Well said Geff. Well said.

Anyway, I would like to further persue this wagon idea, as it fits the timezone, it's not a weapon, and not a boat. Time for some proposed stats.

=Wagon (mk 1)= The wagon is an upgraded, faster and more useful version of a cart. It would have a fabric 'roof', 4 wheels and a wooden base, along with a sheltered seat. Basically looking like this, but with wooden wheels and the cover extending over the seat instead of falling slightly short.

Recipe
The crafting recipe would be rather basic, with the real requirement being the 3 engineering. Hemp + Hemp + Plank + Plank + Plank + Wooden Seat Engeneering 3, Carpentry 4 It costs two hemp for the roof, not using fabric because it would make it too hard to get, with flax being native to only two islands and everyone being far too lazy to farm it. It costs three planks for the base and wheels, as that appears to be the cost of a base and 4 wheels from looking at the other vehicle recipes, and it lastly costs one seat, for obvious reasons.

The skill requirements are what they because firstly, a self propelled wagon that travels faster than a person can run is rather impressive. Therefore it is harder to make than lets say, a fuse leading to a large pile of explosive powder, that has been encased in wood. So level 3 is the clear option. Carpentry is that high because to build the wheels and base, you will need that high of a level, as stated by the crafting recipe for a base and a few wheels that is conveniently provided in the long list of stuff you can make in 303.

Use
The use would be to travel around quicker, burning some off would even allow for raiders to catch up to running nubs, by using their magical pile of wood with a seat attached. Although most wouldn't be that smart, it would be an option for those who need it. The main purpose however, is to provide an easy, rain free method of transportation.

Not much else to say really :/. Uses are rather channeled and direct for this device.

Final Notes
Firstly, I named this mk 1 because we are probably going to change the stats, at which point I will make a text wall for mk two, the finished idea.

Post your opinions about my idea, lets try and get this to the level of completeness we got the smeltery to.
