Since Alpha 16 just added the traveling system, I thought it would be a good idea to also add carts, animal drawn carriages and horses. Carts need to be built, they increase your mass capacity without  slowing you down, however, as a balancing feature, you need two people per cart. Animal drawn carriages would be a multi-step process, requiring you to, first, build the carriage, second, tame a large animal (such as a Muffalo, Elephant or Dromedary) and third, train the animal to pull the carriage. Animal driven carriages don't need more than one person to drive them and they increase your speed, how much they increase your speed is determined by the quality of the carriage, the material it's made out of and the speed of the animals pulling it. Horses aren't in the game, now is the perfect time to add them, while I wouldn't mind if the other systems came in later alphas since they are complicated features, I'd say that the next update is a good time to finally add horses to the game. I suggest giving them advanced trainable intelligence.

Well, horses are in my Taiga Creatures mod. ^^

Though I like the idea of having carriages, as well as ridable animals, for caravans.

Well, I'm not really into modding, I only have 3 mods (edb prepare carefully, expanded prosthetics and Efficient light mods) so I wasn't aware there was a mod that adds horses.
