Wheelbarrows

Postby Michabean » Thu Mar 23, 2006 7:10 pm

I looked for this suggestion and didn't see it. Wouldn't it make sense that if someone had a wheelbarrow they would be able to carry more? I have a character who needs to transfer a lot of stuff from one storage to another. It takes such a long time to do this because she can only carry 15000g at a time. Or if not a wheelbarrow then maybe something else that would help at times like this?

The most appropriate thread I found regarding these strange and mythological objects was found here: 8)

Granted, that does not address your specific suggestion, but I believe it may have been suggested before. Any veterens care to elucidate us?

The wheelbarrow is not to be confused as a vehicle, but consider it a tool. Imagine filling it with sand and stone and oil, and maybe a shovel, and then using that tool to increase the rate at which you might work on something.....infastructurish. :wink:

Thats its intention as far as I have heard, but I do not know if it actually helps.

Nope, it doesn't. According to Chirs Johnson in this thread:

In some other tthread it was proposed that they should be used as a vehicle... as this doesn't require iron. Whether it's thought practical to have someone push a wheelbarrow for days is another matter, but that's no different to a rickshaw.

I just want some kind of tool that would enable one person to carry more than 15000g from one building to another. I only used the wheelbarrow as an example.

The "wooden cart" - a cheap vehicle that would provide little or no speed boost but greatly increase carrying capacity - is a suggestion that comes up from time to time (partly because I keep bringing it up). It would, however, not be any good for carrying goods from one building to another. Just make the multiple trips.

The intent for the wheelbarrow is that it be used as a tool on road improving projects. There were some technical issues that needed to be straightened out. It will not be used as a vehicle. There are still thoughts to add the wooden cart Sho mentioned, but it is low in the queue at the moment.

Is the wheelbarrel working again for road improvements? I didn't think it worked...
