Home was close though, and the rest of the journey went without mishap.Īll in all, I think the experiment was a success-I managed to get the stone back to my base-though the carts were looking a little worse for wear towards the end. It didn't help when one cart hit a rock, tipped backwards, and pushed its wolf flailing into the air. It took several minutes to get the cart back up the right way and attached once more, then several more to get the tree-bound cart and set the two trailing wolves to follow in the nice side-by-side formation they'd had previously. Luckily, the cart followed, but both wolf and cart managed to take out several saplings and a small bush before the cart overturned and the wolf came wandering back looking embarrassed. As I was pondering the least disruptive way to retrieve it, one wolf broke formation and ran off after a deer that clearly needed to be taken care of right now. We'd only gone a little further when one of the carts got stuck on a tree. The wolf cub was fine, and soon wandered off, so we continued on our way. But perhaps not so much when the new life in question's first memory is getting run over by a cart.
I'd fed the wolves before we set off to give them the 'happy' status-I didn't want to deal with disgruntled workers on the first trip, after all-but the wolves had other ideas. The first mishap was when I stopped to repair the carts, and one of the trailing wolves decided that it seemed an appropriate time to give birth. I kept a slow pace so as not to disturb the formation, and we made good progress. After some initial shuffling, the wolves behind me settled on walking side-by-side, just behind the cart my own wolf was pulling. Okay, so four carts may have been a bit ambitious-I decided to try again with three. It started well, but then as they all converged behind me the carts overturned, suspending the wolves in the air. Wolves like to group up when they follow you, but they take up considerably more space when towing a cart. Everything was going to plan until I mounted one and recalled the rest to me. I repeated this with the remaining three. Putting one wolf on follow at a time, I attached the cart, then let them wander. Once I'd untangled wolf from cart and put everything back in a neat line, I decided to change tactics. I tried a few times to realign them all, but that just ended with a pile of overturned carts and howling wolves. I initially had them all follow me, and secured the first cart to one wolf-easy, until it knocked over the second cart as soon as it turned to face me. The first mishap was when I stopped to repair the carts, and one of the trailing wolves decided that it seemed an appropriate time to give birthĪs it turns out, attaching carts to multiple wolves isn't as easy as you might think. I'm not going to fill the carts completely because that would take far too long, and honestly, I'm not sure how this will go. Once I've found a decent spot, I let the wolves wander as I set about gathering the stone and loading it into the newly crafted carts.
I collect the materials I'll need to make four carts, put four wolves on follow, and head out. Carts can also be difficult to pull over rough terrain, so I will choose a reasonably clear path across the meadows.Īs it happens, I need more stone to finish building the walls around my harbour, and I know just the spot to gather some. That's probably for the best-even four carts will take a fair amount of time to fill.
Valheim restricts the 'follow' command to four animals by default. The only slight downside is that, despite having a vast number of wolves, I'm not able to put them all to work-not simultaneously anyway.
