Why is the Log Sled so important?

[Some Kinda Kobold]

SOmething I've noticed is a LOT of people asking for the log sled and while in the first game its very useful... The rope gun makes it rather redundant. So I am curious as to why so many cry out wanting the sled back when-

- The rope gun can take an entire forest of logs from point A to point B in a fraction of the time without any back and forth dragging and deposit them RIGHT where you want them. Even atop several story high buildings. And can even take yourself there.

- Less chance of something getting stuck because let's face it. The sled was janky as hell.

- You avoid stack in/Stack out time when all you need to do is slap a log on the Rope line and it'll drop it off where you want them.

Log sled is just a waste of calories without strength gain. Even without zip-line you can just chuck wood great lengths by pressing G

Imo it´s a waste of development time. Zipline is far superior for log transportation anyway.

I agree, we don't need a log cart.

Personally I think people just use it as something to grasp onto and claim this game is worse because it's lacking stuff the first one had..

The log sled being added isn't going to devolve into some slippery slope of "Well if we add the log sled, we can't add X other cool feature then"

They need to just use their time and actually develop the game with what people want

I totally agree that the log sled is overrated when the zipline is a thing.
The sled kept getting stuck on small rock outcrops.
It's probably because players are creatures of habit and used to the sled vs the new thing.

Yes but WHY do people want the Log Sled? Rather than New content or more focus in other areas. WHY do they want the Sled when A Zip-line between where you are cutting trees and where you are building is infinitely more efficient, quick, and Bypasses all obstacles while even taking your logs up multiple levels if need be?

I dont mind it as long as it has wheels and its called a cart.. moving that thing around breaks immersion fast

[grinsekeatzchen]

There where multiple threads with answers and you need to make a thread for this question?

Thats the problem in steam foren, people can't read.

Because I want it. There’s no reason not to add it. It was fun in the first game and it should be in this one

The log sled didn’t only carry logs anyway. You can only carry 10 rocks and 20 sticks.

The potential for Kelvin to use the log sled already makes it more worthwhile to have. Not to mention why not just be able to strap a log sled on the zip line and send the entire thing down?

[Buckshot]

Both the log sled and zip lines have a purpose in the game. No need why the devs cant put both in the game. If someone doesnt like using the log sleds....DONT USE THEM. Simple as that. :)

the log sled works best as a portable log holder and holds mote logs then the log holder so you can move more logs to ware you are currently building and you do not need to take the time taking down and re building log holders once your base gets bigger

I do not want the log sled it didnt even work in the forest game. This game the sled would simply break it utterly. Have you seen how twitchy this game actually is lol.

Only issues I had with the log sled in the original game is sometimes it would clip on a rock or stick and LAUNCH me like 30 feet in the air and break my ankles or sometimes even kill me. But with Kelvin being our companion now in SotF, the log sled seems practically useless since he can just carry everything for you.

hum you can use a sled that carry's 12 logs or a Kelvin that carry's one log every ten min
