wheelbarrows, carts, speed, no logic

Post by shubla »

Dragging a cart with 6 full wheelbarrows is faster than pushing 1 empty wheelbarrow.

You are doing it wrong. You are supposed to carry the wheelbarrow above your head, obviously. As it is doesn't drain stamina that way and is faster after a certain STR.

(Sort of +1, just adding more to the inconsistency picture)

Dragging a cart full of 6 dead corpses is faster than carrying one dead body.

Using cart provides better weight distribution. Also big wheels! It is pretty logical

Wheelbarrows could be faster than carts is one solution.

When I was working construction, I could push a loaded wheelbarrow faster than I could push my old Volkswagen Beetle, which was about the weight of six loaded wheelbarrows... and I should know: I push-started that thing more times than I can count or like to admit. One was across sand, loose gravel, and dirt, the other was down a paved street, too.

This doesn't take into account game convenience. I'm one that I'd rather have convenience on this rather than realism. If anything drop the stamina drain from pushing a wheelbarrow if pulling a loaded cart isn't going to cause it, or they both get it and drain should be based on whether they're loaded or not.

but.... everyone runs faster with a knife in their hand in the real life

yeah they could make the pushing speed higher enough to make sense, and every other things about speed that are wrong

so does the wheelbarrow, and the wheelbarrow is significantly smaller, and it doesn't have 6 wheelbarrows inside of it

Dragging fresh dead hearthling is easier than its skeleton.

Because fresh dead is not falling apart yet. :)
