@AusFox Testing on 1.5 with minimum requirements, I'm not able to reproduce this bug. The carts can be constructed both from the restore function and the architect menu blueprint without infinite hauling even with multiple broken carts on the map.

This mod is not updated for Rimworld 1.6, so you may be using the wrong version. Otherwise, this issue may stem from an unforeseen mod conflict.

I have a weird bug where to restore a shopping cart I need a shopping cart and my pawns keep piling up every other cart on the map around the one I'm trying to fix but go no further =(

@Darkequation I did think specifically about implementing armed carts when I made this, but there's already one in the Technical mod & it didn't fit my vision for this which was more for wasteland wanderer roleplay or a hobo-themed playthrough.

@MajorityOfTheInternet It carries 150 for the Ancient Cart and 250 for the Preserved Cart, the idea being that the old parts will buckle and snap off if you add too much weight, while the intact cart can handle much more. It varies by biome but both of the carts travel a bit less than walking speed, I figured that made sense and it's balanced by the fact that you can have far more mass in a one-person caravan with a pretty low investment. The ancient cart travels at .7 speed and the new one at .9, if memory serves. Basically the idea is that the older one probably has a gimpy, hairy wheel (as they always do) and digs into the ground a bit more.

Is it possible to have this?

how much cargo does it carry and how fast does it travel?

Honestly, using shopping carts for caravans isn't such a silly idea, considering it's basically a modern wheelbarrow

i read your comment phil, and the first thing i thought of was a caravan of dudes just sitting cross-legged in shopping carts like their go karts hahaha

I love the mental image of a caravan slowly making its way through a semi-arid landscape as a tumbleweed blow by…with half the colonists sitting cross-armed and trying to look serious while being pushed in shopping carts. :D
