Monkey Cart current price change

The official patch record changes Monkey Cart from 800 to 200. This page preserves the direction and published values with the patch date rather than treating 200 as an eternal economy constant.

Check the current store after later updates, especially because solo and team shop tuning is now separate.

What Monkey Porter does

The launch announcement describes a Monkey Assistant that follows with its own cart, picks up small loot, and runs it back to the boat. Later patch wording uses Monkey Porter and defines its lifecycle.

The evidence supports delivery assistance, not a claim that it handles every item size, path, or hazard.

One level, spent on delivery

Current patch notes say Porter lasts for one level and is spent on delivery, not death. They also say it no longer respawns every level.

Those distinctions matter when reading older advice: a Porter disappearing after a completed delivery is not the same event as dying, and launch behavior should not be assumed after the fix.

Cart upgrades in the launch build

The launch post names Organizer, Deeper Cart, and Cart Cannon as examples in the upgraded cart system. It does not publish a complete upgrade tree or exact numeric modifiers.

The official media shows a cart cannon facing a Kraken, which is valid visual context but not a damage test.

Cart and funicular fix

An Aug 20 hotfix addresses the cart/funicular interaction. This is relevant to Castle transport, while the source does not justify a full mechanical walkthrough or guarantee against every future collision issue.

Keep the cart centered, avoid crowding moving transport, and record the build if a repeatable transport fault remains.

Use it in the current hauling loop

Large objects became about 26% lighter on Aug 26, while the Porter description focuses on small loot. Combine tools by item type instead of assuming the assistant replaces manual heavy hauling.

The loot guide covers breakable valuables, route staging, and performance context for loot-heavy scenes.
