How To Build & Use Carts in Valheim

Carts are an essential tool in Valheim for transporting items and resources across your world. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about unlocking carts and using them effectively in your gameplay.

Understanding Valheim’s Unlock System

In Valheim, the way you unlock items and tools is straightforward: you need to gather all of the required ingredients. Once you have the components for an item, you’ll automatically unlock the ability to craft it. This system applies to carts as well.

Cart Requirements and Crafting

To build a cart in Valheim, you’ll need the following materials:

Wood

Bronze nails

A workbench

Before you can create bronze nails, you must first unlock bronze. Bronze is crafted by combining tin and copper at your workbench. Once you’ve smelted and processed these ores, craft your bronze nails at the workbench.

After you’ve obtained all the necessary materials and crafted the bronze nails, the cart will automatically unlock in your building hammer menu. You can then construct your cart wherever you need it.

How to Use Your Cart

Once your cart is built, using it is simple. Press the E key while standing near the cart to open its storage interface. This allows you to add items and resources to the cart’s inventory.

To move your cart, stand directly in front of it and press the use key. Make sure you’re positioned properly in front of the cart for the interaction to work correctly. Once activated, you can run along while hauling your cart to transport your items wherever you need to go.

Summary

Building and using carts in Valheim is an efficient way to manage your inventory while traveling. Simply gather wood, bronze nails, and access to a workbench, and you’ll have a reliable way to transport resources across your world. Remember to press E to access storage and use the interaction key while standing in front of the cart to start hauling your goods.
