and secondary, and fill your inventory with rest of the stacks.
Or if you have enough bags - do the same thing, but this time with bags containing tied logs.

Yeah, this. With one bag equipped as primary and another as secondary and another on my back, I'll load em up with planks. Then I transferred the bags to a disposable off-road vehicle. Equip new empty bags, rinse and repeat until the vehicle could not fit anymore bags and I'm no longer able to fit any more planks in my inventory.

That's how I made my trip from logging site to building site.

You can't really tie planks, nor do they have reduced weight ( a plank weights 3, so 3 planks from a single log would still weight like a log itself ), so it seems like a waste.

The only problem now is, they made ropes very hard to find. You used to find them everywhere. Now, like the screwdriver, they are nowhere to be found in any quantity.

Odd, i'm using current build and i do find them quite often in hardware store shelves.

Quoted the important parts of both posts.

Yes, you can find them in hardware stores, but exactly how many hardware stores are there, and in what quantity? You need 4 ropes just to tie up one bundle of logs. (Unless that was changed recently as well.)

I'm not building with logs at the moment and I'm not min maxing. I saw the logs to planks on site to level up carpentry while i'm at it and I put them (plus sticks and branches) in the bags to carry more at the same time. Put it in the offroad vehicle to carry more bags from point A to point B faster. When reached point B can just dump the bags on the ground and repeat the process.

I'm new to the game. Am I doing it wrong?

It's not as much about min maxing as it is about time. Winter is a thing.

If you tie 3 logs together, they weight 3 each for a total of 9, instead of 9 per log. You can just aswell go to the building site and unstack the logs, and saw them there. No real difference in that regard.

I wouldn't suggest to tinker with bags on the ground, as it has a probability of crashing the game, especially if you put bags within bags accidentally.

That is a very good piece of information. I've never tied logs with ropes before because of a misunderstanding of how it works on my part. I thought the weight difference is negligible so never even attempt it. Now that I know about that I'll make the proper adjustment to my workflow. Thank you.

Hydrocraft mod has devices to move large number of items. Such as wheel barrows and lifts.

Also making ropes is easy as you can convert clothing -> sheet rope -> rope -> heavy rope.

Meaning you can make non stop ropes from zombies.

cool, i'll check that out

My only complaint with hydrocraft is that it makes the game too easy. That and I am not sure that it will be compatible without major updates when the animations update comes out. If not, then there will be a LOT of players complaining about that, and how hard the game is suddenly.

It matters - if you play hydrocraft you should play with increased difficulty. The idea of hydrocraft is actually giving you a purpose to play beyond a certain point.

If the hydrocraft developer is using the test branch he has nothing to worry about.
