Wagonborn

Your wagon is a truck now.

A Hauling skill for Valheim by blackhearthx. Pull a moving cart to level the skill. The higher it goes, the easier the cart is to pull. Vanilla carts stay vanilla — no extra models.

How to use

1. Install with a mod manager (Thunderstore / r2modman). Jötunn is pulled in automatically.
2. Load a world, attach to a cart, and walk. Standing still does not grant XP.
3. Open the skills menu. Hauling (Carreto in Portuguese) appears after the first bit of XP.
4. Look at a cart to see your skill level and current pull weight.

Heavier moving loads train faster. At level 100, pull weight is reduced by up to 50% — hills still matter.

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jötunn

Install on the host/server and every client.

Config

After the first launch: BepInEx/config/com.blackhearthx.wagonborn.cfg

Identity

Do not change the GUID or skill id after release.

Changelog

1.3.3

• Hauling no longer resets after playing the character without Wagonborn (mod turned off or another mod profile). The level is kept in a backup and comes back the next time you load in with the mod

1.3.2

• Hover cleanup: compact lines, no raw $KEY_* tokens
• Map toggle is Shift+E (Valheim AltPlace), not Alt+E
• Buddy tip only when someone is helping; softer pin messages
• Parked carts no longer count you as a helper (no fake "1 nearby", no free weight cut)
• Shift+E no longer takes the cart from a friend who is pulling it; hidden pins are per player now
• Carts stay on the map when you walk away (last known spot; the host sees every cart)
• Hauling XP now scales with the real load, so it no longer drops as your skill rises; helpers earn it reliably in co-op
• Weight updates right away on hitch and unhitch instead of up to 5 seconds later
• A cart can no longer stay frozen after a portal if the re-hitch misses
• Steady hitch leash works even with portal transport turned off
• Map and buddy lines translated into all 20 languages
• Config: WeightXpScale replaced by LoadXpScale (240); MaxSkillMassReduction capped at 0.8

1.3.1

• Every cart is on the map by default; Alt+Use hides or shows that cart only (each pin is independent)

1.3.0

• Live map pin for carts (same idea as Hearthwife): moves in real time on the minimap and world map
• Alt+Use on a cart to mark or clear; hitching can auto-mark (config)
• Wheel icon on the pin so it reads as a cart, not a generic mark

1.2.2

• Removed the V hotkey hitch — attach and detach with Use (E) only

1.2.1

• Unhitch reliably: hotkey always drops the cart you are pulling (even when it is behind you)
• Out-of-place hitch no longer glues the cart within attach range
• Longer pull leash uses a finite distance (default 8 m) instead of never auto-dropping

1.2.0

• Hotkey attach / detach nearby carts (default V), even when a bit off the hitch
• Buddy help: friends near a pulled cart lighten the load
• Helpers also earn Hauling XP while the cart is moving
• Soft-defers hotkey + buddy mass to BetterCarts if that mod is loaded

1.1.0

• Attached cart teleports with you through portals and dungeon rune stones
• Cart re-attaches on arrival; exit point nudged forward so the cart fits
• Optional: cart no longer auto-detaches when you drift a few meters while pulling
• Defers to TeleportEverything if that mod is also installed (no double transport)

1.0.3

• Cache the attached cart for XP (no full-scene scan every frame)
• Guard XP until the Hauling skill is registered
• Safer cart hover text if localization is not ready
• Deploy path targets the Default Thunderstore profile

1.0.2

• Package icon with Wagonborn / Hauling Skill / blackhearthx identity

1.0.1

• Cart/wheel skill icon
• Extra language translations

1.0.0

• Hauling skill (Carreto): pull a moving cart to level up
• Higher skill makes carts easier to pull
• No visual cart upgrades
