New Carts - Volume 3: the Dump Cart

Postby Mr_Bober » Thu Sep 22, 2022 12:57 am

Today we're going to explore a few ideas for new carts. Our third and last cart idea for the night is going to help landscape artists and dirt lovers from all across this -flat- world: the Dump Cart.

Named after its IRL counterpart - the dump truck - this cart would be a large objects you can pull, much like the cart we have now. For those who already read the "New Carts - Volume 1: the Mine Cart", this will sound somewhat familiar. But for those who didn't, here's the idea:
The main difference between the Dump Cart and a normal cart would be that instead of accepting liftable objects, it would have a special inventory (similar to a stockpile) that would only accept soil (and earthworms).

A Dump Cart would require the Wheel Wrighting and Landscaping skills.
To buil a Dump Cart you would require some wood components, just like a normal cart.

The Dump Cart should be more efficient at moving ore than the current system of carts, wheelbarrows, and boats. A normal cart filled with wheelbarrows can bring up to 1500 units of soil. That's 1750 if you also lift a wheelbarrow, or 2000 if you lift a boat with two wheelbarrows in it. That being considered, the Dump Cart should carry at least 2500 units of soil, or more.

Moving large amounts of soil is what stops some people from doing larger landscaping projects. The addition fo the Landscaping skills clearly shows an interest in terraforming, so let's help the players interested in it with this new cart!

Thanks for you attention.
