LoxWagon

LoxWagon

Build a lox-drawn cargo carrier or a covered travelling camp using Valheim's native models and materials.

0.11.0 is a public testing release. LoxWagon is pre-1.0 and intended for continued singleplayer testing. Multiplayer is unverified and is not supported for this release.

| | Cargo Wagon | Nomad Wagon |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Storage | 32 slots, 8 × 4 | 24 slots, 6 × 4 |

| Maximum health | 1,200 | 3,600 |

| Default empty mass | 65 | 100 |

| Passenger seats | Two front, one rear | Two front |

| Equipment | Visible crates, barrels and a full-load hide cover | Covered cabin, bed, workbench, cartography table, lanterns and spare wheel |

Both wagons have an articulated four-wheel chassis, a tamed-lox hitch, configurable cargo weight and optional flotation. Their visible cargo changes with the number of occupied inventory slots.

New in 0.11.0

The exterior shield now faces outward correctly. Starboard exterior cargo, including the spare wheel and its attachments, sits slightly farther aft; the shield stays in its existing location.

The spare wheel sits farther clear of the unchanged canopy, slightly lower and with a gentle hanging lean. Rounded rope cradles replace the angular lashings. The wheel now responds to travel with the same restrained sway as the other exterior cargo, while its rail hitches stay fixed.

Cover-aware snow, hitched boarding and Lie Down, the permanent cartography table, pale lox-pelt borders and simpler rolled ends carry forward from 0.10.9. Storage, recipes, mass and saved controls are unchanged.

Building a wagon

Both Cargo Wagon and Nomad Wagon appear in the Hammer menu. Neither requires a crafting station. Construction materials are recoverable through normal dismantling.

Hitching and riding

• Bring a tamed lox to the front of the wagon.
• Aim at either wooden shaft or the central hitch and press Use to attach it.
• Mount the lox with its normal saddle and ride to pull the wagon.
• Use a shaft or the central hitch again to detach.

Passengers can use the bench seats. To enter the upright Nomad cabin, jump onto the rear steps or use Climb Aboard. Unhitching is not required.

If a wagon overturns, detach the puller and have passengers dismount. Aim at the wagon and follow Right wagon, using alternate place + Use, normally Left Shift + E. Recovery needs enough space and reasonably level, solid ground. It preserves cargo and damage and leaves the wagon detached.

Using the Nomad Wagon

• Inventory: use the wooden chest just inside the rear opening on the workbench side. It opens the wagon's single 24-slot hold.
• Workbench: craft, repair and build within its normal station range. Nearby workbench upgrades can improve it.
• Bed: stop and unhitch, then use the bed to sleep. Alternate place + Use lets you lie down while hitched without skipping the night. Normal night, fire, enemy and wetness checks apply to sleeping. Your respawn point stays unchanged.
• Cartography: use the red ink bowl to record discoveries, or the map to read shared discoveries. Map data is saved separately for each wagon, independently of its inventory.
• Lanterns: turn the interior and rear lanterns on or off independently. They need no fuel and do not provide campfire heat.
• Cover: use the rolled hide over the rear opening to hide or restore the roof and front covering together.
• Banner: use the end of the skinny upper starboard pole to cy
