Wear and Tear on the Travois

[SuperRetro]

So I've been making a massive expedition from Timberwolf mountain, down through Blackrock and Keeper's pass to Pleasant Valley using the Travois. I've noticed that the amount of stuff you carry (I thought it would be a good idea to try to bring 100+ kilos of gear with me) increases the amount of condition loss. However, I'm wondering whether or not dragging it over a road, rock, or ice instead of snow increases the damage it takes. Anyone know if this is real, or if it's just a constant distance value thing, or otherwise that calculates it. I'm on Stalker Difficulty for extra context.

From what I can tell it’s a flat calculation of drag time last night I loaded up a full bear and nearly maxed out the sled and despite me walking noticeably slower the sled didn’t degrade any faster down Timberwolf mountain than dragging it back and forth down the road and train tracks in ZoC from idle camp to unquenched extraction for over a month

Yeah, just reached the pleasant valley farmhouse and it's only degraded ~25-30%. Side note: Never try to go through Keeper's pass with a Travois. I spent an entire in-game day and a half shuttling items through the crawl area in North KP.  Even moving the items up and down the rope between TM and PV couldn't be that tedious.

I tried that not too long ago (Keeper's with a travois). Ended up leaving a TON of stuff at the trailer. I may go back and get it at some point, but I have other things I need to do first. Keeper's is not a good fit with the travois.
