it didn't work at all for me, when I use it it just disappears, can't see it at all. so I don't know if you have it but try to add it to TheCenter, and make the weight like 1\4 of the normal weight of the items.

@Toosik, do you mean make the weight of the items in inventories on the cart 1/4? Currently, the wooden cart can carry 1000lbs worth items and then the player can't pull it. Originally I wanted to base the limit off of the player's weight level, but I think I want to keep it at 1000, I think of it as a game mechanic, wooden carts should only be able to carry so much weight, and then make a higher tier cart that can carry more. Realism explanation, wooden cart uses a wooden axle through a wooden wheel causing lots of friction, may make the cart take damage going over the weight limit, the higher tier will use a metal axle, with metal bearings.

I play on The Center and the cart works well. Can even put other small chests from mods on it. Can't wait to see where this mod goes.

Instead of building chests on the cart (which I found to be a bit painful and time consuming to get 2 on as the image shows) you could make a cart that has static box's and inventory like a tamed dinosaur, if it will even work that way im not sure I havent made a mod for ark yet let alone tried.

If they dont support it allready (I havent tried but im guessing no), and its possible with arks coding, paintable carts would be a beautiful cosmetic edition for those who like servers, tribes, or just want their cart to be theirs and not generic.

I dont know how the physics work in the game but the carts seem to be very unstable expecially if the character has anything invested into their movement speed, making the cart heavier in the physics engine might solve this a bit for you, If its possible could impliment some kind of speed limit to go along with this I mean after all your dragging a wood cart with 1000 pounds (or less) on it, not exactly going to be doing that and running a marathon at the same time.

For or if you can do animal carts, please please please please do a raptor one. I love raptors and id love nothing more then to have one pulling a cart and helping me gather materials or explore the islands.

As far as carts with chests/inventory built in, I may do one of those for smaller dino carts or higher tier carts with built in boxes, but I prefer this first main cart not to have inventory or built in chests as it is the basic first tier, unless I make a thatch one, and plus I'm a modular building guy, i believe in giving the player a blank slate to build on. As far as having trouble placing the chests on, I haven't seen a problem with that, I might make the build surface slightly larger to give moe room, but I want this cart to have limitations to what you can put on it, max of 2 small storage boxes, 1 large storage box, a forge, a bed and some boxes or firepits, etc.

I would like to make them paintable, at the moment I think i can only get them to be paintable like the raft, 1 color over the whole surface, but I'm going to look into that.

I did take your advice and have upped the mass, which does provide more stability. For the speed, I will maintain players speed because IRL you could pull a cart at your max running speed, it would just be the acceleration that would be affected based on cart's weight, but once you get going full speed the cart's momentum will carry it without almost any added effort to the person, and so I have changed the players acceleration in the next update to mimic that.

For dino carts, I am going to try to do maybe 3 different sized carts, ones for smaller dinos, medium dinos, and large dinos, so raptor cart yes.

I just wanted to come in here and say thank you for listening to my suggestions and giving your own input or ideas related to them. Alot of people have or say they want suggestions but are so toxic its very hard to talk to them with out getting essentually yelled at. Thank you for not being one of those people.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, Have you thought of doing one with stone wheels? i have had the idear for a while, But when i finnaly thought about getting to do it i seen you have made the cart so i thought of passing on my idea to you.

Another thought i have is wooden wheels with metal ring around the outside of the wheel. and maybe possible like a wagon wheel for higher lvl carts.

Glad to see this mod made and working well, Been playing with it on SP and it awesome addon to have, Keep up the good work

I thought about stone wheels, not sure if I'm going to go there or not, it would be very flinstone though.

Wooden wheel with metal ring is definitely my plan, for next tier should look like reinforced wooden doors and stone dino gates, probably spoked wheel, bigger platform, maybe even allow 1 foundation and 1 wall high structure, like mini building.

No problem, as long as people make somewhat reasonable requests, I'm always open ears to whatever anyone has to say. The mod is mostly for you guys, so I'll always try to cater to the players who want to use it. Sometimes if it is way outside of my vision, I just have to say no, but i'm flexible. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Great mod! Only suggestion is that it'd be nice if carts didn't roll away down hill/didn't clip through structures. The rolling down hill but can be avoided by turning the cart side on, but if I forget to do this I've got to chase it which can be a pain. The other thing I tried was putting it in front of rocks hoping it'd rest on them, but alas, it rolled straight through.

Great work so far!

I was thinking about adding a 'Parking Brake' feature.

wie kann ich son dino wagen an den dino dran anhängen?

For people like me that want this sort of thing to work, stable and test versions on the workshop could be released. Us testers could play with the test branch whilst others can stick to the stable branch.

@Everyone, Thanks for the suggestions. later I will make a list and post in the thread description.

If you have specific suggestions, dino mods you want this to be compatible with, how carts should look, what dinos they should hitch to etc. list that info, if you have pictures for examples, please post them.

Perhaps this mod can work with the following suggestion... for a very large style mortar/pestle, could a large grinding stone be made to sit in it's own holder (I'm thinking of a mill stone) and made to be hooked up to a trike who then placed on wander (?) would traverse round and round to grind up whatever is put into it? Instead of industrial grinders or electrically operated units, something like this would be extremely helpful in the primitive plus mod. After all, the animals are used to collect meats or berries but putting them to work would relieve their boredom between feed runs and make them that much more useful. If you do an internet search for millstone images, you can get a good idea on how one should look.

I think your wooden carts and this millstone would be an amazing addition to the primitive plus mod if it can be worked out.
