moving stuffs with cart?

[bast]

well we are capable of installing and making robotic arms but still we cant move stuffs faster with a simple cart, is there a mod for this or is it planned to be in the game in future? thanks.

how exactly would it work with current game mechanics?

since im not a programmer i wouldnt know that but isn't it nice to be able to move a large amount of chunks easily?

dont need to know how to program to know the current game mechanics. but i have no issues because i tame animals for certain hauling jobs and zone them properly

For a starter it could work like "carryng wounded" but cart is not wounded and build object instead living , small cart is for humans , and big for animals

you would be suprised how much mod stuff just exploits existing mechanics in wierd way

what about a backpack? People could use their own carrying limit, but may carry multiple stacks at once. Could look like clothing, just to make programming easier (I suppose, no programmer here)

It would work like a pack animal, bu you don't have to feed it. Perhaps you could attach animals to it to make it faster.

IMO we really should have land vehicles too.

To OP, in general folks learn to tame animals to haul items as helpers, animals like boar, timberwolves, any animal that can learn up to "advanced" in animal handling is good for it.

It would probably require a new update to add carts but I imagine you could work it out as a simple bonus to carry capacity while the colonist has a cart "equipped".

That would of course just be a standard wooden (steel?) cart, aka wheelbarrow.

I imagine you could eventually add in carts for a traintrack if you really wanted but I don't know if that's what Tynan wants to do considering animals are kinda only good for hauling.

This would be nice, could even throw in a move penalty just to balance out the backpack per amount of weight added or something.

Vehicles would give an extra use for chemfuel I suppose, Though I imagine it would be a hell of a lot of work getting the pathfinding right for vehicles like cars.

It's kinda funny to imagine Rimworld with lorries and cars and such roaming about. I think I would like that.

Yeah the vehicle is kinda nice but more for the global travelling than in the map, if he adds vehicle he might as well add trading between system using vehicle that we can just send our men to trade rather than waiting for them to come. The backpack is a good idea tho, it takes a ridiculous amount of time to just hauling stuff around to build or cook/craft that is not really neccessary.

There were mods for carts about 4 alphas ago. Sadly, never got updated. However the person doing the Star Wars mods has made a set of tools that also includes the ability to add vehicles. So, I'd imagine we'll start seeing them again soon.
