Description

A mobile container used to transport cargo.

Note: At very low fine carpentry skills, it is a good idea to make a couple of extra shafts and planks.

Notes

  • The first plank is lost if you fail the initial attachment.
  • The Quality of the cart affects its decay rate. Small carts are naturally very resistant to damage.
  • The bulk of item affects how many fit into a cart.
  • Although carts cannot be dragged in water tiles, they can be pushed.
  • 6.05 kg of dye is needed to paint a cart.
  • An unfinished cart missing only one plank weighs 23.40 kg, and will fit inside other carts and rafts for easy transport.
  • The maximum weight you can drag in a small cart is determined by the formula (Body strength * 7 - Amount of weight you're carrying) * 10 - 60kg. See body strength for more details.

Useful Quantities

The following are the maximum hard-coded amounts of certain items a small cart can hold due to their volume or other factors (weight has no say here).

Tips

Clay or similar items can be combined to bypass the universal container limit of 100 items.

Building Items Inside Carts

This is a precarious thing to do as sometimes an item must be on the ground in order to be continued or finished. Other times, the item may be too heavy to remove from the cart once finished or too heavy to remove to add the last piece, leaving you with a 99% complete item that can never be used. A patch was applied in October 2008 making it impossible to finish most items inside carts, including, but not restricted to, fountains.

A few amusing things that used to be able to be finished inside carts: Shrines. Fountains. Guard Towers. Forges (could not light). Mailboxes.
