NewRanch:Mounts and Vehicles
New Ranch has three mounts you ride and three vehicles that haul cargo between loading docks on their own.
Mounts
| Mount | Summon item | Recipe | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draft Horse | Draft Harness | 15 Flax, 10 Wool Tuft, 8 Barn Bar (Work Bench); also sold by the Farrier | Run speed 8, jump height 6. While moving it plants the crop seed you are holding into empty Fallow or Rich Soil. |
| Farm Tractor | Tractor Keys | Combine Heart, 6 Thresher Parts, 10 Furrow Bar (Mythril Anvil) | Run speed 10.5. Driving fast over dirt or grass turns it into Fallow Soil. |
| Cloudboard | Cloudboard | 60 Condensed Cloud, 10 Sky Crystal Bar, 25 Sunplate Block (Skyforge) | Speed 12.5, no fall damage. No flight time: it holds its height while moving fast and sinks when slow. |
The Farrier moves in once a player owns a Draft Harness. For 5 gold he shoes the horse permanently: +25% speed and no fall damage while riding.
Cargo vehicles
The Horse Cart, Tractor and Trailer and Airship are not ridden. Right-click a Loading Dock to put a vehicle on a route; it then carries goods between two docks.
| Vehicle | Recipe | Cargo | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horse Cart | Draft Harness, 40 Barn Plank, 12 Barn Bar, 8 Iron Bar (needs Farm Works) | 8 slots | Depends on road quality |
| Tractor and Trailer | Combine Heart, 10 Thresher Parts, 18 Harrow Bar, 12 Chain (Mythril Anvil, needs Farm Works) | 24 slots | 3× faster than the cart |
| Airship | Sky Chart, 20 Sky Crystal Bar, 200 Cloud, 40 Silk (Mythril Anvil) | 40 slots | Same speed on any terrain; slower in rain and storms |
The Airshipwright moves in once the Sky Dock has been fully repaired.
Cart raids
With Cart raids on (default), a trip can be raided. The risk grows with route length and is lowered by a good road and guards; it rises at night, during invasions, Blood/Pumpkin/Frost Moons and the mod's night events, and is capped at 45%. A raid takes 35% of the cargo (less with a driver on board, less again with the tractor). Riding along prevents raids entirely. The vehicle and the draft animal are never lost.
