noxiousd Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Where to find: Most markets, some storefronts, the occasional one strewn near abandoned buildings Primary Use: To hold a large amount of gear (50-100 slots?) and transport it Other possible uses: To carry corpses away, makeshift battering ram, carry injured friends Negatives: Moves slower off road, makes a noise (similar radius to the shouting), can be tipped by Zombies (causing small wait to make it upright), can't be moved through doorways, possibly can rust/break? Why its needed: Many a time me and my friends have become annoyed when trying to migrate our bases, or even just carry a few items at once, its really awkward slowly shuffing items between places, this would help (at least until vehicles or something that uses the railway is added) I'd imagine it would be simple enough, just add in one of the boxes already ingame, and make it attach to a character (though im no expert) Cpt.Flapjack and Jela331 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silents429 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I don't know why, but when you called it a "Trolley" I felt the urge to harm children..Regardless 30-50 slots is more fitting for the "Trolley" DoctahWong and noxiousd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApolloDiaspora Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 This has been discussed quite a lot before. In the future, have a quick look with the search function before suggesting anything. And, welcome to the forums!

Apart from the odd friendly fire incident bit of close air support, we're a friendly bunch Apollo!, don't tell them about that 'thing' where i stole Rathlord's hammer of Bannification, otherwise, i'm toast. I kind of agree with this idea, one negative is that you would move a bit slower, but sprinting can help a tiny bit with pushing it. And yes, welcome to the forums. Where all devs put me in their watch list since i got 2 warning points!, now i'm hiring you to do my dirty work(Not really). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctahWong Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ahem. Less talking about banhammers and warning points, and more about shopping trolley's But ban hammers are the best pa- fine. Trolleys are majestic creatures, but they are slowly becoming extinct. Then comes the fan, which has murdered people while they sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try 'shopping cart' I do support this idea though. I'd also like to see hand trucks to move larger objects like fridges, sofas or large piles of heavy items etc. I like to choose the color of my sofa even in the apocalypse. I think this is a bit far fetched atm though. noxiousd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbles Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'd love a trolley, but how would it work exactly? It'd have a pretty fat storage space suitable for lots of logs, planks, piles of canned goods, etc. But how would it be moved around? Could its noise level vary? Will the player be able to "sneak" with it as well as "sprint"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syfy Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 the noise a standard shopping cart from my local grocer makes would get every zombies attention for probably 2-300 yards all around, when going across a paved parking lot. they are not designed to be quiet, only to haul enough items that you go broke buying the weeks food needs. there may be a way to deaden the sound with thin foam pads attached to the basket, but then you have the noise the wheels make. and trying to take one off a hard surface (concrete, blacktop) onto uneven grass, thru a field, even thru a wooded area could get frustrating and it could easily tip over....without having a load in it. would also cause issues with the wheels if they get stuff stuck in whatever type of ball bearing system they use. don't get me wrong, i want something like this to haul logs back to the base like everyone else, but in real life it would be a hard thing to work with. and don't forget, the lower frame work, the part the wheels attach too, tends to get a little bent causing that one wheel to chatter and randomly spin in circles. you know what i mean, we've all had that one cart that drove you nuts in the store. some people would suggest the plastic basket carts common at Wal Mart and Target, but those would most likely break when you threw a few logs in there, and there is no way to really fix broken plastic, you would end up wasting a lot of useful materials to try and keep the cart useful.

Kurruk Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Wheel barrow for construction, with proper rubber wheel is the way to transport stuff around. It's rather quiet, not counting the noise from item you are transporting, and after a while you can even almost run wit it.That remains me: http://www.infotales.com/teen-invents-a-wheelbarrow-with-an-engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyoni Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 A little bit to add on to this here: I know vehicles lining the streets are eventually planned, but what about taking Ambulances into account? They usually have those wheeled stretchers with them to carry bodies - and in most lore, the apocalypse starts with all ambulances being deployed to small emergencies before anyone figures out what's actually going on. One of those stretchers could easily be used to carry a lot of supplies, as a ram, etc... It would be a nice way of having a few (more varied) wheeled carts outside of the down-town shopping area.
