Carts Easier to Pull Through Gates

Post by Jackard »

I can do it, but its still annoying to have carts catch on a post.

Is it possible to thin their bounding box?

Or just make it slide slightly. So long as you aren't doing something really stupid like pulling it sideways.


Also include corpses to the carts allowed carried items, I was killing cows and was disappointed I couldn't chuck their corpses on my cart.
I will steal all of the RuneStones in the land, if your stone has gone missing in the night then I'm already hauling it.

You mean carts _can_ go through gates now? When palisades etc. first came out, the word was
Do not attempt to pull a cart through a gate, you wont get out unless you destroy the cart.
When did that change, and why didn't I notice?

Yes, but it can be tricky. If you mess it up, you have to pull them back out from the other side and try again. (Hope you had more than one entrance.)

The cart's bounding box should, indeed, be narrowed. Please nag on Jorb to do that.

or you could just fill the cart with chests, butcher on the spot and fill your chests. instead of only carrying 4 corpses you can carry 144 slots worth of items.

It also needs to not collide with rats/chickens/the player. There's nothing more annoying than having a near invisible rat path in front of you and snag your cart as you're running along a road, or to have the cart catch up to you a little too fast and count YOU as an obstacle, and thus stop dead while you run on for a little before you notice it isn't following.

Heh, I'd settle for a horse with some saddle bags on it. Speed three with no stamina drain? To offset it maybe the horse has to eat too, or something.
