Old wood carts set

Old wood cart set

27/05/2023 - Initial release.

27/05/2023 - Update 1.1 - Minor update for a small fix (including a "new" empty heavy cart).

01/06/2023 - Update 2.0 – More carts and variants for ancients carts

21/07/2024 - Update 3.1 - Total overhaul:

• All carts have been rebuild from the start. New carts are not exactly similar to the older versions.
• Thanks to the “local texture alignment” introduced in the last version, wood fibers are now correctly aligned on mains planks and beams, regardless of the cart orientation IG.
• 4-wheels carts (wagons) have a parking brake now.

Planed in next version : Feel free to make suggestions.

Description

It’s a set of old wood carts of different size and shape for preindustrial worlds. Most are designed to be used with horses or others draft animals (bullock, donkey, horses...). Of course, its only static objects for scenery at the moment, but that can eventually evolve if the game allows it someday.

They are tree main types of carts:

• Hand carts, with two small wheels. They are designed to be pulled by a human.
• Carts, with two big wheels. They are designed to be pulled by a single draft animal.
• Wagons, with four wheels, two medium and two big. They are designed to be pulled by two or four draft animals.

Each of theses carts exists in two different sizes (small and big), and with different trays (sticks I, Planks I & II, Box I & II). They are also some additional carts that do not fit into the previous classification :

• Hay carts in two different sizes (small and big), both in a loaded or empty variation.
• Transport cart, actually only in small size.
• The three sizes of wheels are also available separately.

Installation & usage

Just unzip the last version into your blueprint folder (usually \Steam\steamapps\common\RisingWorld\_New Version\Blueprints).

Of course, you need to use your blueprint table to obtain the set content.

In each blueprint they are two blocks of rocks, one at the front, the other at the bottom. They allow to place the carts on the grid. For any other use, you just need to remove them after placement.

Thanks

Thanks to Deirdre for allowing the use of her "Strohgarbe / Straw sheaf" blueprint, which allows to make the loaded versions of Hay carts.

Screenshots

Thanks for your support.

Update v2, details on the first post.

Thanks Boing for the resources that you provide, that's helpful. You are right, the brake system and the drawbar need to be in focus for the next update.

If you have more documentation, I always appreciate it. I have no wood cart at my disposal to check all the details

I started a complete overhaul of this set of blueprints, wanting to try the local texture alignment introduced in the last version. Wood textures are better oriented, allowing a much better result who convice me to redo this from the start. You will find the first attempt in the attachments.

Thanks Ludy. The previous version of the wheel is available as a separate piece in the previous version of the set, and this one will be available when the overhaul will be ready.

Update 3.1 is done, see the first post for download

Just open your blueprint folder (usually \Steam\steamapps\common\RisingWorld\_New Version\Blueprints) and unzip the Old wood carts v3.1.zip content inside.

I'm not sure to understand what you mean.

If you play on some server, every player who wants to place one this this blueprint should install it, no more. If you have this blueprint and another player not, that don't matter. This is not a mod, just a set of blueprints, so its use only item already in game.
