First use of the Travois

[Gary Childress]

Used it a few minutes ago to haul 60+ kgs of loot from Thompson Crossing back to my main base at the farmhouse in PV. I started at 100% condition in front of the community hall and by the time I reached the farmhouse it was at 90%. Overall, I REALLY REALLY like the travois. I want to marry it.

Nice! I haven't played since the update and I was wondering how it worked. Is the calculated weight based solely on the items in the travois, or does your backpack weight factor into the final calculation? I also heard that it's pretty hard to steer.

Your speed is based on your backpack only, making the travois really awesome to use, I have to say after all the issues we had with the game this year, it's been a very long time since I really had this much fun !
Even on interloper, you can basically do anything you like, as long as you know the path to take because, yes the travois does get stuck on multiple terrains.

On the new map, I went to explore outside of the buildings/mines area which is pretty much of the center of the map, I went a bit on the sides, spend like 3, 4 days ig, killed a bear, deer, got lots of stuff, went back to the buildings/mines with 40+ kilos of meat and tons of extra stuff, in only one run, this is so fun to do !

My first use was from the cave in Raven Falls Ravine to the Camp Office, carrying <20 kg, taking 3-days and sitting out through a blizzard -- condition was 83% and it harvested to 3 saplings, on a stalker save. I was going to head to Broken Railroad with it but would rather have the bows.

If the travois was made out of branches it would be great.

Yesterday I used it for the first time and think that I ran into a glitch. At first I emptied it one item at a time by doubleclicking each item. That worked. Then I used the command to transfer all at once and after that I wasn't able to pick the empty travois up again.
Since I make frequent manual backups, I was able to reload a previous save file and make it once again possible to pick up.
Beware of this possible glitch/bug.

I now pronounce you husband and travois. You may now kiss the makeshift sled.
