Swift / Artisan - Effect on Transporting

[Julian Peter Haas]

Does swift have an effect on transporting speed?

Does Artisan have an effect on transporting speed?

Does the walk speed of a pal have an effect on the transporting speed?

Does the run speed of a pal have an effect on the transporting speed?

Swift and runner do because they physically pick things up and move them around. Artisan won't because that's work speed: no effect on picking something up and putting it in a box. I'm not sure what the different transporting levels do other than maybe let them move higher tier mats? e.g. coal or quartz?

I thought they get slowed down when they transport. And the better they are at transporting, the less they get slowed down?

[MedicinalPsycho]

i think they carry bigger stacks with higher levels

yah pretty sure transporter just makes them able to carry more of something. Runner and swift would def help and make them way faster running around the base

Yes, Swift affects carrying speed as it affects the pal's movement speed in any situation.

No.

Yes, it's movement. Although they move more slowly when carrying.

Yes, you can verify this by setting up a base with nothing but the palbox, drop a bunch of wood on one side and a chest on the other, then spawn two pals, the faster one will carry the resources faster.

To add to this, the ideal work pal would probably be Lucky + Artisan + Swift + Work Slave

Yo guyz,

Maybe Artisan allow your transporting pal to carry more stacks (as the transporting level does) ?
In that case, I would say that the best combination for a transporting pal would be :
Artisan + Work slave (pal carries 80% more stack) + Swift + Runner (pal moves 70% faster).

Has anyone ever tested this possibility ?
