Log Sled?

[Ohrumon]

Just a thought, but I've seen that there are those sleds you find in snowy areas. It would be kinda cool to fix them up into something similar to the carts from the first game? It would keep with the game's atmosphere, but also give us an easier way to transport logs in situations where the zip line isn't an option.

i demand snowmobiles with hydraulic tip trailers....

I'll copy paste my comment to the other log sled thread

Zipline, it's just better. and faster than walking with a sled would be.
Though with all the people complaining about it they are likely going to add it in eventually

I just hope they make big changes to it like maybe a log sled that you can tow with the new "vehicle" which could potentially carry more logs and be the only thing I would consider better than the zipline if it were easier to take logs across significantly longer distances...if the suped up onewheel has that much horsepower lol

Otherwise I stick to my initial statement, the zipline is just better hands down and the log sled as we knew it is obsolete, it serves no significant benefit over the zipline.

The log sled is NOT obsolete. The zip line is a static device, and still requires carrying TWO logs to it at a time. You are not always able to make one everywhere you need to chop trees, and who would want zip lines ALL OVER THE PLACE just for chopping trees??

Log sleds however can easily be moved around to different batches of trees for cutting. That is why almost everyone wants them back. My process would be to setup a central zip line in an area and then use log sleds to get logs to it to speed up logging to the fullest extent, especially over long distances that you would not want to push the log sled. This would be ideal.

So yes, the log sled is still needed.

just make Kelvin bring the logs to the zipline? as you chop down the trees.....it's not that hard

gonna take more than that to change my mind on the log sled being obsolete.
Zipline is just better unless we got something faster and can carry a bigger load than the original log sled. It would make it viable to gather logs far away from your build location so you don't have to make it look like a barren wasteland

The log sled is something you don't need an item for and could be built right away for early base building stuff, it's not like it doesn't have its use. It could also be used along with a zipline, say sending logs to a specific landing and then be able to haul a pile of logs around with the sled. Could also make the sled usable for rocks and sticks too. It's weird for people to argue against it like it negatively effects the game when more options is better for everyone.

Its more realistic then floating log that travel on rope. But for me the real use of this sled would be inside building when your tower is so tall that is out of reach. Alternative is to make hole on each floor to make some kind of elevator but not that simple. Kelvin have a low radius of work so not that helpful. He always run after the log i just put on the rope and would walk all the hill to get the log and bring it back. 60 logs on the ground is not enough for me. I would like the option slider for that.

I am all for more options, I'm not against the log sled I just feel if it's a carbon copy from the first game it would be redundant alongside the existing options. Kelvin can gather sticks and rocks and plenty spawn so there isn't really a significant need for a log sled to carry them, I've even built long rock roads and built most of it with rocks found next to where I was building.

Kelvin could also bring logs to a zipline for you and if you wanted to get fancy you can build some holders by the zipline for him

They likely will add a version of a log sled to the game because it is in such high demand I am just hoping they make significant improvements over the old jank design because a carbon copy would serve no significant additional benefit to the existing options. Personally I feel the only way it won't be a redundant addition only to appease demand would be if it made longer range log hauling easier than needing multiple ziplines for long hauls having to stop and go with each line, then we could make logging camps away from our pretty scenic homes more convenient.

Currently with ziplines and Kelvin it fills the same logging distance if not further than what was comfortable in the first game for larger builds

did you know logs can go up ziplines?

I mention using it on a hill and as elevator. I dont understand you

well you mentioned a tall tower out of reach....open up a wall and zipline right up into that floor and fill in that wall when your done?....how tall of a tower are you building? it can easily reach bottom to top of the tallest waterfall in the game and likely higher, I've never tried personally to build much taller than that yet

[ToNyThAKiLLeR]

Like i said the tower is out of reach. I have to make hole on the floor of each lvl To bring my logs. Its would be way more simple with the log sled. I have spend over 100 hours building my tower. Its really tall.

[ToNyThAKiLLeR]

When i say its out of reach that mean the way you are talking about is no longer possible since the grip gun have a range limit.

Why is it starting to seem like furries are the ones obsessed with the Log sled? Is there some kinda deep psychological aspect of stuffing as many logs into one... ooooh.... I get it now.

lol are you calling me a furry because of my silly steam name? that's cute, no offence to furries but I will never understand them. My wife gave me the username as a ouran high school host club reference which is an anime she was obsessed with at the time and it was less 90's edge lord than anything I'd have came up with

I'm just standing my ground as the devils advocate to the majority asking for the log sled to come back
