Player in Valheim needs a cart in cases when you go to the forest for firewood or to search for ore.

In this guide, we will tell you how exactly to make a cart in Valheim and how to use it effectively. Let's go!

Distinctive features of the cart

Every player in this game has encountered a situation where they simply can't carry all the loot. That's where the cart comes in handy, but you need to make it. It's a real gift for players because as the character and their possessions develop, the materials for construction become heavier and more abundant.

The developers designed it in such a way that the total weight of the cart affects how difficult it will be for you to drag it. It behaves just like a real cart, following the laws of physics. Leave it on a hill - it will roll down, and so on. The cart cannot be overloaded, but it has a capacity of 18 slots.

How to make a cart

To make a cart, you first need to obtain a deer antler pickaxe. You can make it from the antler you get as a result of defeating the first boss.

Next, you need to find a piece of tin and copper, and then smelt them into a bronze ingot. To do this, you will need a forge and a smelter. The bronze ingot will give you an additional 20 nails.

After that, the recipe for building a cart will appear in your menu. To make a cart, you need 10 nails and 20 units of wood.

To build the required item, take a hammer in your hand and right-click. Then go to the Miscellaneous tab. Drag the cart to the desired location. To use it, simply approach it and press E.

Using the cart

The cart in Valheim is an indispensable helper for you. It can carry an unlimited number of items, regardless of their weight.

For example, when you need to gather a lot of wood or carry ore, the cart will be extremely useful. When it's full, just transport it to a storage area and unload it.

You can overload everything into your inventory without releasing the cart by using the Ctrl key and left-click. Remember that the cart can break, so take care of it - avoid uneven terrain, rocks, and water. Also, don't let trolls get near it, as they can destroy it in an instant.

After your cart is broken, all the contents will fall to the ground in crates. You can repair the cart using a hammer.
