A barrel with nothing in it is still pretty heavy, as is a large chest, and all those other items.

Not a huge fan but some things should be walk speed just because while the graphic isn't changed there are easier ways to move them (example being barrel, rolling)

I dont know if rolling a barrel is actually easier.. rolling one uphill is certainly harder than carrying it uphill. And there could be rocks in the way.

But, to properly highjack this thread:
Moving speed back to walking after you drop the lifted item.

Disagree on the original idea (It's just replacing one thing that makes little sense with another, introducing an exception in the process. Exceptions are best avoided), but completely agree on the hi-jack. To expand on it somewhat, have a preferred speed (Set by right-clicking an icon, I guess?) that your hearthling tries to match when it's available.

well ideally items would all have weight and an empty straw basket wouldn't slow you down at all, etc etc but really

Been suggested before and is really overdue sadly.
If you keep focusing on the shadow behind, you will not see the light in front of you.

Being successful isn't just about hard work and succeeding, it is also about picking yourself up when you fail.

well if you ever hauled something heavy in real life, if you have to run with it, you will move faster than a crawl. lol

If anything if they ever implement faster speed that crawl. should be super high stamina draining... maybe if you run with a lift object, you can only go 5-10 tiles before burning out, but then some peeps would use it to make themselves hungry =P
