Talk:Large cart
Should the generic warnings (like building things inside carts) be moved to the cart page, and make it a category instead of a disambiguation page?
Speed
How fast can you go with animals hitched to the large cart?
- 1 old bull dragged it with 0.72km/h on packed dirt. - Ulviirala 23:55, 3 April 2009 (CDT)
- Heard that two bulls dragged a cart at about 5km/h.
- 1 old bull and 1 adolescent horse w/o any "upgrades" 3.60km/h. - Ulviirala 03:27, 9 April 2009 (CDT)
- Same adolescent horse on its own 1.72km/h. - Ulviirala 03:27, 9 April 2009 (CDT)
- Two adolescent/mature horses with QL50 shoes, one with bridle, 3.60km/h.
It looks like the cart maxes out at 3.60km/h with any type of creature. Here's a quote from IRC:
- <Rolf> i haven't hardcoded a max speed limit but maybe it's not possible to get it higher with those creatures
- <Rolf> ox carts are notoriously slow
- <Rolf> part of the siesta manana image
Notes
The cart doesn't speed up downhill, but it doesn't slow down uphill either.
With the latest changes to mounts, the cart doesn't speed up downhill, but it does slow down when going uphill now.
Terrain doesn't affect cart speed.
At steep slopes (20?) the cart might not move. You have to move forward and double-strafe (hold your walk left and your walk right keys), to get up that hill but it's very slow.
This has been fixed and the animals don't go up or down any slope above 24.
Dragging
The formula applied to small carts does not seem to be valid for large carts. I propose testing: ((BodyStr * 7 - AmountYoureCarrying) * 10) - 240. - Ulviirala 02:58, 4 April 2009 (CDT)
