Ok. Please everyone stop suggesting tin as a structual metal! :evil:

Tin is not a strong metal. If you tried to make screws out of tin, they would break quite easily. No one uses or has made any effort to use tin to make things. Tin is used in alloys and as a surface coating. That's all!

Well, all I know is I've got tin in my hometown and no clue how to use it. Heck, build a pushcart and then coat it with tin, or make little tin soldiers and chess pieces; I don't care, I just want a use for the stuff. :P

If you guys want a push-cart, hell, I can add one.

Might I point out, however, that you will go SLOWER than normal walking speed if you were forced to push a cart down a road? Or even pull one, for that matter (I know, I know, the Ricksjaw makes you go faster, but that's because your running to pull along your passenger and make them happy! At least, that's my excuse.)

Also, the cart could only be driven on paved or stone roads, maybe a dirt path... I'd have to look at them all and decide which.

So in other words, the push-cart would sacrifice speed for storage. Ya' still want it?

Yes, yes! just make sure it has a respectable amount of storage :)

And despite what I've said, please don't but aluminum in it...

About the Riksjaw...it was suggsted somewhere here that it was a modernish pedal riksjaw...that could legitimately be faster than walking.

Yes, that would be very good. Cantr is in need of vehicles like that. Just don't go making it godawefully expensive.

Weeeelllll.... Slower than juggling twenty different kinds of items, like loose potatoes and bits of stone and wood while holding a weapon and shield at the same time? Constantly dropping things and unable to even see where you're stepping because all the crap you're carrying is in the way? It's like trying to carry several bags of groceries inside, only without the bags and without the front door just a few steps away from the car.

LOL, I'm just being difficult. Speed would be an acceptable sacrifice for traders as long as you could carry a lot more stuff; though it *would* be nice if there was also some sort of way to speed up a little without needing a big complicated vehicle.

Of course, if domesticated horses were introduced we wouldn't even be having this conversation... *cough*

Well, I have three vehicles lined up already to be added once vehicles are split into parts. These vehicles are non-vehicle vehicles. What I mean is... it's not a car, and it's not a cart, but it's still a type of transportation. Like a skateboard, for instance. I don't remember if a skateboard was one of those vehicles, but I'm too lazy to look.

I can't guarantee the push-cart will be added instantly, it might not be added until the vehicles are split into parts, we'll see.

Skateboard! Oh man, now that would be awesome. :D I hope it really is one of the new ones. Simple to make, too, though I guess it would only work on a certain type of road.
