Mine cars

Postby Gary458 » Wed Feb 02, 2011 11:10 pm

look I'm sick of having to pave and then just carting my stuff around like crazy inside of my cave so I thought mine cars and iron rails would be a good idea.
like the palisade the rails would need a cool down but would cover a ton of area enabling building easier and cheaper. also in a cave there is almost no decay same with mine car and rails. Mine cars made of 10 bars of cast and 4 wooden wheels, (wooden wheels take 2 boards) and use your characters legs for power. Lets say you need to get to your tin mine and copper mine to get some ore, you push off once and your rolling you stop at tin mine grab you stuff push off to copper mine,stop get your stuff and start again and your done

It should take two people who do the handle up and down thing, because it'd be funnier that way.

Really though, I like this.

Or you could just build a village with crossroads.

sounds kind of like it would be a lot more trouble and expense than paving a road and building a milestone system and using a cart

quote it would be faster than a cart and for people who don't want to put a village claim this is a better alternative
EDIT: could also use a pulley system to pull mine car

What if it was a minetrain, ie you could essentially pull multiple carts at once? THe limit could have something to do with gear q and operator strength, or something like that.
